I'm just repeating what the agency told me and my wife, when my wife was applying and they told her to put me down as a caregiver so I would be protected too. When she asked about privacy and if it would adversely affect her/us, they said it was private and confidential and no one would know, not the insurance Co. or the police. When push further for where it was written, we were shown and told that all someone has to do is call to verify that you are on the list and they will confirm it yes or no.(I guess they don't feel this is against your privacy) This is how the police work here. They either fly over or someone reports a grower and before they come bashing in they call DHS and request that an address is on the list as a grow site (then they come in and do a plant count) or if your pulled over they can call in your name and request to see if you are on the list and current (of course you are supposed to have your card on you and grow site posted as well). And this is the policy today, things change over time and the records don't get destroyed. I'm not trying to be paranoid just cautious. I have been smoking for as long as I can remember and I don't consider myself a criminal. I don't need to turn myself in to some lame agency who is giving me permission to smoke and grow a plant in my yard and people jump through hoops to give them their info so that they can do what should be there right anyway. Fuc em. I'm just saying to be safe. If your not worried about it then go for it, but you can't take it back so I hope you’re doing the right thing.
I might be a bit older than some of you too. I learn by living and historically it has been proven that over the years many lists that has been created for one purpose with good intentions and then has been used by others to achieve their agenda. It is still not federally approved so you are still breaking the. Fed law trumps local law.
