I have no idea what the rules are in California.

How hard is it? Not hard at all if you have a LEGITIMATE medical reason to use cannabis. Most doctors offices will require documented history.

Documented medical history means you have a chronic condition that you've repeatedly sought medical help for. I was told my documented records could not be more than 1yr old. That means if I had a broken leg 3yrs ago and had pain - that don't count. If you currently happen to have brain cancer - but you don't have any current records showing continued doctors care and treatment - you got nuthin.

Bring copies of your records to the doctors office - because if you bring the originals - some of them will CHARGE you to make the copies in their office. I was told it would be $20 to copy my records. I had been warned about this and brought my own copies. Not getting $20 from me to make a couple dozen copies of paper.

Pay the doctors fee. Take the original copy of your prescription and fill out your state application - make copies of everything - get it all notarized and provide the necessary identification (copy of your drivers license) - include a check for the $90 registration fee and send it in via registered mail - save that receipt ........ and wait......... and wait......... and wait.......
