Hey, how is everything going for you? Haven't seen a post in a while. Hope you're well.

Every MMC will be hooked up to a camera system that will be accessible at any time by _____, I am not sure. We're told that this system won't track amount purchased, but I have concerns about my trips to mmc's being recorded. I have a public image in my other life.

all the more reason to keep growing and to support caregivers and pro-caregiver Centers.

Technically, the 35 day rule has always been in place.

My understanding was it became in place because of 1284. Once you get the rec, under a20, that is all you need. Before 1284, the mmcs were operating like big caregivers. Now with the "mmcs," they have to have 35 days.

I'd love to get in trouble for dispensing medicine to a patient who hasn't received a denial in 35 days but eventually is denied.

Again, my understanding is that after 35 days you are automatically approved. They can't deny you. I would love to see a patient filet them on this.

As a center trying to follow all laws, I appreciate the clarity from Matt Cooke et all. That said, I don't understand this section of the law at all. If MMJ is helping people who are in pain, how can patients be expected to wait 35 days?

Oh I'm sorry you just ruptured your disks in a car accident. We'll see if medical marijuana can help you in a month or so. Until then maybe ice or something.

Like I said, it was technically in place. As "big caregivers", as you put it, we could raise an affirmative defense. Now the protection we had under A20 is gone. Pretty sure we're saying the same thing. Although, according to the city attorney, they'll prosecute anyone in the first 35 days, regardless of where it was purchased. I brought up the aff defense, haven't heard back yet.

I was denied after 35 days because of a problem with the notary. I consider myself approved. :thumbsup:
