Lawsuit Seeks 5052 Injunction

Lawsuit Seeks 5052 Injunction

     On July 1^st the so called Cannabis Patient Protection Act goes into effect, essentially devastating a once thriving non profit medical cannabis system in Washington State. As predicted the ill advised bill has triggered numerous lawsuits. The latest court action seeks to place an injunction on the bill going into full effect and focuses on the Marijuana Authorization Database (MAD) and its failure to protect patient privacy.

     Dr. Gregory Carter points out in his lawsuit that the MAD violates patient doctor confidentiality in that it requires the patient to divulge their medical condition to a 3^rd party. These 3^rd parties known as Marijuana Consultants will work at medically endorsed recreational cannabis shops. A likely scene is a patient discussing their very private medical conditions with a half trained bud tender standing in line with a couple frat boys heading out to party that night. The lawsuit also contends the lowering of plant counts from 15 to 4 places a restriction on the doctor patient relationship that interferes with the patients care.
