Re: Hollywood Club: RAIDED!

Well, on the one hand, it's not good for medical marijuana when medical marijuana dispensaries don’t follow the law. If they were selling to non patients, if they were selling more than 8 ounces to a single individual, if they sold more plants than legal to an individual....well, they are breaking the law and therefore are accepting the risks of arrest in my opinion.
The club I go to now is very strict about conforming to the law. Before I ever got let into the inner sanctum, I had to show my original doctors note and California ID. They verified me by calling my doctor and confirming I was who I said I was and that I was a current patient with a current recommendation. They DENIED my friend, when I went with him one time, who is ALSO a legal medical MJ patient, because the doctor wasn’t in that day. So even with a legit note, he STILL wasn’t allowed inside until it could be 100% CONFIRMED that he was a legal patient! TO me that is RESPONSIBLE, and makes me feel protected because I know my club doesn’t fool around. They have strict policies on how many people can be in certain places at a time, and other security measures (Of which I don’t want to mention because I don’t want to compromise them in any way, but take my word for it, the guards are super nice, but they mean business and tell you the rules straight off) that ensure compliance within the law!
I feel bad for The Yellow House patients, as now they may have to drive longer distances and pay more in gas prices to get their medicine, of which a specific type that could be found at YH may not be found at a different place. But I must think positively and hope that the other clubs see this as a warning and straighten out their policies and security measures so they can strictly control and confirm who legally enters to buy medical marijuana.
