How patients can protect their private information when shopping at dispensaries

Patients,

Did you know that you can hide (redact) some personal information and private medical information on your provider certification form before providing it to a medical marijuana dispensary?

The Medical Marijuana Registry (MMR) is sharing these tips from the Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) to help protect your personal information when shopping for medical marijuana.

Protect your personal information before shopping for medical marijuana

You can hide (redact) the following information by covering it completely with a black marker. 

• Social security number.
• Date of birth.
• Specific medical diagnosis or condition fields.
• The reason for needing more plants.
• The reason for any changes to your provider certification form (Amend Reason).

Check out this redaction example on how to protect your private information.

Important reminders

• Use a black marker to cover the information completely.
• Make sure all other information listed on the provider certification form remains visible so the dispensary staff can verify your identity and your plant and oz count for the purchase.
• Keep a copy of your original provider certification for your records.

Additional information from the MED about the documents needed to shop for medical marijuana

For more information about what can be hidden (redacted) from your provider certification form, review the MED Compliance Tip on Redaction.
