BubbleFunker - your experience appears to be the minority - there are doctors who advertise in JEMM, West Coast Cannabis and other MMJ related periodicals every month that have a separate rate advertised for a renewal rather than a new-patient price. I, myself have looked into changing doctors, and every one I looked at offered the same price for a rewnewal regardless of where the initial recommendation came from.

The other thing about your renewal, if you let it lapse, you won't be allowed to set foot in a club or dispensary, until you have it renewed.
