Two years ago Medical Marijuana of San Diego temporarily relocated to the San Diego/Orange County Border because there were no Dispensaries or Co-ops available to supply Medical Marijuana to our patients in San Diego County, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors of San Diego refused to implement the Marijuana Laws, and the District Attorney served notice that all Dispensaries in San Diego were to close. All Medical Marijuana patients in San Diego were forced to travel to Orange or LA County to obtain Medical Marijuana legally at dispensaries and co-ops.

When United States Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the federal government would leave Medical Marijuana alone and only go after those breaking both Federal and State Laws, the climate in the world of Medical Marijuana suddenly changed. After the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the final appeal of San Diego County against implementing the State of California mandated Medical Marijuana Laws and Identification Card system, dispensaries started opening up all over San Diego; No longer was it necessary for our patients to travel to OC or LA for their medicine.

In order to better serve our many patients in San Diego County, we pleased to announce that we will be reopening our San Diego office as soon as suitable office space is located. Know of a good location? We are listening . . .captainhow@gmail.com

Dr. Bob Blake took over Medical Marijuana of San Diego (MMSD), Medical Marijuana of Orange County (MMOC) and Medical Marijuana of Los Angeles (MMLA) from Dr. Alfonso Jimenez on April 23, 2009. If you have a current recommendation issued by Dr. Jimenez, YOU ARE STILL COVERED for the full term of that certificate by Dr. Blake. He has all of your records is now supervising the Medical Marijuana Treatment plan provided to you by Dr. Jimenez.

You are entitled to a free replacement certificate. Although you must currently come to the Dana Point or Los Angeles office for our FREE certificate replacement service, you will soon be able to use our new San Diego office for replacements, renewals or new patient evaluations.

Should your medical marijuana recommendation be challenged by law enforcement, Dr. Blake will stand behind the letter of recommendation written by Dr. Jimenez whether or not you have obtained a replacement certificate. When he took over MMOC, MMSD and MMLA, Dr. Blake became the physician following the condition for which you received your medical marijuana recommendation. The staff at MMOC, MMSD and MMLA look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Thanks,
Bob Blake, M.D. and staff
