Green Ribbon Has A Rewards Program

For those of you that follow closely enough you may remember my article "Reviewing Green Ribbon" written back in February. For the month I ended up being a short term regular at Green Ribbon. they were great but eventually I found a suitable Co-Op much closer to home.

My usual Co-Op doesn't accept debit or credit and today I found myself cash less and in need of using my PayPal debit card. As truth be told Green Ribbon was the closest that actually had a working machine. A few pharmacies accepted but both said machines were down. So ironically I ended up back Green Ribbon.

Not only did they take care of my medication but I noticed their advertisement for a new rewards program. I could believe it. I am proud of my city. Riverside is really breaking ground with our normalization of medical marijuana. The Green Ribbon Co-Op is a primary example. With any medication the prices are just too much for the average citizen and the reward program now offered is sure to help many of us. Here below is a list of just a few of the rewards now offered at Green Ribbon.

Prize --- Patient Points

Pre-Roll = 100 pts
Edible = 250 pts
1 Eighth = 500 pts
Bong = 5,000 pts
Playstation 3 = 7,500

Americans for Safe Access

Also Known as the ASA The Americans for Safe Access has recently created a new program that everyone must know about. Americans for Safe Access is a member-based organization of patients, medical professionals, scientists and concerned citizens promoting safe and legal access to cannabis for therapeutic use and research.

We have come along way but our system, laws and our rights are far from perfect and with raids still happening, what’s a medical cannabis provider to do? Thankfully, Americans For Safe Access (ASA) has launched a “Raid Response” campaign to help protect our MMJ community’s rights. When a raid is in progress and reported to ASA, here’s a taste of how things are supposed to go down

Step 1 As illustrated above ... ASA staff checks its database to find information about the provider or dispensary being raided.

Step 2 is illustrated to our right as the ASA seeks to confirm the raid by calling the dispensary contacts it has on file. Communicating directly with the dispensary. This gives the ASA the opportunity to acquire the accurate information prior to sending out Text Alerts to the MMJ community.


Step 3 .... Attorneys for the medical cannabis provider and the local media are both contacted. A text alert is sent to the community.

Finally Step 4 ......Local activists are convened, a press release is issued, victims and patients are supported.
