Well, now that all the above has been stated, I was referring to chronic illnesses. i.e. chronic pain, bi-polar (not yet allowed), and other life long ailments.

But frankly, cannabis was originally treated in the same light as aspirin and other over the counter medications. Its the false scheduling of cannabis that makes all the complications more complicated. And until the attitude toward it of being evil changes and the lies concerning it are refuted honestly, not much is going to change. I'd like to see a real, verifiable historical prescription that was written for cannabis prior to the prohibition that the government could use to support is false classification.

Now back to my original intent. I have degenerative arthritis, I just saw my orthopedic doc who wouldn't sign for me, but he confirmed that my condition will not change until I have a total joint replacement. Thirty to fifty thousand dollars. The same as THCF wrote when I got a non-expiring authorization. My current doctor's evaluation supports the one from THCF. And it would be a waste of medical payments spent when seeing the doctor regularly to tell me new joint, new joint (no pun intended) is a waste of health care funds regardless of who is paying them. And the same would apply to anyone with a chronic condition.

Why drive up health care costs when a condition is chronic just to pay $150+ every year? Makes no sense. Hence, cannabis should be treated as non-prescription over the counter medication. Take all the bullshit legal and LEO gymnastics out of it period. Just keep it simple. :jointsmile:
