Medical Marijuana Frequently Asked Questions - Washington State Dept of Health

What is a valid written recommendation?

Beginning June 10, 2010, a recommendation must be written on tamper-resistant paper. It must also include an original signature by the health care provider, a date, and a statement that says in the health care provider's professional opinion the patient may benefit from the medical use of marijuana. The 2010 law change also prohibits the use of a copy of the patient's medical records in lieu of a recommendation.

"The 2010 law change also prohibits the use of a copy of the patient's medical records in lieu of a recommendation."

As far as I know, none of the cards people are carrying have an original signature. So, a lot of people are walking around with a very false sense of security, thinking the $40 they paid for their card is gonna protect them.

Be careful out there!
