Once I have a medical marijuana permit, how do I get the medicine?
Each state medical marijuana law allows patients with a doctor's authorization to grow, possess and use medical marijuana. There are patient support groups in every medical marijuana state that give out or trade plants, strains and medicine. It is also legal for patients with a doctor's authorization to obtain cannabis and plants on the black market, though the person selling it is breaking the law (they probably know that), the patient is not. A list of local dispensaries and medical services who will deliver your medication will be provided to you, once your have the doctor’s recommendation. |
How can I purchase my medicine in California?
According to California State law, the only legal way for a patient to purchase to their meds is through a non-profit California corporation called a Collective. A Collective is a group of patients who form a “club” for the purpose of growing and exchanging medical cannabis among their members. Everyone must be a member of the collective and must agree to not sell or give their medical cannabis to non-members. Patients who grow their own medicine will be able to make it available to other members of the collective as well.
may be a part of several collectives and may purchase your medicine anywhere in California with the ID card and your recommendation from Serenity Medical. |
