Membership Qualifications:
River Valley Collective operates in strict compliance with California Health and Safety Code 11362.5 (Prop 215) and 11362.7 (SB 420). You must be at least eighteen (18) years old, have a state-issued photo identification and a doctor’s recommendation for medical cannabis to access dispensary services. Parents or court-appointed legal guardians must act as caregivers to obtain service on behalf of legally qualified patients who are younger than eighteen (18) years old. We serve only legally qualified patients and caregivers. Under no circumstances whatsoever are services provided to persons who are not qualified under California law. You must become a registered member to obtain services. Any person who is not a member or qualified patient, including minors, is not permitted within the dispensary area of River Valley Collective.
To become a member of River Valley Collective:
Present the original copy of your doctor’s recommendation for use of medical cannabis, along with your state-issued photo ID, to the staff at River Valley Collective. We will make a copy of your recommendation and return the original to you. Your membership will be pending until a River Valley Collective staff member verifies the validity of your recommendation. Upon verification, your membership and access to dispensary services will become active. Your membership will be valid until the date your recommendation expires. Please note that we must verify your recommendation before dispensing medicine.
Designated Caregivers:
River Valley Collective patient members may designate a primary caregiver who is authorized to receive medicine on the patient’s behalf. Please be advised that a primary caregiver is someone who has “consistently provided for the housing, safety, or welfare” of the patient (CA H&S Code 11362.5). Under no circumstances may a primary caregiver obtain services for himself or herself unless he or she is also a legally qualified patient and registered as such with River Valley Collective. To designate a caregiver, a completed Primary Caregiver Designation Form is required. Forms are available from member services staff members.
