And now it begins....

I emailed the dept. of health about this, my response for what it's worth,





"While the new law offers clarity to the Affirmative Defense of cultivating more plants than the legal limit of 6 per patient, it does not exactly license anyone to do so. The Affirmative Defense arises when a patient or care-giver has been charged with a crime. A Physician may recommend a higher plant count for their patient, however, the Registry has no special licensing issuance for such a Certification. Essentially we do not recognize higher plant count recommendations, we merely place such recommendations in our confidential registry allowing for patients and/or care-givers to access their records if necessary. Hope that answers your question. Have a good day."

Thank you much for that !

if an LEO can confirm a physician recommended count from the registry that's about all we can ask for. The LEO decides how to proceed based on that info, not the registry. The registry is a database in their dealings with law enforcement.

FWIW, the registry was just authorized to hire 56 more employees to deal with the backlog of 63,000 applications.

I saw that. It's nice they are freeing up $2 million in patient funds to run the patient registry.

NO WAY TO ENFORCE THE LAWS WITHOUT AN UP TO DATE DATABASE

patient apps should be returned within 2 weeks. this is serious shit!

I am SURE law enforcement feels the exact same way

they should obey the Constitution and accept every app over 30 days old. It will make the process go much quicker!

Never mind, I got my card today, dated 7/08/10-- 7/08/11.

Hello, what is the "july 9th deadline?" I thought after you got a rec that you had 60 days to send it in????

What if people got a rec on 6/30????? Thanks

If haven't sent it in yet you need to fill out the new registry application and have it notarized. Your doctor's form is fine.

If you sent it in and they received it by the 9th you should be ok too.
