Why full price of $ 300 for renewal with incurable diseases
Don t punish patients with expiring card and an ongoing incurable disease like Parkinson's with a $ 150 fee from a doctor who is not even the patients physician. He has also developed another cancer for which he is paying $ 2000 for the radiation. the products in dispensaries are expensive enough. Why can his physician/oncologist NOT write up the health condition and reason for a medical marijuana card yo avoid that fee? It is really unfair, just an additional income for doctors. The patient with a current card, expiring on Feb. 18 is Denis W Egan and I am his wife.

It appears the renewal charge is first and foremost a "sin tax" designed to generate revenue for the State. Seniors and those who have gone through the renewal process for several years and who have not abused the program should be exempt from further hassle and expense. After all, the State will still receive lots of revenue from the dispensaries. For some of us this is actually an effective medicine.
