I’m not sure what would be embarrassing. Literally everyone who shops in a retail outlet (a dispensary) would have the card in the above instance. True in some states there might be products available to those without a card and that’s just like going in any store.

Can you say self-medicating? Is this what is happening, considering that the research does not yet indicate that large numbers of persons are in need of medical marijuana.

I just looked on the job board. The pay is $30 and the reimbursement is $55 for what seems like a very easy survey (far fewer questions than what their dining surveys have). That seems like an appropriately generous payout for a shop location that only a limited number of people would be able to access. I've certainly seen many airport or military base shops that paid a lot less.

I can't see how they will have enough people in their shopper database to complete these shops. This is a very specific requirement that they are looking for, and they don't have the shopper pool that a company like MF has. I live in this area and do not know a single card carrying person.

Would these people pass the criteria to submit reports though? (Get past the writing sample submission?)
I'm not arguing ethics or benefits of medical marijuana, just that I can't see this specific MSC getting possible candidates for this assignment.

Pretty sure the vast majority of people I know with cards could manage the writing submission. I know several with PHDs that do research and grant writing. Many medicinal marijuana products with THC screened out are products like creams and oils. The people with cards are like many other regular type people. I don’t see comments about people submitting bar shops.

Yup. Self-medicating in some cases.
Today's marijuana per se and via current delivery systems is stronger than the stuff of last century. In those years, activists wanted to legalize a tamer substance. In recent years, governments have legalized something else.
The medical profession does not necessarily do harm when it permits medical marijuana. It just does not have a sound basis for doing so due to the dearth of established research information. Anecdotally, some people report relief. But is this due to pot, their role as paid or unpaid activists, and/or something else? This should be discovered.
Will today's strong marijuana be an effective replacement for opioids without causing additional addictions or harm? This might be an interesting question for future study.

It is Fake News that it is stronger today then what it was in the old days when it mostly came from Columbia and Mexico.

I've seen more than one shopper on here recount writing their reports while having a glass of wine and no one seemed worried their writing was going to be compromised or not usable.

I did one of these shops, (Different Company, and retail marijuana not medical) Just like any other retail shop. Easy visit, easy report. Won't do another likely as all the products were expensive and it paid a flat rate. I am not interested enough in the product.
The sales person was explaining to a former user that today's products are indeed stronger and advising to start with a small amount.
