First, it REALLY helps to have a legit medical problem. I'm going to assume that you do have one.

First, go to your own doctor. He can give you the recommendation, but most likely won't. Take a load of medical studies to support your position (click the "medical studies" link below). My own "regular" doctor admitted to using cannabis in the past, but was too freaked out by the feds to give me a rec. He still took the studies.

When your doctor says "No.", ask for a copy of your medical records, so you can see a specialist. Mine took about 10 days to get to me.

Once you have your records, go on line to the California NORML site. They have a list of cannabis friendly doctors. Find who's closest/cheapest. I go to Drs. Denny & Sullivan in Redding. Nice guys, but over-priced. If you are in a larger town, shop around- prices vary widely.

Now after you get an appointment, take your records and money ($250 will cover it) to the doctor's office. You will find it is very much like the first visit to any doctor's office. You fill out the paperwork, get weighed and all that jazz, talk with the doc, pay the receptionist and that's it! She will hand you a letter saying the doc believes that you would benefit from using cannabis..... and you are legal. :thumbsup:

You can now posses 8 ounces and grow 6 mature plants.

Basic advice....Keep your grow quiet! Rippers are hitting MMJ users. Enjoy that first "legal" joint- the high is unique! We don't have dispensaries out here in the boonies, so you'll have to get someone else to tell you about them. Remember you are still federally illegal!
