Sorry, but that is bad info, jamessr. Cannabis is a Schedule 1 drug, meaning that it has no legitimate medical use and can therefore not be prescribed as medicine by a doctor. California has a loophole where doctor's can "recommend" it under state law to treat a myriad of illness (as it effectively does as we well know), but since it has "no recognized medical use" by the feds (Schedule 1), it cannot be prescribed, and therefore is not the same as a prescription. A bill passed through the state government in CA to protect MMJ patients from the repercussions of testing positive for THC in drug tests, but the Governator vetoed it for some stupid, stupid reason. Unfortunately you may be out of luck AmeriSkunk. Also, how did you get caught cultivating anyways, if you don't mind me asking?
