"Any other chronic or persistent medical symptom that either: (i) Substantially limits the ability of the person to conduct one or more major life activities as defined by the ADA of 1990; and (ii) if not alleviated, may cause serious harm to the patient's safety or physical or mental health."

If you are in California, that is the law! You don't eat, can't work and have chronic pain- unless you have cannabis. Take your medical records and go! You qualify!
