Curiosity poll

[Colodonmed]

I am curious as to how many patients REALLY are willing to continue shopping at MMC's and to re-register when their privacy is no longer protected. I for one will not ever step foot into another dispensary / center if I am being videotaped through the whole transaction. This sucks as their are some good centers that seem to care a little about their patients, I hope they pony up and get their lobby crews working overtime so that the patients can feel good about their privacy again. Till then it is a big NO for me.

They can have it all to them selfs.I will not be back in one.I may not even send my 90 dollars to the state.

Which particular dispensaries are you talking about and where are they.

To me just getting my medical license puts me on the list. I resisted until the helicopters hovered over my plants and you could see the faces of the people in the chopper counting my plants. I got a license the next day. Now I am on the list even if I never go to a dispensary. I have gone to several dispensaries mainly to get clones and occasionally try new strains. It is pretty hard to come by quality clones in your chosen variety without going to a dispensary. I trade clones with a couple of my friends but that is a very small circle and does not provide that many strains.

The law being proposed here Rudy will have you as a patient videotaped from the time you approach the door of the center, the complete shopping experience as well as your purchase quantity, your identification card and your medical marijuana certificate. Then that information has to also be made available 24 hrs a day to the marijuana police at the department of revenue. They can aslo view it in real time. This is not acceptable to me and many other patients I have spoken to, that is why I posted the thread. Good luck to you in California, it is very different out here in Colorado.

Although I'd prefer not to be taped, I will re-register (just did a few months ago) and will continue to shop at MMCs.

Where do you go that doesn't have cameras?

You think becouse they have security camras in walmart that this kind of intrusion is ok?By the way most every store I shop at does not

You try to smooth it over as no big deal.Well to us that have been using cannabis as long as you have been alive or longer it is a big deal.

[rudy2010]

Northern California. I am sure places like Harborside in Oakland and Organicann in Santa Rosa would be likely to have cameras. But there are a number of small dispensaries that clearly have no cameras. I don't want to start naming them but if you ask about a particular area I will try to help.

I still have to go to the Nazi superstore locations to find the strains I am looking for. I hate them but I still go there anyway since there is really no alternative.

I understand people want their privacy. I value my own privacy, even during the internet/technology age where everything we do leaves a trace. But if you have a red card, the cat's already out of the bag, bro. The state knows you smoke, the city knows you smoke, the federal government may know you smoke. Every single dispensary I've been in the past 6 months has cameras. If its a big deal to you, just quit going to MMC's. Its not like they have cameras watching you take a dump in the bathroom.

If you actually think that somebody down at the DOR is watching every single minute of every day of every MMC in the state...you'd be kidding yourself and you might be a little narcissistic. They don't have the manpower to monitor 125,000 patients in the state. They'll be too busy writing and integrating laws for the next few years.

Thats the whole basis for this thread, to see how folks thought about continuing to shop at mmc's while the whole experience is being filmed and recorded. I do not think that the DOR will be monitoring everything, but the fact is they COULD if they so choose. Also, they only folks that " know " you have a redcard is you, your Dr., the CDPHE and whomever YOU decide to share that information with. It should remain confidential, thats it.
