The patient’s prescription did not cover smokeable flower

A medical marijuana patient came to the store to buy smokable flower products. I was charged with taking care of the customer. I wanted to do a great job. The customer presented me with their name and birthday and medical marijuana card. I looked at their information in the medical marijuana state database so I could see their prescription and the limits. These pieces of information are important, because it determines how much marijuana we can sell to each patient. Just like with any other prescription from the doctor, a patient has to follow the guidelines set forth by the doctor. Many of our medical marijuana patients have a prescription for edibles, inhalants, and smokable flower. Some patients only have a prescription for one of these three. It honestly depends on what your doctor has written in your prescription. When I was approached by this particular customer, she was asking about the price on smokable flower. I quickly advised that patient that she did not have a prescription for smokable flower. The woman became instantly irate. She tried to tell me that that dispensary downtown sold her smokable flower. I couldn’t find that information anywhere on the state database and the place lists every single order that the patient has made since they had a medical marijuana card. The database goes pretty far back and I did not see a single purchase for smokable marijuana flower. I advise the customer to speak with her doctor regarding the prescription if she was unhappy with the products that were available. The lady got louder and louder until the security guard stepped in to escort her out of the building.
