Because many doctors do not really know what the law says and only listen to the controversy from our media about how it is legal, but not really, so most just ignore the Prop 215 law because they don't want to loose their job over actually helping a patient...good ol' American health care right hehe

I would recommend anybody interested in going legal that first they read Prob 215 and SB 420 so they know exactly what the law says. Your doctor is not a lawyer, so don't expect him to have read it. I didn't wait for my doctor to help me go legal, I came to him telling him what the law was and how it worked, but it didn't matter because he was obviously afraid of loosing his job, the dumb moron didn't even read Prop 215 and kept telling me he has never heard of any doctors prescribing marijuana. However, if his dumbass actually read the law, he would know that NOBODY prescribes marijuana in California, all he does is use his free speech to recommend marijuana use. Legally, he can't even tell me where to get it, so he has no chance of loosing his job unless Congress removes our freedom of speech from the constitution.

Anyway, I'm rambling now, but basically I told my doctor to shove it and went to one of those other doctors that charge about $150. I was expecting it to be a little shady, but the guy actually seemed to care about my health and know more than my primary doctor! He even recommended I don't smoke it, and instead, make it into a tea because I have Crohn's disease and it can heal inflamed parts of my stomach. So if your primary gives you any trouble, just get $150 and find a doctor that actually cares about your health!
