Will Being A Mm Patient Keep Me From Getting My Rda?

[nfitzy]

I am about to graduate from college and sit for state board exams to become a registered dental assistant. Even if I pass a drug test, will having an active medical marihuana license keep me from getting my license to practice?

Don't tell them you're a MMJ patient, only if you tell them, they won't know.

nobody will know that you have a medical marijuana card unless you tell them.

Nope.

no, lara has said that they do not compare the MMMA registry with the DR/RN/Rda registry.

 

this is the article where the head of LARA says that

this pharmacist has glaucoma and was too scared to sign up, fearing he would lose his license. well he was convicted of manf marijuana and the state law says if you are convicted of a drug crime you lose your license. so look what happened to him!

 

plenty of police, lawyers, doctors, nurses etc all have MMMP cards.

get your card , it will protect you a little bit.

 

at the v ery least, get a dr recomendation in writing. that will protect you in court, maybe.

I have my card, I have had it for 2 years. I have to apply for my RDA soon. Since its all handled by LARA, I am worried they will not give me my RDA. I am wondering if I should withdraw from the MMM program before I apply for the RDA.

patient info is confidential and they cannot use your MMMP info to check your other licenses.

 

call up lara tomorrow and ask them if you dont believe us!
