It is illegal to transport over state lines. There is some reciprocity with medical marijuana recommendations, for instance if you have a CA rec you can purchase marijuana with that when in Nevada. The answer to your question is that if you are in CA at the time you can not purchase your product unless you are within the state of Oregon.\n\nHope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11406-markdown","title":"If Foria Pleasure is purchased in California, is it legal to take on a plane to Oregon?","slug":"if-foria-pleasure-is-purchased-in-california-is-it-legal-to-take-on-a-plane-to-oregon","content":"\n_____________________\nSince airport space and the plane itself is regulated Federally where cannabis and its related products are classified as a Schedule 1 drug, they are illegal to have there.

The local police can then choose to ignore the issue, confiscate the product or arrest you. The later probably not likely. \n\nSince transportation of cannabis across state lines is illegal, and Foria products are not sold in Oregon, there is possibility of a an issue if it is found in Oregon. This is just a matter of how and where you use it as well as who you tell about it.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11342-markdown","title":"I am 78 years old and suffer from chronic headaches, nausea, and neuropathy in my feet.

I live in Northern California but  will be in Palo Alto the end of next week.\"\n_____________________\nI'm sorry to hear that you are suffering so much. I am not a doctor but I am part of HelloMD and we are so glad you chose our service. At HelloMD we do not offer personalized consultations for product recommendations at the moment, past our initial consult. You have asked your question on the Le Shoppe business listing, which has a location in Palo Alto. However, they are delivery only.\n\nIt sounds as if you need a personalized approach. Two suggestions:\n\nFirst, if you are located in or around Santa Rosa, you can see one of HelloMD's favorite doctors, Dr Sharon Olson. If you look within our Trust Pilot reviews you will see how much patients appreciate her advice. You can also check out all of her answers here to see her approach:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/people/DrOlson\n\nAnother option is to have a consultation with GreenHealth Consulting, which is run by a woman named Eloise Theisen. She consults with individuals to help them find the best approach for their condition. Given your age and your condition finding the right product and dosage is critical!  Here is an article I wrote about Eloise:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/medical-cannabis-counseling-helping-dementia-and-cancer-patients-find-relief\n\nThe other option is to go to a dispensary storefront and speak to the staff. If you choose this route, i would go to a dispensary that has a lot of familiarity with medical consumers. The most well known dispensary in all of California is called Harborside. They are located in the East Bay and have a knowledgeable staff.\n\nThis answer represents my opinion and I am not a doctor, but I hope this helps you.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI am a physician doing Integrated or Functional medicine and I do offer private services in Northern California since I am based in the Santa Rosa area if you need more personalized care. I do work for HelloMD but our consultation, if you see me locally, will be outside the HelloMD business. I work with a couple other doctors doing consultations for people using cannabis who need additional help with their medicines. The office is listed under Dr Hulter in Santa Rosa at 3806 Sebastopol Ave.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11338-markdown","title":"Does the Alta California Spasm tincture really help with muscle spasms?

You can use your out of state ID, or your passport as ID.\n\nNot every dispensary will serve you without a CA ID, however there are others that will, and some that will accept some other form of ID like a lease or utility bill from CA. You could also try a delivery service, since they are usually more flexible about out of state ID's.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nYes, if you qualify once you have had your interview with one of our physicians but technically you should not transport cannabis outside of California.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nContrary to popular belief, you do not need to be a CA resident, nor do you need to have a CA ID. As long as you are physically in CA at the time of your video consultation, CA law permits you to use HelloMD's doctor service. Although CA law does not require you to be a CA resident to obtain a medical marijuana recommendation or purchase from a dispensary, you'll find that many dispensaries/delivery services have their own requirements about who they choose to admit to their collective. You'll need to check directly with them to see if they only admit CA residents.\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nThe HelloMD recommendation is currently only available to people located in CA at the time of the medical consultation. Note that you don't have to be a resident of CA, you just need to be in CA when the doctors consultation happens.\n\nThere are other states that will accept the HelloMD recommendation (like Nevada) because they have specific reciprocity laws that allow for this. However, I don' think this is the case for Connecticut, but you should do your own research on this.\n\nWe do plan to provide service to all states where medical marijuana laws are in effect, but it will take us a little time to roll this out state by state, as each is different. In the meantime, we encourage you to use the Answers Service to connect with our group of doctors, and get your medical questions answered if you have any. \n\nIf you do visit CA and would like to get a recommendation while you are here, we can certainly help you with that, but it will likely not be acceptable in Connecticut (again, do you own research on this). \n\nI hope that helps.\n\n\nmark\n_____________________\nThere are 25 states which have passed measures to allow the medical use of marijuana. Unfortunately, Kansas is not one of them at this time. \n\nBoth the senate and the house introduced a bill which would enable the compassionate use of marijuana. These bills were passed on to the Committee on Health and Human Services on January 12, 2015, but died when they failed to advance by the crossover deadline on February 26, 2016. \n\nBoth bills have been carried over for reconsideration sometime in 2016.\n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nNo you do not. \n\nHowever, you do need to be located in CA at the time of the consultation. Also, many dispensaries will ask you to show some form of CA residence, whereas delivery services may be more flexible. \n\nThere is nothing in CA law that requires you to be a resident, but many follow this rule anyway.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nYou can receive a evaluation, and if appropriate, a California recommendation without being a resident of California. For HelloMD we require some government issued ID to be shown when visiting our customer service personnel. \nHowever, some dispensaries require a California ID to sell you cannabis showing you are a California resident. All of our partner companies will accept the HelloMD recommendation and you will not have this issue if you use them.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nYes, there is nothing in law that requires you to be a CA resident or to have a CA ID to obtain a CA medical cannabis recommendation. However, you must be physically in CA at the time of your consultation in order to qualify.

You are able to obtain a recommendation if you are physically in California at the time that you have your medical evaluation. All that we require is a photo ID.\n\nHere is link: :http://www.eastbayexpress.com/LegalizationNation/archives/2015/01/28/why-any-patient-can-go-get-medical-marijuana-in-california-right-now\n\n\nHowever, some dispensaries are not aware of this and have their own rules that require you to be a resident, show a California Drivers License, utility bill, etc that show you are a resident. I would call the dispensary that you are going to visit to ask if thaey follow the law or just create their own rules. You can also visit one of our partners that follow the same requirements that HelloMD does.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nThere are some dispensaries that will accept an out-of-state ID, but they are few and far between. Typically delivery services are more flexible with this rule.\n\nIt is the opinion of some in the legal profession that there is no such legal requirement (that you are a resident) in order to visit a dispensary. \n\nFrom the text of the law - 215:\n\n\"(A) To ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.\"\n\nThe question is, what is meant by the word 'Californian's\"? This word does not specifically require that you be a resident of the state (in some lawyers opinions).\n\nHowever, it has become common wisdom that this is the case, and so dispensaries follow each other in requiring a CA ID. \n\nNote that HelloMD does not require you have have a CA ID to use our service, only that you be physically located in the state of CA when you have your consultation with a doctor.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nThere is nothing in CA law that requires you to be a CA resident or have a CA ID in order to obtain a medical marijuana recommendation; the same goes for purchasing cannabis from a dispensary. That said, you've probably already experienced that dispensaries/delivery services have their own rules as to what they choose to accept. I would suggest going to 'Biz Listings' at the top of this website (or go to 'Dispensaries' if you're using the HelloMD iPhone app) and search for dispensaries/delivery services in your area. From there, you can call a few local to you and see which will be ok with your out-of-state ID. Generally, delivery services are more flexible that storefront dispensaries.\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nOur interpretation of the law is that you just have to be physically located in California at the time of the evaluation.  All of the partners that you find on HelloMD however, agree with us and I would encourage you to you those.There are some dispensaries who disagree and ask for some identification showing CA residency. I would contact the dispensary that you are going to visit to make sure of their poilicy.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nHi there!\n\nPlease keep in mind that there is nothing written in Prop 215 law that requires medicinal marijuana patients to be a resident of California.  \n\nAs long as you have a valid and non-expired government-issued ID - such as a driver's license, identification card, passport or military ID card, you should be granted access into a California dispensary, assuming the name on your recommendation and your ID are identical.\n\nHowever, please note that dispensaries are considered private companies. This means, they can request that you provide a proof of residency for California. Again, there is no legal obligation to do this, but dispensaries are allowed to request this if they should choose!\n\nIf you visit a California dispensary and they request a California driver's license or proof of residency that you do not have available, please try using a delivery service! Delivery services are often very accommodating if you do not have proof of residency available. I would also suggest calling a few dispensaries in the area you're visiting to see if they will require a proof of residency along with your California medical marijuana card. I know of a few dispensaries in my area that are very welcoming of visitors!\n\nI hope this information helps! :-) \n\nVeronicaB\n_____________________\nEvery time I've been to a dispensary, they asked for ID, but I think they were mostly concerned about age or marketing info.  Way less sketchy now that recreational purchases are legal in California!\n\nI am informed that California does NOT require residency to obtain a medical cannabis card, but some dispensaries may vary.\n\nI also found a cool article that details the types of dispensaries you might find, and their pros and cons!\n\natkanesh","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11080-markdown","title":"What will happen to the marijuana industry in California after the REC. law passes in November?","slug":"what-will-happen-to-the-marijuana-industry-in-california-after-the-rec-law-passes-in-november","content":"\"How will existing business adapt to the change? What will be the effects on this growing industry both positive and negative?\"\n_____________________\nIf passed, the measure would create a new Bureau of Marijuana Control, require growers and sellers to pay taxes, and establish stiff penalties for anyone caught illegally diverting water, an aspect popular with environmentalists. It would tighten the state’s comparatively lax medical marijuana system and bar use by anyone younger than 21.\n\nThe measure allows adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana at a time and grow six plants without needing a license. It also would bar public consumption, require quality and contamination testing, and grant business licensing priority to recognized medical marijuana producers. Giving preference to established medical marijuana industry players means they'll get a jumpstart on their competition.\n\nThe stakes are huge. Experts say legal marijuana could be worth billions for California, not just through taxes, but through a new network of licensed cultivation, distribution and testing facilities, all of which will need employees, construction workers and equipment. Nationwide, by 2020, adult use and medical marijuana sales are expected to reach nearly $23 billion, triple this year, based in part on California's legalization.\n\n(Trevor Hughes, USA TODAY 5:46 p.m. EDT May 4, 2016)\n\ndrpinto","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11023-markdown","title":"With my marijuana card in California, what can I purchase?","slug":"with-my-marijuana-card-in-california-what-can-i-purchase","content":"\n_____________________\nA Medical Marijuana Recommendation allows you legal access to collectives, dispensaries and delivery services.
