And congrats on your recovery!

First off, you gotta get yourself "California legal". NORML's web site for California has a list of "cannabis friendly" doctors. Get a copy of your medical records, the money needed and make that appointment! Since you have legit medical problems, it will be easy as getting a check up!

I have no experience with the clubs. Our county's only one was busted well over a year ago. From what I understand, you may need to get a card from your county to get into most of them, but a few will honor just a doctor's written recommendation with phone verification- so go during your doctor's hours. I don't have a card because (A) my county is still only planning to offer them (they say this year, sometime), and (B) this is one heck of a corrupt system here and I'm staying off the radar! To be legal, however, all that is required is the doctor's letter.

I would suggest continuing to act as if you are "illegal". Don't tell folks about your grow, don't toke in public, etc. Home invasions to steal cannabis are becoming more frequent.

Since you use medically, I would suggest two things, first, click the link in my sig. It will take you to a fair sized list of medical cannabis studies and their URLs. It makes interesting reading. Second, you might like treatingyourself.com . It's a friendly little Canadian MMJ site- lots of good folks who have "been there".

Well, I think that covers it! Welcome to C.com, wander around a bit and don't forget to check out the stickies at the top of each forum! They have a lot of valuable info in them. - Granny:hippy:
