After testifying in court yesterday for a patient of mine arrested for cultivation in San Diego I can not stress enough the importance of working with a medical clinic that demands medical records.    The first thing the court did when they arrested him was to subpoena his medical file.    The judge wanted to make sure that he was a legitimate patient.    The great news for my patient was that we had HIS ENTIRE MEDICAL history intact.  Everything was done according to the letter of the law.

If you a medical marijuana patient or want to obtain a doctors recommendation make sure you make the extra effort to get ahold of your medical records.  The clinic MUST keep them on file for you.   You do not want to be in a situation where your recommendation is not valid because the doctor did not perform a face to face exam and document your illness.

Per the attorney, most doctors are not willing to take the time to show up at court and testify.  Her last case involved a doctor from MMEC (medical marijuana evaluation centers) who has this attorney protection plan…. who refused to show up to court on behalf of her client who was the patient.   She said it really hurt his case.
