[QUOTE="4play, post: 3423628, member: 7223"] HIPAA laws are federal laws, MJ is still illegal federally, how'd ya like that, lol. A doctor that takes/reviews MJ license applications etc, are required to be HIPAA compliant, a dispensary (most of them??? idk) might not be covered entities, HIPAA regs would not apply. If they (Feds) want your information they can always use subpoenas or warrants since cannabis is still a schedule 1 narcotic and federally illegal. To know who HIPAA laws apply to, you need to figure out if they are a covered entity. I am not a legal expert at any level but have some understanding of HIPAA law. I'm not very clear of the relationship between MJ licensing, physicians, dispensaries, and the medical records involved. [/QUOTE]
