Number 9. Patients and caregivers must submit fingerprints to law enforcement and sign a statement that they will not divert marijuana to non-patients.

You have got to be kidding. I'd object to this most strongly. You are not guilty of a crime, you aren't applying for security clearances, etc. Bullshitski!

I agree the fingerprint thing feels very wrong and discriminating.
We don't need to supply prints when we buy our Morphine derivatives or any other medicine.
MMJ should be treated like all other meds.
The AZ program is new and will be changed and amended many times.

4,300 votes decided this! wow. who says your vote doesn't count.

interesting, thanks for posting.

12. A patient who lives within 25 miles of a dispensary may not cultivate their own medical marijuana.

^ thats a new one, I think. and this too is interesting.

20. There can be no more than one dispensary for every ten pharmacies, except that there can be at least one dispensary in every county. pre-emptive strike against the L.A. effect?? :rastasmoke:

25. There shall be a secure, web-based confirmation system accessible by law enforcement and dispensaries, that reveals patientsâ?? and caregiversâ?? names but not addresses and how much marijuana the patient received from all dispensaries in the past sixty days. grow your own. :twocents:

6.Caregivers may receive reimbursement for actual expenses â?? not labor â?? from their own patients only.

I am currently a paid caregiver because the family member patient is paralyzed. I get paid to caregive, i.e, clean, cook, etc. Does this mean if I am the weed caregiver I cannot be paid anymore for the household chores? If so, I'll have someone ellse be her weed caregiver.

[jdevall]

...it sounds like the health dept. is making up it's own rules...without any regards to anyone's rights. Fingerprints of the caregiver might make sense, if they are paid and an employee of a caregiving company. But fingerprints of the patient...or fingerprints of a nonpiaid caregiver is absurd!

NORML should check out the driving studies done in Australia. They showed that drivers under the influence of cannabis, are safer than sober drivers, because they over-compensate by driving slower.

They still have to do the rulemaking process on the law. That will start early december and go untill early april.
