No, I have no connection with the DOH. However, I am a registered patient and have other family members on the program as well. I have made it a priority to know the rules of the program to keep other members of my family out of trouble. We have to play by the rules or lose the program. One family member has been in the program since 2007 and I am the one who got his paperwork submitted for him. He would have staid out of the program all together if I hadn't insisted. Why do something illegally if you can do it legally? Yes, it costs more in $, but at least in the state, he is safer.

I am an accountant and I do work closely with one of the producers. So most of my posts deal with the business aspects. I cannot sit quietly on the sidelines when I see erroneous postings. There are new patients who come to this site for help. If we post incorrect information, or attack people for what they post, the new patients could possibly decide playing by the rules is too much hassle and continue to obtain their medicine illegally and from unknown sources.

Medicinal grade cannabis (controlled growing environment, organic nutrients, etc.) is safer than MOST of what is available on the street. I don't know how many times I have asked my family member who continues to buy on the street what the strain is he just purchased and his reply is "I don't know, but it's good stuff". Oh, and he paid $20/gram when the local LNPP has it for much less. Go figure.

So, in closing, I do not post to harm anyone...simply to help. I believe the DOH is doing a great job considering. And, as I stated in another post, yes, I believe the law suit is harming the program. It may be coincidental, but ever since the lawsuit, patient applications have crawled through the process. One family member is still waiting on his card and his app was sent in July. Not as long as some of the others but it's frustrating. And now the staff has to also help with the LNPP renewals so that is going to take time away from the patients temporarily. I sincerely hope all the patients will get their cards soon.

Have a great day!
