No, under CA prop 215 section 2c it states the following:

"(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no physician in this state shall be punished, or denied any right or privilege, for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes."

I think you may be a little confused about how the process works nailhead. After all, you stated you aren't good at research and wanted your doctor to find out for you. The thing is, this isn't for your doctor it is for you. If he didn't know about medical marijuana laws to at least some degree you should ditch him as your physician anyways since he obviously doesn't stay up on current issues - regardless of if they affect him or not.

You could have seen your doc for crohns disease just as a regular checkup, making sure to get all your documentation and prescribed drugs. You then take this information and your id to a "special doctor" (whom by the way is the one that can issue you a script for MJ) and HE is the one who will evaluate your medical condition based on your records. You then take the script he writes you to your local dispensary and they issue you your medical marijuana card.

Wish me luck on becoming Legal :) Tomorrow is my doctor's appointment and I'm really hoping I can convince him to write me a recommendation for medical marijuana to ease my Crohn's disease symptoms. I don't think he will, but I'm very hopeful. I have been thinking about changing doctors anyway so if he doesn't write me this and I do change, I think when I look for a new doctor I'll try to find out his opinions on medical marijuana beforehand. I have a feeling he will just want to write me a prescription for some other Rating: 5
