By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Most living centers will not allow weed or even CBD because they are worried about liability. If this place is doing your laundry, it is possible that the smell will bleed onto other people’s clothes. You cannot smell it, however someone else might be able to. Even if you smoke it outside, just like cigarette smoke, the smell lingers in the air and can bother people.
I’m assuming that you are doing weed for the THC and that CBD by itself will not work. If you need to smoke it because you enjoy the act of smoking, you might think about moving to a state that is more friendly to cigarette smoke. Otherwise, there are all types of edibles, chews, etc. that might work for you.
However, do you really want to have a physician where you are not completely honest about all the drugs you are taking? And do you really want to see a physician who does not have the same beliefs as you do regarding your health?
I suggest you move somewhere else that is more aligned with your medical beliefs.
There is nothing wrong with the weed. Since Medicare is federal and some states have legalized Mary Jane, it may be legal in the state but not legal in an institution that is medicare funded.
There is an unfortunate stigma when it comes to this and they would rather pump you full of pharmaceutical drugs that have all kinds of side effects. And the reason many seniors are on so many meds because they take one drug to counteract the side effects of another and it's a never-ending cycle.
If it works for whatever issues you have and prescribed by a doctor it should not be an issue.
There is no "if someone smells it", they will smell the smoke after the fact as it is not only on your clothes and in your hair, but also coming from your lungs out your nose every time you breathe. Therefore, if your facility doesn't allow smoking of any type, then yes they could ask you to locate to another facility.
There are other things one can do to help lessen high anxiety. I am a senior myself and any time I feel really wrapped up, I found just pushing a carpet sweeper [no, not a vacuum] can help me.
I'd check with your AL about THEIR rules pertaining to smoking weed on their property, even with a medical license to do so, before you do. Since there's a Catch-22 with it being legal in some states but not FEDERALLY legal, you will probably not be allowed to smoke on the grounds of your AL. And, since your doctor already told you she will not treat you if she catches you smoking, there you have it.
Why not use edibles instead?
