Important: Smoking is not allowed in moving vehicles - which includes cars and boats.  If you need to transport the medical cannabis, do so by putting it in the trunk or away from the driver in the very back of the car if there is no trunk.  Smoking while driving is dangerous.

Join Norml and ASA(Americans for Safe Access) to help support the changes that California has made in the law regarding medical cannabis use.  This law, or issues surrounding it, are constantly being challenged. Without these agencies and many others like them, there would not be any effort to help maintain the functionality of the law.

What to Bring

First and foremost, you must bring in some  picture ID  to help establish your identity.

Secondly, you will need to bring in some recent doctor's notes that  both document your chronic condition and your ongoing care by a clinician. Records from a  doctor of chiropractor or a  medical doctor will be of help. This  requirement is needed because it is specified by the Medical Board that we have these records. Also, they are needed for us  to adequately evaluate your condition.

We understand that obtaining these records can be difficult or confusing, and, judging by what we see, you will probably need help with this process.  This is where our front office can help.  Please call and see how this process is done and, if necessary, have the records sent here first so we can prescreen your qualifications to avoid problems.  There are forms on our website ( see below) that are designed to help with this issue ( the "how to obtain medical records" and "medical record's release form"). 

A good example of the type of records needed is a copy of  the doctor's soap notes (the office will know what this means) preferably notes which show the severity of the problem and demonstrate how long you've had the problem and how the diagnosis was reached.

If you cannot get the records, a letter demonstrating the above would suffice. There need not be any mention of the fact that it is being used for a cannabis evaluation. 

Remember that the above requirements are specified by the Medical Board and, unfortunately, just the obvious presence of a disease is not enough to fulfill this requirement. This visit will be a consultation and as such it must be accompanied by records  for us to review.
 

The following forms are used in our office and will be needed for an appointment. You may download these forms, fill them out and bring them with you for your visit. This will help reduce your wait time.
 
Remember that we will schedule an actual visit time for you and that we do not "wave"( schedule many at once) schedule. Being on time is a great help in keeping on schedule for all others involved.
 
Thanks, and remember to call for clarification on any elements of this page.
