Both. Just because I don't have migraines 24/7 doesn't mean I don't need a card, and just because I have a card doesn't mean I can't also smoke recreationally. You make it sound like there is a limited supply of cards, and if I get one somebody else will have to suffer. That isn't even remotely true. Even if I was 100% healthy and lied to get a card that has absolutely no effect on anybody else. None what so ever.

It would be no problem for me to complain of a massive migraine every other day, and even if that isn't true no doctor could tell, and I could easily get a card. Notice my first post says "without lying". The bottom line is I have chronic severe pain, which most certainly does interfere with my life, and all the synthetic medications I have used come with undesired side effects. I also have half a dozen other valid medical problems which are cured with marijuana, and although they don't qualify me for a card, it's just as valid as any other reason as far as I'm concerned. I do not let the government tell me which medications are "valid" cures.

Bob.
Even though you claim to get them, you seem to know absolutely nothing about migraines. Yes, they DO give medical cards for migraines, that is not the question. The question is how do they determine which people with migraines get cards and which ones don't? Of course I've had serious medical help, that's why I know I have migraines. The definition of a migraine is a headache with no obvious cause (like a tumor) and no cure. There is also quite a lot of information online from credible sources that suggests marijuana is a good form of relief for migraines.
BigBlock Reviewed by BigBlock on . Will I qualify for a card? I live in OR, and I've been thinking about trying to get a medical card. I've been searching google trying to find detailed qualifications for the card in OR, but all I can find is "severe pain". I get migraines ocassionally, and have a prescription for it already. Do migraines fall into the severe pain category? My current prescription works just fine, and I don't get them that often. Will they only give it to severe cases where normal drugs don't work...or do I have a chance? (without lying) Rating: 5
