Release of Liability
I attest that the information on this form is correct and any medical history presented or discussed with the doctor is factual and complete to the best of my knowledge. I do not plan or intend to use my physician’s recommendation for the purpose of illegally obtaining medical cannabis.

I understand that I must be a PENNSYLVANIA resident to obtain a certification/recommendation for the use of medical cannabis.

I understand that the cannabis plant is not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration and therefore may contain unknown quantities of active ingredients, impurities and/or contaminants. I acknowledge that the state of PA, however, does have a regulatory body in place that monitors the quality and content of medical cannabis that is sold in this state. I understand the potential risks associated with a daily consumption of medical cannabis, including risks with respect to the effect on my cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and psychomotor performance, as well as potential drug dependency. I am aware that the benefits and risks associated with the use of cannabis are not fully understood and that the use of cannabis may involve risks that have not yet been identified. In requesting an certification/recommendation for the use of medical cannabis, I assume full responsibility for any and all risks involved in this action.

I have been advised that medical cannabis smoke contains chemicals that may be harmful to my health. Recent research suggests that vaporizing cannabis may eliminate exposure to particulate matter which can be harmful to the lungs. Should respiratory problems or other ill effects be experienced in association with its use, it should be discontinued and reported to the physician immediately.

I understand that the use of medical cannabis may affect my coordination and cognition in ways that could impair my ability to drive, operate machinery, or engage in potentially hazardous activities. I assume full responsibility for any harm resulting to me and/or other individuals as a result of my use of cannabis.

Pennsylvania’s Medical Cannabis Act 16, approved April 12, 2016 provides for the possession of medical cannabis for personal medical use. I acknowledge that the physician, staff and representatives of this practice are not providing medical cannabis, nor are they encouraging any illegal activity in obtaining medical cannabis.

I, the undersigned, hereby request a consultation by the physician for purposes of determining the appropriateness of medicinal cannabis treatment. The physicians at Herbal Care Rx will assess my appropriateness for use of medical cannabis only and are in no way establishing themselves as a primary care provider. Should an approval be made for my medicinal use of cannabis, I understand that there is a renewal date specified by the physician depending on my condition. I understand that it is now my responsibility to discuss with a physician the possible continuance of cannabis use beyond the term of the approval.

I acknowledge that my consultation with Herbal Care Rx is solely for the purposes of assessing my fitness for use and not for providing specific information about the use of cannabis for the treatment of symptoms and conditions. In accordance with state law, if I require information and guidance about cannabis use for the treatment of specific symptoms and conditions, I may consult the pharmacist or nurse practitioner of my dispensary during my initial visit and may meet with them on any subsequent visit to obtain additional counseling regarding the use of medical cannabis to meet a treatment goal. By being certified by the physicians at Herbal Care Rx, I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for how, when and where I use cannabis. As such, Herbal Care Rx is unable to provide information to your employer or any other entity regarding your pattern of use of medical cannabis.

Furthermore, I, the undersigned, or anyone acting on my behalf, hold the physician and her principals, agents, and employees, free of and harmless from any liability resulting from the use of medical cannabis.

I further understand that by signing below, I am authorizing the release of any part of this record, except for identifying information, for use in data analysis of medical cannabis treated patients.

I agree that this agreement may be electronically signed. I agree that the electronic signatures appearing on this agreement are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility, in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act.

Medical Cannabis Patient Declaration
I hereby declare that I have completely and truthfully disclosed all information regarding my medical condition and attest that I do not intend to use my medical recommendation for the purpose of illegally obtaining, growing, or distributing medicinal cannabis.

I am aware that my recommendation/certification can be revoked at any time, and legal action will be taken if I have perjured or misrepresented myself, my condition, or my intentions, or have falsified any medical records given to the physician.

Additionally, I acknowledge that the attending physician has informed me of the nature of the recommended treatment, and addressed any questions I have regarding the risks, complications, and expected benefits of said recommended treatment. I acknowledge that I understand that no guarantee can be made regarding the likelihood of success or failure of treatment with medical cannabis.

I acknowledge the attending physician has informed me of alternatives to the recommended treatment, including the alternative of no treatment, and the associated risks and benefits. The physician may request that I visit another physician or specialist to further substantiate my condition. I will be informed of all of the above regardless of whether or not I qualify as a medical cannabis patient.
