Really? I thought that the program recognized medical use from out of state card holders?BTW the "reciprocal state" status advertised and utilized by High Times here last month is part of this legislation (HB4271), not current MMMA law
(j) A registry identification card, or its equivalent, that is issued under the laws of another state, district, territory, commonwealth, or insular possession of the United States that allows the medical use of marihuana by a visiting qualifying patient, or to allow a person to assist with a visiting qualifying patient's medical use of marihuana, shall have the same force and effect as a registry identification card issued by the department.BTW the "reciprocal state" status advertised and utilized by High Times here last month is part of this legislation (HB4271), not current MMMA law
Only Section 8, or the affirmative defense to criminal prosecution, is granted in MMMA. It is deducible through language (aka legal opinion) via the patient doctor relationship not given state limits. Although, I've never seen "uninterrupted supply" of sec 8 trump the limits referred to in sec 4 yet
Has this been tested in the courts yet?
Not to my knowledge. I believe a few "uninterrupted supply" claims have been dismissed out of hand early on in the secretive legal process
muy interesante!Not to my knowledge. I am believe a few "uninterrupted supply" have been dismissed out of hand early on in the legal process
In the end our "justice system" is a simple economic market. With a plug and play pot lawyer defense going for 8k per plea and 30-40k for a trial, there is no room nor funds for "non conventional" defenses, no less civil accountability to provide The People with reasonable precedent or justice. Sadly the justice we receive today is all we can afford and this HB4271 really drives that home. No corporation nor their lawyers would find our caregiver patient business relationship acceptable, so they have our lawmakers draw them up something wholly different and separate, yet cannot exist without the others that remain under exploit of MMMA legal opinions and criminal prosecution
And there is that (MMMA sec 4 (j)) ...
I thought the issue with out of state residents came down to not having true legal access if there are no legal patient to patient transfers and caregivers can only supply for their state registered patients.
Exactly, for now it only creates wholly new and separate rights for these newly created entries as their business model is codified/justified by state law.
HB4271 uses/relies on our current industries term "overages", of which it codifies in law.
what overages lol
Sadly, not explicitly granting rights of "violations" by civil fines (5k & 1k maxes) via regulatory inspections, criminal prosecution via raids is still on the table and unimpeded as it relates to caregivers and patients (MMMA) ...
