Article 1. I am a qualified patient entitled to the protection of California Health and Safety Code section 11362.5, et seq., because my physician has recommended/approved my use of cannabis for medical purposes.

Article 2. My physician has determined that I suffer from a serious medical condition for which medical cannabis provides relief and has provided a written recommendation that verifies this fact. As a condition of membership, I have provided a copy of such recommendation to the Collective, as well as a copy of my current California Drivers License or other recognized form of state issued identification. I understand that the Collective will keep a copy of these documents on file and will independently verify with my physician my medical recommendation that forms the basis of my right to be considered a qualified patient under California law.

Article 3. In order to acquire the medicine my physician recommends, and in accordance with Health and Safety Code § 11362.5, et seq., I hereby seek membership in the Collective and understand that in order to be a member of the Collective, and to maintain my membership in the Collective, I must agree to, and follow all terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.

Article 4. I agree to provide the Collective with my current medical recommendation.

I understand that any member whose medical recommendation is expired shall be excluded from membership until such time that their qualified status pursuant to the Compassionate Use Act can be verified.

Article 5. I understand that as a member of the Collective, I must inform the collective of the specific strain(s) of medical marijuana I need and to which I am entitled and, to that end, I agree to assist, if necessary, in any aspect of the cultivation process including, but not limited to, cutting clones, trimming, and/or reimbursing actual costs incurred. I also understand that I may be called upon to contribute finances, labor and/or resources to the Collective. Such contributions are necessary to REIMBURSE THE OVERHEAD and to cultivate my medical cannabis, as well as to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Collective for the benefit of its members.

Article 9. I agree and understand that all medicine obtained is for medical use only and may not be diverted for non-medical use or for use by a non-member of the Collective.

I understand that the Collective may maintain records of my medical use in order to demonstrate compliance with the Compassionate Use Act, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, the Attorney General Guidelines, or any local ordinance, and, further, that the Collective will take all legal steps necessary to keep such records private and confidential, subject to the need of the Collective to use such records to defend itself and establish that the conduct of the Collective and its members did not violate the law.
