I'll walk you through it. :thumbsup:

(1) Get those medical records.

(2) Go to NORML's California site. They have a list of "friendly" doctors. Make your appointment. If you are strapped for cash, call around- there can be quite a price difference. Expect about $200 for the first visit.

(3) It will be much like a normal doctor's visit. You will be weighed and all that jazz. The doctor will look at your records and discuss cannabis use and your condition. He will ask if you have any questions- if you do, ask! Since you have real, documented problems, you WILL be given your rec! No doubt about it!

(4) You pay the receptionist and she hands you a piece of paper stating the doctor believes that you could benefit from using cannabis.

(5) You walk out "legal". It's that simple! :thumbsup: You may now possess 8 ounces of cannabis and 6 mature plants.

(6) Now about the dispensaries/clubs...I'm way out in the boonies, and there ain't no such thing around here. From what I understand, they vary on who can use their services. But the green bar at the top of the page has "Cannabis Club Directory" as one of the options! (If all else fails, your eldest knows who to ask- unless s/he has absolutely no social life!)

And I understand about your meds/memory problem. Even low dosage codeine makes me "about 5 years old". Totally wipes out my higher mental functions! My boys say I'm hilarious! - Granny:hippy:
