I do not have it yet. I don't have enough money to get one because I haven't found a job. My spouse is currently working and it is enough to cover our bills, sort of, but little else.

As soon as I can, however, I am getting one. I have some mild to moderate anxiety problems that pot really helps with. I also have insomnia and very mild sleep apnea (believe it or not, the pot really helps with the sleep apnea). Also, I have degenerative disc disease and this has caused sciatica. I have medical records for all of this.

Ironically, when I was living in the south, in a state that has rather harsh marijuana laws, I went to a doctor about the anxiety. After he prescribed me some Fluoxetine and Klonopin, he said "Off the record, do you use any drugs?" I think he wanted to know if I used cocaine or any uppers, which could obviously cause anxiety. I said I only used marijuana and that it helped. He laughed and went "well, all I can say is that it is probably helping you a lot and I see no reason to stop". I think if he'd been in a different state he'd have prescribed me marijuana then and there. Very cool, very kind doctor.

MaryLane Reviewed by MaryLane on . MMJ and discrimination? If you are in a state that has legal medical marijuana, and you have a doctor's recommendation for it (and the accompanying MMJ card/paperwork whatever is required for you to legally smoke pot) can a job decline to hire you if you fail a drug test due to cannabis? I was told that here in California all you have to do is show your MMJ card and it is illegal for them to discriminate against you for it. Rating: 5
