I just got off the phone with an attorney who is representing one of my patients because local law enforcement raided his property where he was cultivating for personal use with one other patient and is being charged a bunch of crimes. She was pretty shocked about how willing I was to come down to San Diego and testify on his behalf. I told her it was a no-brainer. I have all the documentation including his medical records and can easily explain to the court why he qualifies as a legal patient. I asked her if she has had any issues with doctors coming to testify on behalf of her clients and she replied “the last case I had the doctor REFUSED to come and testify and when we ultimately sent him a subpoena he said he had medical issues and COULD NOT COME TO COURT”
THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT THE DOCTOR AND CLINIC (WHO I WILL NOT NAME) ADVERTISE THAT THEY HAVE AN ATTORNEY PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR THEIR PATIENT AND THAT THEY ARE THE MOST RESPECTED CLINIC IN CALIFORNIA!!!! They have a significant online presence and their clinic is located on 17th Street in Santa Ana.
I REALLY want to stress that you need to pick the physician that gives you your recommendation wisely. Personally I demand all my patients have medical records just for instances such as this. I can easily and willingly demonstrate to any court my reasoning for recommending medical marijuana and will have all my ducks in a row come time to testify. These other “fly by night” clinics that offer recs for $42 are here today and gone tomorrow. YOU WILL HAVE NO REPRESENTATION IN THE EVENT YOU NEED HELP.
I can not stress enough as California works out their medical marijuana laws that you find a reputable clinic like Medical Cannabis of Southern California to receive your recommendation. The last thing you want is to have to defend your recommendation in court without your doctor testifying on your behalf.
I take GREAT pride in how I take care of and represent my patients. We dot every “i” and cross every “t”. We do everything according to the letter of the law. When this case is over I will have my patient blog about his experience as being one of my patients. I can assure you he will be happy that he came to see me and not the doctor with the FANCY ATTORNEY PROTECTION PLAN.
Be blessed,
Dr. Breen
