How could i get a mmj card?

[Matt the Funk]

me personally, i live in chicago. no mmj here. but a friend of mine has been living in cali for a year now and has a mmj card. he has bought medical and he has bought off the street. he says he can find much better shit on the streets for a way more reasonable price. thats why i said that.

He/She needs to find a better co-op lol

Tell them you have panic disorder (you get nervous a lot). That's what drama did on Entourage.

You could also claim back pain or insomnia. You want to make it something that can't be proven by medical records. Or maybe you're reason actually is legitimate enough to get medical.

That was a good episode of entourage. It's funny because I'm sure there are doctors like that and they get busted all the time.

Anyhow, find a pot friendly doc if you're desperate for a card. In my personal opinion I don't think you should get a card if you don't have any condition. Some people really need it medicinally. If the system gets too corrupt then it will fail. I really hope that it will be legalized soon (all those pharm companies will go down in flames). If I lived in a medical marijuana state I would probally try and get some for insomnia, anxiety (I can't stand xanax), and I started noticing back pains when I was around 16 (I'm destined to have a crappy spine like my father). I've been self-medicating for years and I haven't had troubles going to sleep, back pain is only bad when I stand for too long, and... well I still have a bit of anxiety but it definately helps a lot. I'm very stoned right now so I hope that makes sense.

i checked out dat granny links page but that didnt answer my question...

i swear when i smoke my vision gets better when i wear my contacts....they wouldnt give me a mmj card for that would they?

I don't know what links you read but you still don't have a clue as to how medical marijuana works in california. Not trying to be a prick, but please, if somebody is providing information please do your best to read through it as much as possible...or use google since that always is a good last resort option (sometimes better than asking on a forum lol).

You are probably just like me and rather than reading through a list of links you just want the cliffnote version of your answer, so here it is:

Under California Prop 215 Section A it states:
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

That "any other illness" part covers your vision problems.

I also want to respond to what others are saying about who should and shouldn't go legal, and I'm sure many will disagree with me but I am a legal recipient of medical marijuana, (yes I have a serious condition, I have Crohn's disease), but I personally don't see it as a problem if people are abusing the system. It took years and years of people breaking the law to realize marijuana had medical benefits so I think it is hypocritical to criticize somebody for breaking a new law to simply use this wonderful drug. I would also much rather people buy their bud from a safe and clean establishment rather than off some gangster thug on the streets. Who would you rather see making money, marijuana reformists or gangsters? I choose the marijuana reformists working at these co-ops!

That is why I would love to live in Cali. I have a shit ton of shit marijuana would be good to me for. I go days without sleeping and because of that I get nausous. When I smoke, however, I can go to sleep within an hour and I feel fine in the morning. I sure hope IL passes that medical marijuana bill.
