Wait for card after state cashes check?

[HighPopalorum]

We are all so quick to say "ohh it's in our state constitution" well nothing in the constitution says anything about a registry or registering.

This makes me scratch my head... Have you read the state's constitution? A20 deals extensively with the registry and registration. Why would you make such a claim?

I noticed my $90 check just got cashed - I sent my paperwork in mid-Feb - anyone be so kind to tell me if they got their card shortly after seeing check cashed or does state cash 'em and then let the apps sit again? Thanks for any info. Rating: 5

I'd be fine with waiting up to a year if they're going to date them from when they're sent. You're getting a year and a half for the price of one right now!

Hey, got my renewal card yesterday. The CDPHE received my paperwork Dec 09, 2009 and my card was dated 7-22-10, but mailed 7-30-10. Almost number 52,000. A friend got his in April and was in the 37,000 range. That folks equals a lot of votes. The wannabees need to pay attention

Sounds Like I have another 4 - 6 weeks Mine was mailed the End of January.

But if I get 7 - 8 Months free I won't complain

This is correct, My app was dated October, my redcard is dated May17ish, free 6 months! Although, that's six more months til I get my increased plant count, so boo.

I was told by both Lauren Davis and Rob Corry the state registration is optional, all that was needed is written documentation from a doctor saying you would benefit from MMJ. Although having a card is an added layer of protection and less hassle if you had to deal with cops the end result would be the same. I'm really not sure how they arrive at this since it does mention the registry in the amendment.

Is this after 1284/109? I thought that the new legislation REQUIRES caregivers to register with the state? Again, doesn't the legislation deal with MMC's and caregivers more than patients?

A. We are talking about patients.

B. 1284 cannot trump a constitutional amendment.

I have tested the validity of the card twice now. Once roadside, once on my front doorstep. Both times it protected me from arrest and actually garnered me respect from the officer who was sticking his nose in (what they now know is) my business. I shudder to think what would have happened in both situations had i showed them a copy of a form that can be (and is being) printed directly from the Internet and easily forged.

how far would you get dealing with the "authorities" if you failed to have a valid license in these situations that are also governed by the State?

Operating a motor vehicle
hunting/fishing
serving food
acting as a physician
acting as an attorney
operating heavy equipment/trucks for hire
opening a pharmacy
opening a dispensary

I always operate under the fact that "my attorney" will not be sitting beside me in jail when I think about such things. If a license is available to you and you do not complete the process it will cost you a pretty penny and you will take a big risk overall in court to have your rights upheld, if in fact, they are upheld.

So who wants to test the law? Please report back with your findings and how much Corry made off of you to provide such info!

It seems like you are taking the viewpoint that you somehow can't get in trouble if you are A20 compliant but not 1284/109 compliant.

Would you please clarify? Are you saying if I have 100 patients as a caregiver, legal under amendment 20 and illegal under 1284/109 that I can't get in trouble?

Or are you still referring to the affirmative defense if arrested? I think it's important to note whether you are saying to ignore 1284, or that in court, it won't hold up.

I guess I might be naive, but if I am not compliant with 1284/109, then I could get arrested or otherwise get in trouble. Are you saying that's not true? Are you saying that 1284/109 don't have any legal authority, no teeth? It kind of seems that instead of the dept. of health overseeing things (joke), now that the dept. of revenue will handle enforcement will not be a joke with enforcement.

Thoughts?
