I've been to many many of those dispensaries for over 10 years now. I used to go to a Dr that would give you a recommendation just for giving him 100$. Then a few years later he was only charging 30$ for returning patients. Then of course it went legal for recreation and you don't need a Dr note anymore. I think if you're a minor/underage you need the Drs rec.
But if you walk into a california dispensary for recreation or medicine the one down the street from me just looks at your ID. They could have scanned a copy but I doubt it they usually just take a quick peek at your birthday make sure it's not provisional (under 21). And they don't care who you are at that point as long as you aren't underage. Cuz that will get them in trouble.
Good to know. My aim here is to get some data - are stores scanning IDs, and if so, what states, because that could have serious implications for people, if they do a background check for a gun. The articles I read about this say it's because of the Gun Control Law of 1968, which prohibits the use of pot and being a gun owner (which is fucking ridiculous 53 years later). So the concern is the DEA background check - if you say you don't use pot for the background check, and anyone has you on record for purchasing it/holding a medical card, you can't get a gun. And whatever charges the DEA throw at you for falsifying a government form, blah blah blah. Or that's what I think I understand, about this issue, I want to gather information here.
Having a medical card prohibits you from gun ownership already, though, according to federal law - but only if you tell them you have one, because it's HIPAA protected data. So I guess that's the key - don't claim to have a card to the DEA? Am I reading this right? And, I guess a concern would be getting busted for pot related charges, and them cross-indexing it with your background check? Which to me would be an unlikely scenario for most?
Trust me they aren't scanning everyone's ID to buy pot. At least in California.
I'm not a smoker/use, even though I voted to legalize it. I thought it was like liquor stores, where they swipe your ID? No? I have no idea.
