Red Card renewal

[chickenman]

My current card expires 12/8/11. I got my paperwork all set to send in is it too early? How long is appl good for?

snagged this from the State site

•RENEWING:
◦Applicants wishing to renew their registry cards are required to send in their renewal application no sooner than 60 days before the EXPIRATION DATE ON THEIR CARD. Applications received prior to this 60 day window will be considered a duplicate application, the applicant’s payment will be cashed, and we will then require another $90.00 fee when renewing within the accepted time frame of within 60 days of the applicants current registry card’s expiration. We require a new application page, physician certification, $90 fee and copies of patient ID and/or caregiver ID for renewal. ID is not currently required if choosing a medical marijuana center as your provider.


I also see that the fee may go from $90 annually to $35. (We paid $110 per year before it went to $90)

hope dat helps

funny how the state site can answer most of your basic questions with one simple searCH

 

[eyecandi]

FYI .... MMED is saying they will be lowering renewal fees from $90 to $35, so keep an eye out and save $$ if you can. also, they are implementing an indigent program for reduced/no fees.

why is it we send all this money to the state and we cant even get law/reg letters in the mail to remind us of each and every old/new or proposed law etc. how are people supposed to keep record of all that has happen from day one of amend0 till now. i get letters to renew my car reg or my state drivers license so why not letters for med card holders..being it is still fed illegal you would think they would want to keep the fine line in print and send it to us all to try atleast keep us out of harms way..being they have our money and all. some many people are clueless to what is going on in the scene and then they wonder why so many are in violation :rasta2:

Why renew? Protect your rights and only get your recommendation. Fuck sending anything into the state.

Ya know i think your right. If one is not a stupid ass and just grows a reasonable amount should be fine.....

The last time they dropped the cost of the annual renewal (2006?) all patients were sent a letter informing them that the cost had been decreased. Dunno how they will do it this time, but with 150K patients on the Registry it's certainly time for another price drop.

Gotta say I'm waitin' to see how that approach (no card) works for folks when they show up at their grow site. Having a card(s) saved >my< ass once.... I'm not chancing it again without one, especially because I plan to retain my caregiverships and keep right on truckin'

be safe, all

Recommendation is as good as a card SH. Thats why for the longest all you needed was a rec to get into dispensaries, get meds, possess meds, etc... its the guise you need to pay for a card. And why would they come knocking if they don't know you grow. Being on the registry- especially as a caregiver- is the way to ask for a visit. If you are smart and smell free, none are the wiser and again the MEDICAL rec is what matters- especially in court.

TK has said it over and again, he has had the knock and visit and paperwork/ recommendation works just fine. The important thing is the valid, up to date recommendation- not the red card.

And i sure as shit would not stay listed as a caregiver- to me thats asking for a visit to make sure your caregiver spot is up to code/spec/bla bla. I'll pass and take care of my own medical needs as a patient with valid medical paperwork and recommendation on hand.

I can't hide, bro. The local yocals know where I live and that I grow because they've been here before. Not gonna register any address here. Don't have to for under 5 patients. There are no codes to worry about and 36 is AOK up here... I made sure of it with a lawyer who charges $325 an hour and who has an in. They don't want a lawsuit over State Law and something they have no jurisdiction over. If they had a leg to stand on they wouldn't have backed down from restricting it to 1 card per residence.

Can't see anywhere on A20 where it gives you a medical designation without 'authorization' ...which means buying that red card. But hey..what do I know?

you may be alright with 3/3 and no card...but not with what most of ya are doin...LOL

not takin the chance here. i've seen the card work. they are gonna be too focused bustin the centers and the other licensed clowns to fuck with folks growin for themselves. LOL

been there. done that

Actually the actual medical rec is what holds up. The registry is just that- a registry. Don't care what ya heard. Its that way in any med state when it comes to court- valid medical records and necessity to medicine- and a good lawyer to connect the dots.

And from all the hoopla, it still comes across to me if you are caregiving period- you'll eventually need to register. I'll pass. Don't think its just under 5 bro, thought that was covered in the other thread. The 5/36 is just the supposed max for registered caregivers at a grow that must be registered. Have you seen the new registry renewal forms? They require you to put an address even if you are growing for yourself...and you "must" clarify if you are growing for yourself. Seperate boxes for being a patient, having a caregiver, choosing a dispensary and/or being a patient who grows for oneself.

And honestly, don't know how you can deny what TK has been saying from recent experience (check other thread where he discusses visits and having valid medical paperwork/rec).

Things will start to change because of rights and open registry. Many other states are already trying to implement the fact that patients only need a valid rec and that registries are unsafe for patients and constitutional rights. You may not drive around the city much, but I'd also prefer to keep my name off of something that LEO may be able to pull up on a dime when checking plates, stops or whatever... i tend to stay away from things that violate my constitutional rights to my medical privacy.

Sounds like you have a plan, bro. Much luck.

 

[true grit]

Its not a plan, its more realistic and safe to whats actually going on. especially compared to telling people being on the registry is gonna be a good thing or safe way to go. its not.

 

[sky high]

Like I say...much luck, bro. Hopefully folks reading along will contact their attorneys for legal advice before proceeding either way.

I noticed on the new renewal form it only requires the "Mailing Address". On Both my Id and my application the address will only lead them to a UPS store. Unless there is another form coming for caregivers to fill out for the physical address of the grow, I dont see what the big deal is. Maybe Im missing something

 

[sky high]

Yer obviously missing a few houses full of plants, gettogro.

Anyone who is worrying about being on the Registry is obviously growing above and beyond what the law allows..which is 3/3 per card.

 

[GhostFace]

sky: you meen as a single patient we cant have 60 plants ? lol i thought it said 30/30 not 3/3 :rasta2:

... i tend to stay away from things that violate my constitutional rights to my medical privacy.

We need new sticky for Colorado rules. Is there any such thing as confidentiality anymore, for the patient or a caregiver? Or will anyone even know until the courts get involved?

All these law abiding super society concious stoners trip me out. The government that governs least is the one that governs best for me. My ancestors have used MJ as a MEDICINE for more than 10k years. No bs racist law of a Babylon based Illuminatti can tell me how n what I'll use to ease my pains. Let alone whats grows n my garden.

If that means a tyrant raps me n chains n cages me well then thats my unfortunate consequence of a NAZI republic I guess. Just because a law is a law by no means is it just. An unjust law imo is no law at all and my duty to be disobey it. I got a Drs rec taped to my fridge to cover my butt cuz I'm old but I feel guilty even for that like its selling out to some cop out. I don't think anyone with any amount of MJ growing anywhere that a government has on paper is a bit safe at all. Until the feds legalize it sorry but every person registered is a duck in a barrel. Now rather or not they'll want to shoot every lil'tiny duck, I doubt it. But if you issue is safety, I question just who is SAFE. no one



Peace
