OCBC to Issue Alameda County MMJ Patient ID Cards
Oakland Coop to Continue to Issue Its Own Card, In Addition to State ID
The Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative (dba Alameda County Patient Services) has been awarded the agency contract to
issue Alameda County patient ID cards as part of SB 420. OCBC will continue to issue its non-governmental cards for all patients and
caregivers who live in other counties. The state ID card, which will be issued beginning on August 1st, will be handled
like a driver's license application, with information submitted and
authenticated, a photo taken and a card picked up later at the center
or issued by mail, with some records kept for purposes of county
audit. The OCBC card will continue to be a option for patients or
caregivers who do not want to be on the state list. OCBC says that it is not right to discriminate
against patients that choose to not get the new state ID. OCBC plans on
opening a Southern California ID Center this fall, to offer
more support for patients statewide. Some protections
offered by the state ID program could limit the legal protection of
carrying just an OCBC card and physician's statement, according to Jeff Jones, the director of the OCBC. Read more
