Also, you could consider growing your own. I’m guessing if you’re registered you’re supposed to buy only in VA…but since VA and DC both decriminalize I’m not sure the ramifications of getting pulled over…how would they prove the small stash in your possession was bought in another state?). (As far as going over the border to DC or another state to buy…This may be technically illegal? Maybe a gray area? Not sure. You can also buy flower in DC if that’s your thing, they haven’t started that in VA yet but I’ve heard it’s coming soon. I know some friends who drive to DC and back since they get good stuff there. I know in DC there are multiple dispensaries that, because they can sell recreationally as well as medicinally, don’t report. But theoretically, if I were in this situation and wanted to get around it…I would consider getting MJ from a “source” that’s doesn’t report. I’m not a lawyer so don’t take this as legal advice. But I wanted to put this information out there for the few for whom it is or could be an issue. I realize that for perhaps upwards of 90% of people, this isn’t a concern. They most likely are using that data for that purpose from their perspective, it would be dumb of them not to. Because dispensaries in VA (and possibly other states I haven’t researched this) are compelled to report to the same database, that means Appriss Health has the ability to use a patient’s mmj consumption patterns (in VA and similar states) as a factor in determining the likelihood that they are abusing current or will abuse future prescriptions for controlled substances. There’s a company called Appriss Health that produces something called a Narx Report, which uses a proprietary algorithm to determine a patient’s likelihood of abusing their medications or overdosing. I did a little more research just in case I was overthinking it or being paranoid. Second, there’s a chance that I may have to relocate to a prohibition state in which providers have access to VA’s PMP data and I really don’t want to deal with the stigma of that on top of needing a controlled substance to stay employed and in a stable and healthy relationship (if the non-stimulant options worked better, I’d gladly switch). First, I have the very strong feeling that my current psychiatrist isn’t too mmj-friendly. So I checked VA DHP’s site and found this tidbit: “Virginia’s Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) is a 24/7 database containing information on dispensed controlled substances included in Schedule II, III and IV those in Schedule V for which a prescription is required naloxone, all drugs of concern, and cannabidiol oil or THC-A oil dispensed by a pharmaceutical processor in Virginia.” Access to that information is shared across multiple states and freely accessible to law enforcement in Virginia (and other states, but I haven’t researched this).Īfter reading that, I started to rethink whether I should even use my card when it arrives, for two reasons. So when I learned that Virginia dispensaries report their prescriptions in the same manner as regular pharmacies, I got concerned because I know that my psychiatrist (or any doctor that I see) can look up when I last picked up a prescription for either the stimulant or the testosterone. Given those factors, I’ve become way more aware than I’d like to be about the stigma surrounding prescriptions of scheduled drugs. I’ve also had to relocate several times for work. I also am on testosterone replacement therapy for hypogonadism (something I get labs done to check every 4-6 months) and have been for over a decade. I have ADHD (was diagnosed nearly 20 years ago) and have taken a standard dosage of a stimulant for many years. Doctors and pharmacists are strongly encouraged to check said score before administering, prescribing, or dispensing certain controlled substances. Tl dr: Your prescriptions (including medical cannabis) are monitored and algorithmically “scored” by a private company contracted by the state that information (including which prescriptions you’ve had filled) is shared across state lines and also available to law enforcement.
