The people running these places have gotten shadier and shadier

Anything to get rid of the scammers and dirtbags

Well I like the idea of testing for pesticides and mold. Should be able to get organic certification. What bothers me is this is sponsored by the police chiefs association. They really don`t have consumers best interests at hart now do they? Seems like just an other end trip against MMJ to me! Regulation never is helpful over freedom !

I agree MC their going way to far. I for one like it the way it is Wild Wild West.

IMO the dr. rec's will be the biggest sticking point. Most peoples regular doctors aren't gonna write scripts. They will be alot tougher to get and if dr's have to go through an audit after the first 100 they aren't gonna be so quick to give them out even if they are sympathetic.

None of the primary care doctors will give out recommendations because they give up the federal license to dispense narcotics when they do that! This limits the drug prescriptions for some very sick people and for those who have broken bones to thoughts who have had operations and are on the mend. No primary care doctor would limit their ability to help patients under their care like that. Then you have the legislators who would be in charge of who qualifies for MMJ treatment instead of specialists and they would also be able to limit the specialists, also cutting down mmj usages. The whole reason behind this is to slow the flow of mmj in the state and make money off the sick people who do qualify. It`s and end game. Just more control freaks!

And doctors are not already given substance abuse training in school? I`d think that would already be part of training to become a doctor! This is pure krap!

We could fight this but it would still leave way to many people who are in charge to keep messing with us. I`m thinking we need to require by law that all LEO, lawmakers be required to get a certified class in Cannabis wariness and sensitivity as a job requirement!

Thinking about it more not only should all public employees and elected officials be required to PASS this course but it should be a of the requirements to pass 6th grade! I`d like to see the study course manual a reworked version of The Emperor has no clothing by Jack Herer made as a study course.

I'm not so certain about that. E.G. Our county's public health director is also a primary care physician (or, as they were called in the old days, a general practitioner) who still has an active practice. He does have some very sick, terminal patients for whom he writes recommendations. He will not write for pain or anything non-terminal. He's still able to write any Rx for his patients as well.

That said, many doctors are ignorant of what can and cannot be done legally, and my own recommending doctor focuses only on recommendations and no scrips in order to avoid trouble. He fully believes in cannabis as medicine, too, absolutely enthusiastic about it, and personally I think THAT is what Joe Public would like to see happening rather than the cheap pot docs a la Medi-Cann, who are likely really just "Hollywood" docs (the docs you get sent to after you lawyer up post-accident, many of these docs are just piss poor doctors, IMO/IME).

Specialties, and you've only got 12yrs to get your basic medical degree. After that, you specialize, and that's anywhere from 2-4 years additional training (for anyone who wonders why they're paid so much, etc, consider just the schooling, then add to that malpractice premiums which are typically equal to an excellent annual salary). They can only stuff so much in, ya dig?
