Ohio Medical Marijuana Patients Bill of Rights

Employment Protections - prevent discrimination in the workforce against patients, including pre-employment and during employment.

Rental Protections - invalidate language in rental and lease contracts that prevents the use of medical marijuana in a patient's residence privately.

Retail Protections - price matching of products and a clearer process around conflict resolution (returns / exchanges / online orders). Require online orders remove the reserved products from available inventory and be held and available for the patient with penalties for product being oversold or otherwise not available at the time of pickup. Allow menus to show product images and require links to available online test results. Require new product releases and product discontinuation be disclosed with enough time for patients to update their treatment plans.

Supply and Availability - stop roadblocking level 2 cultivators from increasing their production capacity by upgrading to level 1. Sane and evenly divisible supply units - increase the 90 day limit to 9 ounces so it divides evenly into day-tenths. Remove the unnecessary 70% THC cap from extracts. This places an undue burden on the processors and increases the cost of supply. Require that any products sold that require accessories (IE luster pods) have the appropriate accessories available for sale separately (IE the luster pod batteries). Require the patient portal website show the patients full list of purchases, their current amount of supply remaining and when it resets. Immediately double and grant the number of allowed licenses for cultivation, processing and dispensing

Home Use - allow patients to process in a limited capacity (no solvents). Allow the pressing and cooking. There is no reason patients cannot repurpose their dry flower product that has been vaporized but still contains active medical components.

Data Protection - classify patient records as falling under HIPAA. Require consent for any data sharing and disclose all parties involved.

Been bouncing around in the ol duders head for awhile so I figured I'd put some ideas down to start working from. How does this sound to everyone? My goal is to focus on the 80% and not the 20%. All of these things seem like no brainers, no obvious reason for pushback. To be honest, it's all stuff you assume the program would require already but I digress...
