here is a list of California doctors that write marijuana recommendations ... http://www.canorml.org/prop/215physicians.html
the only hassles up here in northern California are the busts of 'dispensaries' and 'cannabis clubs' that are merely 'fronts' to sell pot ... that's just the facts, the dispensaries are a bad idea, their pot is usually shit, prices are high, and gangbangers are making the money ... the Feds are busting them occasionally, but not bothering home growers ... local authorities around here are quite supportive of the medical user, in fact ... the California Highway Patrol Commandant issued a press release months ago, that instructed officers to NOT confiscate MJ from traffic stops, unless the driver is under the influence ... if caught with pot, you are to be released, upon proof of medical status, and substances returned ... for the private, prescribed user, growing his own, there are generally no hassles, unless other crimes are involved ... local police have been to my home, with my plants in plain sight, etc... the police paid absolutely no attention to them, just a glance and a smile ... grow your own, smoke it in private, you won't be hassled ... carry a gun, sell dope, you will probably go to jail, as you should ... :smokin:
