how do you get medical weed?

[ITGfan17921]

jw, because it looks like quite a few members get it, how do you get it? what types of conditions do you have to have? etc.

thanks

You have to know certain doctors that will sign you off, but you have to have a legit excuse.

[Matt the Funk]

You have to live in a MM friendly state. Have a condition such as anorexia,arthritis,insomnia,MS, etc... and you have to get a recommendation from a physician. Once you have gotten tha far weed is pretty much legal for you within your state. Then you can go to a cannabis club/medical dispnesary, same thing, and purchase weed,hash,edibles,kief,clones,seeds,etc...

Jeez instead of flooding this thread with a million opinions on the matter, why dont you do homework specific for your area?

Marijuana Law Reform - NORML (http://www.norml.org) OR google!!

Medical Marijuana isn't REALLY legal ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, even medicinally. Don't be fooled by all the hype.

[The.Devil.Himself]

I take that back.

FACT:

The USA government supplies a total of 7 patients with government grown marijuana because of a program started in the late 70's. Monthly, they receive government care-packages containing 300 pre-rolled joints. These patients are free to smoke anywhere within reason... even in front of our nation's capitol.

When these last 7 patients die, the program will be closed forever.

Yes dude it is legal state wide. I don't give a fuc about what the federal gov has to say, I actually don't care much about the state gov either.

where did u get that from? is that actually a fact or just you came up with that theory when you were blitzed out of your mind. im just curious because i have never heard that before

what types of conditions do you have to have?

Here is what the law says in California:

"To ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where the medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief. "

Basically, the way the law is written in California, all you need is a doctor saying you have some condition that requires the use of medical marijuana. I think in Canada you have to have a specific condition listed in their law, but I don't really know.

You sound like you don't have a condition and are just trying to figure out how to abuse the system, which I personally don't have a problem with, but when the information is so easy to find on a simple google search I don't see why you need much more help than has been given.

does age matter on getting these cards? and if it does do you need parent agreement also or what?

[Matt the Funk]

Well if you are under 18 (like me) it depends on the doctor, but yes BOTH parents have to sign. I still haven't gone but I know I need both parents, plus I want to make sure the doc isn't against minors using cannabis. But you could even just pay a doctor enough and they wouldn't give a fuck.

Hi.... Hope you don't mind me asking, but do you (or have you) taken any other prescribed medications for your social anxiety and panic attacks? I have both as well..... I've taken tons of different meds.... and right now I'm using Lexapro with the occasional xanax. I have just started using marijuana... only done it about four times.... and I started it because I wanted to find help with my anxiety.

I'm glad that marijuana helps you.... I'm hoping it will help me too. Right now...I'm such a newbie.... I have a lot to learn. :)

Different strains can treat different ailments, I have just started toking up because I heard it helps Crohn's disease, and the first batch I got didn't do squat, but the stuff I have now really helps....almost as good as the prescribed steroids only without the side effects

Check out the post from Robert 42, that shit needs to be stickied by the mods!!!
