Each new member participates in an hour-and-a-half long intake
session. During this session we collect detailed information
regarding conditions, symptoms, use of other medications, previous
experiences with cannabis, and other relevant information about
health and well-being. This information assists us in providing the
highest quality of service possible.
New members also receive an orientation to the club and our
services. Their rights and responsibilities within the organization
are reviewed in order to promote a safe, friendly and secure
environment, respect of our neighborhood, and smooth daily
operations.
Members must sign a consent form in which they take responsibility
for their decision to use cannabis, and agree not to redistribute
the cannabis procured by us for their own personal use.
There is also an educational component of the intake
session that focuses on the
safe and effective
use of cannabis. Members are
also made aware of the
current
laws and political climate. It is important that
people using cannabis as a medicine are equipped with all the
information they need to make informed decisions.
