A. A registered dispensary agent shall dispense medical cannabis only from the service area to a qualifying patient or caregiver who has presented a Commission-issued patient or caregiver identification card.

(1) The qualifying patient or caregiver is currently registered;

(2) A certifying provider issued a valid written certification to the qualifying patient; and

(3) The amount of medical cannabis that has already been dispensed pursuant to the written certification.

C. A dispensary agent may provide information on:

(1) The available types of medical cannabis, cannabis varieties, and medical cannabis finished products;

(2) Methods by which medical cannabis can be taken; and

(3) How unused cannabis may be returned for disposal.

D. 30-day Supply.

(1) A qualifying patient or caregiver may obtain a portion of a 30-day supply at any time once the written certification is presented to a licensed dispensary, provided the portion being sought when added to portions previously obtained does not exceed a 30-day supply.

(2) The dispensary agent shall enter the weight of usable cannabis or the weight of ∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) dispensed in the Commission data network.

E. A registered dispensary agent may decline to dispense medical cannabis to a qualifying patient or caregiver if, in the professional opinion of the registered dispensary agent, the patient or caregiver appears to be currently under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

F. A licensed dispensary may not distribute a sample of medical cannabis.

G. If not used to purchase medical cannabis within 120 days of issuance, a written certification becomes null and void.
