Medically Approved

Just wondering how many people on here are Medically Approved for MJ? I been searching around google and through the forums checking out info on it.
It's been along time since I smoked and I am just waiting for my doctors appointment.But I was reading that Hawaii's state laws protect the Patient,but federal laws still are entact.....does that mean you could still get busted by a fed? Like even though the state and local authorities cant bust you if your keeping in the rules of medical MJ,but the feds....the state laws dont affect them is that it?

This may sound like a stupid question,but I think I been readig all these things and its starting to get confsing.lol

Im a MJ Patient..True! fed laws can still get us.. But nothing major unless your doing something major.. get it? minor things like possession would have to be proved legal by your doctors recommendation. Now take all of that Info with a glass of strawberry milk. lol the way things happen where u live may differ from where i live.. k They(government peeps) are trying to figure out how to deal with this dilemma..so u just gotta wait & see what happens.. also no more canna clubs can open up for another year or so until things are situated..

Right on,Thanks JDM,I appreciate the reply.I was just confused at if you have to register as a MJ Patient,they (feds)could get the records and bust everyone and the doctors,but they havent done that......but it has to be a major thing?......thats cool.
Did you have to take an online test before seeing your doctor about the MJ?

no i went to L.A. and saw a doctor and got a my recommendation that same day... and was high as a kite that night.. lol :) if your worried about getting in trouble, you wont. You risk the chance of trouble more without the card.. just look up your local marijuana laws, and limits. You should be fine.. enjoy being Legally High!! cuz i do ;) :rasta:

The laws regarding medical marijuana differ from state to state, check the link below for information on going legal in Hawaii:
Becoming A Patient in Hawaii

It seems in Hawaii you do have to register with the government, however, that is only optional in California.

That is, of course, Hawaii state law, Federal law does not recognize any state medical marijuana laws but the DEA has stated they are not targeting individual users. Instead, they are mostly focusing on the co-ops and growers that provide medical marijuana. I'm not even sure if there are any co-ops in Hawaii, in California many cities and counties are banning them from even opening up, and some police officers are even helping the DEA shut down co-ops. But as an individual patient, you shouldn't have to worry about too much.

It is confusing so don't feel dumb for thinking so, hopefully the next president will end this crap and just let states to individually decide themselves if they want medical marijuana, (which is how it should be), but only time will tell.

P.S. Jesus Christ, I was just reading the laws for simple possession in Hawaii, 30 days incarceration and $1000 fine?? WTF? I would have thought Hawaii would be laid back with their pot laws...well, be safe then!
