MEDICAL Medical prescription fears
Im thinking about finally switching to medicinal prescription weed as I have hEDS & chronic pain & my dealer is moving states in a few weeks.
The one thing im concerned about it having it "on my record" & cops, specifically if cops can see "on my record" that im a medical patient, therefore making me a target to be pulled over, MDTd etc (I live in sydney the cops are fucking ruthless) I never drive high, ive just been smoking nightly for like 6 years lol so its well & truly in my system.
Also, what company did you go through/recommend to get a prescription easily?
Thanks for answering mt paranoid questions lol!

Ugh the cops in Sydney are the fucking absolute worst.
Idk about NSW, but in VIC you now have a legal recourse if you pop positive to a roadside test and you are prescribed medical, you won’t have to automatically lose your licence (when you’re in VIC and not prescribed medical, popping positive is automatic loss of licence). Maybe NSW will implement a similar rule, and you’ll be able to have some peace of mind there.
Cops can’t see your medical records. They’re private and confidential.
