Getting back to the discussion, the new laws that go into effect Monday. Most of them were just housekeeping. The 20 day rule went to 20 'business days' rather than calendar days. Outdoor grows were defined and specific design features (attach to ground, secure with locks, not in view of neighbors, covered, etc), 2 year cards, etc. Bad thing is no felons as caregivers (with some exceptions and a 10 year sundown), and telemedicine is restricted.
Most of it is pretty straightforward. The good news is that the registry wasn't opened to LEO beyond what is already available, and there were several things that were tidied up, such as the outdoor grow issue. The 2 year cards and new conditions panel was also a major plus.
On the later note, I worked with a patient to do a new conditions request for bipolar disorder. The patient put quite a bit of work into it and produced a well referenced 300 page notebook of supporting evidence. It is being polished and prepped for presentation as we speak. I'm interested in working with someone that is just as passionate about chronic persistent anxiety and is willing to research it if there is anyone willing.
