Hi,
Anyone know of a way to locate a doctor in Alaska who would sign the paperwork for an MS patient to obtain the medical marijuana card?

Thanks

Why do u need a med card? Its your constituitional right as an alaskan to grow 25 marijuana plants.


"Possession of less than 25 plants is protected under the Alaska Constitutionâ??s right to privacy (See Ravin v. Alaska). Possession of 25 or more marijuana plants is â??Misconduct involving a controlled substance in the fourth degreeâ?� and is punishable by a fine of up to $50,000 or five years in prison"

Thanks for the replies but you are Wrong!

If you get caught without the card they take everything, lights, plants.

They may never press charges.

With the card you can grow without this worry.

Still looking for a doctor.

Thanks

For those uninformed, here is a synopsis from the NORML site:

Alaska
SUMMARY: Fifty-eight percent of voters approved Ballot Measure #8 on November 3, 1998. The law took effect on March 4, 1999. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physician advising that they "might benefit from the medical use of marijuana." Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV or AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity; and nausea. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess no more than one ounce of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than six marijuana plants, of which no more than three may be mature. The law establishes a confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients.

AMENDMENTS:Yes.
Senate Bill 94, which took effect on June 2, 1999, mandates all patients seeking legal protection under this act to enroll in the state patient registry and possess a valid identification card. Patients not enrolled in the registry will no longer be able to argue the "affirmative defense of medical necessity" if they are arrested on marijuana charges.
