Not sure where you are Bob, but here in California migraines do qualify. Below is an excerpt directly from the State website:

"Q: What serious medical condition(s) do I need to have to qualify for a MMIC?

A: A serious medical condition, as defined by SB 420, is any of the following: AIDS; anorexia; arthritis; cachexia (wasting syndrome); cancer; chronic pain; glaucoma; migraine; persistent muscle spasms (i.e., spasms associated with multiple sclerosis); seizures (i.e., epileptic seizures); severe nausea; any other chronic or persistent medical symptom that either substantially limits a personā??s ability to conduct one or more of major life activities as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or if not alleviated, may cause serious harm to the personā??s safety, physical, or mental health. "

The real question would seem to be not whether he could get a card, but whether he should. As Nochowder put it "So do you want medical marijuana for actual pain, or just to get high for legal? " I've been asking myself the same thing recently. I get severe muscle spasms in my back, once every other month or so, that are extremely painful and last about a week. OTC pain relivers don't help much but the prescription muscle relaxants the doc gave me do. The only problem is that they put me to sleep so there's no way I can use them during the day. Even if I only use them at night, I still feel pretty zonked the next day.

I know that marijuana provides a lot of relief for my condition and typically that's what I end up using, although illegally. I know I can get a Doc's recomendation but I'm not sure if I should. I've been asking myself "is it abuse of the system to get it for something that only effects me for a week or so ever two months?" On the one hand I think "yes" because it's not like I couldn't live without it. On the other hand, it does help me better than anything else and isn't it just another prescription? After all, possession and use of the prescription muscle relaxants without a prescrition is illegal too, right?

What do you think??
