Wow ... I'm not sure where you guys are getting your info, but most of it's very flawed.

Okay, first off, shut up about the goddamn "pharmacy." Nobody said that. Somebody said "Co-op," which is where people who are legally (in the State's eyes) allowed to grow, grow. Now, some of these co-ops are much like the "clubs" in California. Let's take Washington for example, cause I live there. Now, you can get this paperwork straight from the state's Medical Association. Basically the language on the paperwork just says that the doctor is a doctor, is of sound mind, and honestly believes that the benefits outweigh the risks. Once he signs that piece of paper, you're legal. You can have up to 60 days worth at your house - still none allowed with you if you're out and about. And if you are out and about, hide it. The law protects those who are doing it responsibly in their home with a good reason. I'm in the process of getting this all set up for myself, actually. Now, in Washington we don't have the card and they don't keep track of who's legal and who's not. BUT, if you are, and you're caught, you can just show the paper work and get off scott free. That is, unless you're in FEDERAL trouble ... that's where it's illegal still. There's a list of things a doctor can recommend pot for, and no he cannot prescribe it (that's why the whole pharmacy thing irritated me). If you go to the co-op (Green Cross, in my area), you don't "purchase" your weed ... they friggin give it to you. Free. Well, not entirely free. But they don't ask you to pay for it. They do accept and encourage donations, but will NOT turn you away if you're broke. Personally, I am always very broke (negative money) by the end of every other week ... this is a very good thing for me, because I would be able to grab my stuff, and pay later. Or not at all, if I just can't. So that's how Washington's laws with that work ... whoever honestly thinks that all the med mj comes from the government and gets shipped out is slightly retarded, I'd say ... they only do that for 10 people last I checked. In the whole country. Well, I notarized a person's paperwork just earlier today. She has cancer. Now she gets free pot! So she can now eat comfortably, be in less pain, and worry less, and have less depression, and all around better quality of life. If a doctor won't sign one for you, try another doctor. Around here, most won't because they're afraid to risk their license ... basically all you need to do is clarify them on the law (they will NOT be at risk - in Washington anyway).


Why the hell did I say any of that? Fuck, man, just use the resources your local government so graciously gives you even though they don't really have to in the first place ... or at least not so easily. Shit, I'll do it FOR you. http://www.dhs.ca.gov/mmp/ . There. Go there. Follow links. Read up.

Cali's MMJ laws kind of suck compared to Washington's ... but Washington's are lesser known.
