You need a medical issue in order to get medical marijuana. They don't just give it to you for like a headache or something.

im guessin from your post that you dont have any kind of medical condition that would warrent getting a cc card, so dont try getting one. if people keep exploiting the system then cannabis will never become legal and the cc will get removed, so that people who genuinly need it for medical reasons cant get it as easy anymore, think of that next time your trying to find a loophole in the law

I read about some lawyer in CA who got a card to get medical marijuana for "stress relief". I'd say that pretty much opens the door for anyone, because who lives a completely stress-free life? And, for some people, probably even most people, marijuana really *is* a good stress reliever. Some people would probably consider that gaming the system, but who's to say whether someone's stress levels are 'bad enough' to warrant a marijuana prescription? Only the person dealing with the stress can really make that call.

What about a particularily nasty headache?!

For six years straight? Sure...

It's not nearly as easy or simple as some people can think it is. My uncle's been trying to get into the federal MMJ program for years now with MS, epilepsy and narcolepsy. ...and we're in Canada a supposedly more pot friendly country.

So you can see where i'm going with this..

a particularily nasty headache unfortunatly won't qualify you to legally use cannabis.

So.. we remain criminals for the time being..

Here in California, you have to go through the local county. Some counties are stricter than others. Traditionally counties WITH DISPENSARIES are easier to aquire the cards from than those that don't.
It takes all the excitement out of the industry... and the patients are shuned quite a bit, even by other smokers. REALLY, its treated as a REAL illness and who the hell wants to hang out with a sick person? Right. That's no fun. I like to have fun. See.

Yes, they do, alot of Doctors in California will hand out the cards cause they get Comp from said Club for issuing it. The entire Medical Marijuana Argument/scene is a scam.
Mtv did a little thing on marijuana clubs a few years ago, and they concluded most of the people that hang out in these clubs had no medical issues at all, just people looking to get high.

Actually you can get a recommendation for "a really bad headache". When I was 3 years old I was attacked by a kid with a hammer. I've got a half dozen dents in my skull and a sometimes painful, large "L" shaped scar in my scalp. A side effect of this attack was migraines and cluster headaches. At 19, I found cannabis eliminated the migraines and almost got rid of the cluster headaches. I am a California legal medical marijuana user. I am 59 years old. Please do not mess this up for me. If you are not a legit medical case, please go join NORML and be an activist. Don't fake an illness, just to smoke pot.

I too suffer from sever migraines/headaches and have tried everything and went to doctor after doctor and got "men donâ??t have migraines" to â??we donâ??t see anything that could be causing these" It take 3 or more Lortabs 7.5 to even touch one of my headaches, but I really donâ??t like taking anything man made. So I just deal with the pain. They last anywhere from 1 solid day to the one I have now its been going strong for 5 days now. I havenâ??t smoke in about 6 day...when I smoked my head aches never lasted more than a few hours and they were no where near as painful but I only got one 2 times a month if that and they were just a normal headache. Now when the THC is out of my system Its like I have 2 days a month with no pain. When I have a bad one I cant function properly. My mother dropped me (on my head) a few times as a child as well as letting my fall out of the stroller, high chair, and who knows what else. So I think that is the reason for my pain. I have been having bad ones since about 10 but I remember pain as young as 6. I live in FL so there is not that much hope to get a MED Card so I suffer day after dayâ?¦ But the drunk drivers get to drink it up day after dayâ?¦I see this as unfair and it makes me quit angry. So if you donâ??t have a problem donâ??t get a card it just make it that much harder for the ones who need it to get it, or even try and get their state to offer it. I just wish they could see all the good this plant could doâ?¦It gives people in constant pain a shot at a normal lifeâ?¦well thatâ??s all for nowâ?¦If it didnâ??t make sense Iâ??m sorry as I really canâ??t think through the pain.
