Accepted Conditions for Recommending MMJ

So my question is can you be prescribed mmj for anxiety, depression, eating disorders?... and more specifically in Colorado?

I've heard mixed responses and would love to hear your answers and opinions. I have had anxiety/depression practically my entire life and been on and off different pills that don't work. I know mj helps me and would like to get legal, less anxiety not having to worry about johnny law =P:hippy:

If not then Colorado sorta sucks.

I am not from Colorado, but I am for the use of medical marijuana in ALL of the US for anxiety, depression, etc. For years, I have been taking handfuls of bathtub synthetic "pharmaceuticals" and they are just nothing but poison. Herbal healing and or therapy should be an option. It is the FDA that needs to be cracked down on for allowing more harmful than helpful "medications" be distributed and used.

Then why on the same website, the application says "HIV or AIDS positive
OR A medical condition or treatment that produces, for this patient, one or more of the following and which, in the
physicianâ??s professional opinion, may be alleviated by the medical use of marijuana." or am i not getting this -_-

I'm not sure, all I know is I had a friend try to get his card for anxiety and he was denied by the State. But the same person got a card for nausea.

Go figure?

I would hope to get it without having to lie, but if it's the only way i'll do it lol

Perhaps someone could shed some light on this topic. I have a little time to waste waiting for my tax return before i can get it anyways, Yay for taxes

I hear ya, Just think of it this way. Your anxiety can cause you to get nauseous, right?
