--some background information on the Patient ID Center
for hope members to learn more about our visitor and
his organization!

The goal of the Patient ID Center (PIDC) formaly known
as Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative (OCBC) is to
provide seriously ill patients with a safe and
reliable source of medical cannabis information and
patient support. Our cooperative is open to all
patients with a verifiable letter of recommendation
for medical cannabis, used to alleviate or terminate
the effects of their illnesses. The PIDC is currently
unable to dispense medical cannabis due to federal
court order, this ruling is currently under appeal and
we will post updates as they become available.

Federal statutes currently prohibit the use of
cannabis as medicine. However, scientific evidence,
including anecdotal evidence, documents the relief
that cannabis provides to many seriously ill patients.
The cooperative is dedicated to reducing the harm
these patients encounter due to the prohibition of
cannabis.

PIDC's offices are multi-faceted facilities,
accessible to people with disabilities. We provide a
professional atmosphere for patients to obtain photo
ID cards qualifing them under the Health and Safety
Code section 11362.5, with trained member advocates on
hand to offer advice and assistance. We also offer
self-help services such as cultivation meetings and
massage therapy by appointment. In addition, PIDC
provides information on a variety of topics, including
AIDS prevention and treatment, safe sex, and cannabis
reform in general. (See our calendar.)

The Patient ID Center currently operates under the
auspices of California Proposition 215 and Oakland
City Council Resolution No. 72516. Resolution 72516,
and pursurant to Oakland Municpal Ordinance 8.42.
Furthermore, the city has appointed a working group to
oversee PIDC functions and to determine the most
effective means to protect and assist seriously ill
patients.

US Constitution: Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states
respectively, or to the people.

Cannabis is leading the way for a more holistic type of medical care, a
general revolt against corporate rationed care and traditional
pharmaceutical company approaches to medicine. Patients use marijuana to get
off toxic drugs. They find fellowship in compassion clubs. They find
empowerment in fighting against prohibition, standing up to police and
demagogues. Our opponents can threaten our freedom, but they can't kill
our spirit
