Yeah, you're all good. The only people that need to worry about that shit are the ones that paid money to register with the county.i got it thru a doctor. was just curious if they have to report it to any gov't. institutions or anything. thanks for the feedback fellas!
cheers

It's rather sad that the "voluntary" program is the one that gets people on a list! The way they make it sound here in LA, is like by being part of the ID program, you're safer, but in reality you're much better off only having a rec and that little card they offer when you first sign up!Yeah, you're all good. The only people that need to worry about that shit are the ones that paid money to register with the county.
The County list is supposed to keep you good with Local LOE but you end up being on a government list. The other is just a card stating that you are a MMJ patient. It's all up to the arresting officer unfortunately.When/why would people end up on some sort of government list? What;s the difference between just getting a rec and putting yourself on the list?
Disclaimer -- this information assumes you are a CA MMJ patient.While I want to agree with the general consensus does anyone have any facts rather than speculation? Im interested in becoming a nurse and there are heavy background checks associated with this field, and I would like to know.
Not sure of the 'laws' in CA regarding the MMJ cards other than what has been posted in links in this thread so far. There has been alot of talk however about the mess they made here in CO with the MMJ registry, it could easily happen there in CA, mark my words. The state had a 'database' that was a stand alone computer not connected or networked to other systems, and the information on patients was supposed to be private and confidential according to our state constitution. With all the B.S. bills they recently passed, however, the system is now open 24/7 to LEO's and word is it was also shared with the DHS as well. HIPA? Not a chance. I ould contact someone at your CDPHE to verify all facts first! Good luck!
I'm gonna call bullshit on this. I can't think of anything more foolish than spending one's hard-earned money to add one's name to a government list of pot smokers.Most of the misinformed are scared to get the state card because they feel that they are being under the radar from the law enforcements. If they read their state laws more carefully, they will know that it will be more beneficial to get that card than it is to not.
There is no "central mmj regisrty" in Ca. Period. Anyone that says otherwise is misinformed. What there is, is a registry kept by each dispensary and it is NOT connected to any "centralized" database. Period.The only one I agree with is you. Co and Ca registry system is based on the same concept. Actually Co copycat Ca. Federal agencies have certain juristrictions to access those database due to the fact that state registry only protect within their own state laws and federal juristrictions (if they want) can trumph any state information laws given that it does not violate federal law. So to answer the topic about background checks under the state card program, most likely the patient information is protected under their state health and safety code. Most of the misinformed are scared to get the state card because they feel that they are being under the radar from the law enforcements. If they read their state laws more carefully, they will know that it will be more beneficial to get that card than it is to not. The only thing that the card cannot protect is the feds. There are certain protection under the state card that the rec card does not provide. This topic has been discussed many times before so use the search function to research more on this topic to empower and protect thy self!
Precisely, there are individual county health department registries where patients can voluntarily sign up but why would you? Assuming I did not pay with my insurance in which case the insurance co has a right to ICD9 coding info for billing purposes, if a physician in CA submits information about me to a central database that is not a mandated reporting type issue with either the public health system or the CDC I just hit the lotto.There is no "central mmj regisrty" in Ca. Period. Anyone that says otherwise is misinformed. What there is, is a registry kept by each dispensary and it is NOT connected to any "centralized" database. Period.
