You need to live in a MMJ friendly state. If you are in California you just need something that cannabis provides relief for. In other states you need more "serious" conditions. I get my medicine soley for mental conditions, nothing physical.

Ill share my recent experience with medical cards.

I live in TX, the laws have just changed here btw, but not good enough. (you can get ticketed now for having up to 4 oz or less on you if the officer chooses.) But I need to GROW legally, and thats a long way off here in tx. So here are my medical conditions. I shattered my clavicle in a motorcycle reck when I was 15 going about 80 miles per hour. I highsided and im lucky to be alive. I got addicted to vikedent and percocet after 3 surgeries and yrs in pain. The viks and percs did horrible things to my body, and made it hard to eat and sleep eventually. i lost 30 pounds, and started having panic attacks from all the meds they had me on. So what do the docs do to "help" me with the panic attacks?..... They give me more pills, this time zanex to calm me down. These little devils will make you cold as ice. I could have watched my mother die right in front of me and it would not have bothered me at all. I eventually stopped taking the pills and replaced them ALL with cannabis. It helps in MANY different departments that i had to take various different pills for other wise.

So I contacted a doctor in CO and he sent me a app for the card and he said that I would more than likely qualify for the card due to my extensive medical records going back for yrs on trying to treat the pain from the surgeries. I plan on moving to CO when things make sense for me and my family and job situation, but for now Ill just have to keep doing it illegally to medicate my self. One day ill be able to live my life with out fear that the medicine that works best for me, that I use at home, will not put me in jail for the rest of my life.

Your going to need medical record that proves your condition real. As long as you have that, your good to go.

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?!

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.
