As a member, I hereby appoint and designate the Collective and their representatives (A. Shaw), as any true and lawful agents for the limited purpose of assisting me in obtaining my legally prescribed medical marijuana. I understand that this means that the Collective will be required to possess, purchase, cultivate, transport and/or distribute medical marijuana exclusively for member qualified patients or primary caregivers. Therefore, I grant the Collective’s management (A. Shaw) and other fellow members the limited authority to engage in the afore-mentioned tasks. I further agree and authorize the Collective and its members to use information relating to my status as a quailfied patient as use of such information is reasonably necessary for providing my medical marijuana for my medical bennefit as a quailfied patient.

I authorize the Collective to create and/or assign agency rights in its own name for the purpose of growing marijuana for my personal medical reasons as well as for the medical bennefit of other members of the Collective.

As a member, I understand that the Collective has other members who have joined and agreed to uphold the Collective’s rules and spirit by, among other things, signing a similar membership agreement. I hereby authorize the Collective to possess the medical marijuana as described under this agreement jointly with other members of the Collective under similar agreements. I agree that the medical marijuana possessed by the Collective is at any time the collective property of every patient who has joined the Collective, subject to the Collective’s rules and guidelines established by and for the Collective for the purpose of handling medical marijuana for the bennefit of member patients.

I agree to pay to the Collective all personal out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable compensation for services related to providing medical marijuana to me and other member/ patients.

I hereby verify that I am a resident of California and my personal medical marijuana will not be taken out of the State of California. I further verify and agree that medical marijuana shall not be shared, sold, bartered, traded, exchanged or delivered by any means to any other person for medical or other reasons. I understand that diversion of medical marijuana for non-medical purposes and/or to other individuals shall be grounds for the immediate termination of my membership. I also agree to request amounts of medicine strictly for my medical personal use at reasonably necessary intervals.

I agree to possess my original, or true and correct copy, of my physician’s recommendation, when I am on the property used by or belonging to the Collective. I understand that my failing to do so may result in the termination of membership and that verbal recommendations from physicians will not be accepted. I hereby agree to all future changes of the Collective’s policies as the laws relating to access to medical marijuana might change. I further agree to provide the Collective with all changes relating to my contact information as well as my status as a quailfied patient.

I understand and agree that adherence to the rules of the Collective is the collective responsibility of all patient members including myself. I agree that any violation of the terms of this Agreement or any other Collective member rules are grounds for the immediate termination of my membership.

I understand and agree that while medical cannabis has been authorized by both the people of the State of California and its legislature and consistently upheld by all California courts, the Federal Government persists in enforcing portions of the Controlled 2 Substances Act, which makes the possession and use of medical cannabis a federal crime. I hereby certfied that I have been advised by an authorized agent of the Collective that possession and use of marijuana for medical purposes might be grounds for prosecution under federal law.

Topical’s are a concentrated form of cannabis you apply to your skin rather than ingesting or smoking. These products are not ingested, they are a great alternative for patients wishing to benefit from the pain relieving aspect of medical cannabis use without the psycho-active effects from smoking or ingesting cannabis.  Many patients report feeling numb or tingly wherever the topical is applied and continued use has shown that there are many healthy benefits to applying cannabis products directly to the skin.

Cannabinoids and possibly other healing components of the plant are absorbed directly through the skin; the anti-inflammatory properties are outstanding, reducing recovery time from injuries and promoting healing of lesions.  Topical cannabis has also been used by my lupus patients and rheumatoid arthritis patients to increase the function of joints and decrease nodule formation.
