So non-profits pay all the property, state income and sales tax?

So when I give a non-profit ID # to stores when I buy stuff for the non-profit charity fund-raising group I'm affiliated with, we're NOT getting the benefit of claiming to be a non-profit?

(I was under the impression non-profit health care providers in PA had to provide a certain amount of charity care, but sadly, I was very wrong.)

If the cop comes up with a reason for probable cause, or can show reasonable suspicion that you are intoxicated (classic "I smell burnt cannabis in the car" bullshit) then yes. They can detain you until a blood test is done.

Never said they SHOULD be able to do this, but it is 100% plausible.

I'm genuinely curious what else lvhn should do. Options are, as I see them. A) keep her as a patient forever B) send her back to her native country C) place her outside on the curb

I'm in favor of universal Healthcare. All for protecting illegal aliens and letting them become a citizen. But this happens often and in other developed countries

It doesn't matter how you get pulled over.

Let's say the cop pulls you over for a tail light that's out, but finds some bullshit probable cause to test you for DUI. If you've used cannabis in the last month, you're pretty well fucked due to the incredibly low limit for THC in the blood mentioned above in this thread.

The way the law is currently written, if you use cannabis on a regular basis, you are technically committing a DUI every time you drive in PA, whether you are currently high or not.

This combined with the fact I can't legally own a firearm with a medical card is why I haven't bothered to get one. It doesn't offer me any real protections or benefits for the fees I'd have to pay, and it's giving documentation of my cannabis use to the state that can be used against me when the cops see fit.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I mean sure but at the same time she's been hospitalized for 10 weeks and had brain surgery. Unless the patient and family pay out of pocket, this will be entirely free of charge.

And while in a coma, she might not require to be hospitalized any longer. Then of course, where does she go? No rehab will take her in.

What is LVHN to do if someone doesn't require hospitalization?
