Can I get rid of my medical card?

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by HBmonster, Nov 2, 2011.

  1. I know it sounds crazy but can I like call my doctor and tell him I don't need it any more? I'm about over this and I live in california so pretty much everyone of my friends has one.. Is there a way to do this? And would it be on my medical records still?
     
  2. No they're going to force the THC into your body :p

    Just tell your doctor you don't want it any more. You feel fine. I think it'll stay on your record; you may be able to get the doctor to erase it from your file if you ask nicely..
     
  3. Just don't renew it and let your doctor know about your change in medications like you normally would. Why would you want them to redact your records, though? Medical records are confidential and protected by federal law, so it's not like anyone's going to find out or even care to look. Medical records are personal and you can have them redacted, though. Just ask your doctor about how to go about doing it.
     
  4. I have to join the military ): College is way to expensive for me to pay with and it's kind of a family thing to do. And I basically could get a better job when I exit and have a nice wad o' cash.. Are you sure I could do that? I thought medical records were fairly permanent...
     

  5. You do not HAVE TO join the military...military service tradition doesn't include killing people for corporate profits, it does include honor, loyalty and being a patriot...none of which apply to the use of the military by DC today.

    Recruiters can and will lie to get you to sign up....they need meat shields.
    You will serve time on a front line war zone killing or being killed over a profit margin for corporate owners....not protecting the USA in any way shape or form.

    In the 6-8 years the old path used to take, join, serve, get out with GI bill, go to college, graduate and get a nice paying job...that path is a scam, is dead, used to recruit the desperate.
    In the same 6-8 years on a job you can work yourself up the ladder, have training, experience, seniority...and by saving for each class first, get your degree, all in the same time frame.

    I'm a vet...and it sickens me to see what has become of the US military, reduced to attack dogs for corporate masters...
     

  6. Please don't give legal advice to someone from Cali when your from Washington.



    The only two people who ever need to know you have a card are your doctor and you. There are very strict laws in California regarding personal health information. In fact, lets say your file at the doctors office gets a subpoena, you have the choice if you want to allow it.

    One of the reasons why California's weed laws are the best in the US, is because the patients are protected. Therefore, having your medical card now doesn't mean anything to anyone, unless you tell people. But even then, as long as your not telling your boss or people you shouldn't be talking to, nobody should ever find out. Really your doctors letter is just a note so law enforcement can verify that you are a legitimate patient. They also add a number and a call service, thus making it easier for law enforcement to verify patients. Really though, all that matters is that a doctor verbally recommended you. That is all that matters.


    So now to your question OP, why would you get rid of this card?

    In Cali it doesn't go on your record and the letter means nothing. Just keep your card in your room, and then stop going to clubs. If you keep smoking you should always keep your card just for the legal protection (everyone has police encounters eventually if you smoke not just at your property).
     
  7. You don't know what you possess. Until you lose it. But I don't know what I don't have. Until I get it.
     
  8. I'm trying to buy a handgun in california and I guess you can't purchase one if you're a marijuana patient. I'm curious of how I can get mine removed from my record as well..

    This is the reason I never pursued a MMJ card --- if you like to play with firearms, a MMJ card has the potential to screw alot of things up... Its bad enuff to lie about on the forms, but leaving a paper trail for them is just silly...




    Edit: dammit ---- just saw that this is a old ass thread - sorry GC...
     
  10. Wow yes it is and I was reading it
    Thanks
     


  11. I just can not believe how fucked up that is
    They let some drunk buy a gun and think they are less likely to shoot the place up over a cannabis smoker
    How Sad.
    I never saw a mean cannabis user yet.
    bunch of Dumbasses

    Yeah - when you are filling out the paperwork when buying a firearm or applying for concealed permit, one of the questions is 'do you use illegal drugs' ---- so even in REC states, the feds don't recognize it and it is grounds for refusal. A card means there is paperwork somewhere that the feds can (may) have access to.... not good if you want to buy or carry firearms. All I can say is there are alot of people committing perjury....


    Funny how they don't ask if you are seeing a psychiatrist or taking anti depressants....


    Edit: and think about it --- if you use your MMJ card in a 'get out of jail free' scenario --- that will be recorded in a police report that is available to other agencies. I'm happy I'm in a REC state so I don't have to worry about possession issues!
