Collective Statement
Mission Statement:
To provide a safe and compassionate environment for Medical Marijuana Patients to acquire high quality medical cannabis and cannabis-related medical items/information, and to encourage a holistic, perhaps a safer alternative to the conventional allopathic method of medicine; which may have failed in the past.
Vision Statement:
This collective envisions collaboration of community in a world where individuals have the access to the medical treatments and information they require regardless of wealth and without the fear of prosecution. We envision a supportive society where natural therapies including cannabis can be made available and can be dispensed compassionately, along with the proper information regarding such therapies. In this vision each individual makes a conscious choice to take responsibility for the communal and environmental state of health and well being.

If further mediation is requested / required a collective decision will be made regarding the situation, if need be further precautions will be made.
4) Purchasing Cannabis:
(a) Suggested Donations: The suggested donation price set for all L.B.O.’s medical
Cannabis products is unanimously decided upon by the collective and based on
the price paid for said items. Should the price exceed a patients affordability
s/he should inform a volunteer of the situation and the collective can impose a
set percentage discount for patients on a case-by-case basis.
(b) Limitations: Members may purchase up to 2 ounces per day and may visit

redistribution or resale, limits may be imposed on your purchasing after a
consultation between yourself, an LBO volunteer and/or your physician.
(c) Returns/Exchanges: We understand that there are many choices to be made
when finding a cannabis product or strain that works for your specific needs.
Should you make a purchase of an eighth (1/8th) of an ounce or more of a
strain and find that it does not fit your needs please bring back the remaining
cannabis and an L.B.O. volunteer can weigh and exchange it for that weight of
a more suitable strain (if the replacement cannabis is of a higher cost, the sum
of the difference will be the only required, if any, payment).

have a California Designated Primary Caregiver (along with proper CA Medical
Marijuana Caregiver Identification) the caregiver must be verified and added to

recorded your caregiver may make purchases on your behalf. If we cannot
verify your patient status or the legitimacy of your caregiver we can not

at all times while inside the showroom to protect the anonymity of our
patients.

making personal healthcare decisions, including the decision to use Cannabis
medicinally.
