I started smoking marijuana again after 10yrs. It helped me to relief intense pain. I still suffer with everyday.Now I am looking to purchase it online.It has really lot of benefits….
i suffer from glaucoma and would like to get a card to purchase legal medical marijuana.
I have anger problims i am14 and they have ben roning my life i live in Wi i need medical weed pils do not help me.what do i do?
not much as of now you must wait until you are of legal age and if your state hasn’t legalized medical marijuana than you may have to wait longer or move to a state where it has been legalized. i know this isn’t much help but you’ll have to wait a couple years anyways until you are of legal age. in most states they don’t give medical marijuana card for anger issues. its usually for chronic pain or the many diseases, but in California your condition may qualify for they are more lenient about marijuana laws.hope this helped you some and i hope i didnt reply too late!!!!:)

Before you visit the doctor, make sure you check out his/her license with the medical board and make sure they are legitimate. There are alot of fly by “docs” in this industry. It is simple to do with a google search.
Best of luck to everyone looking for a doctor
wow great.. i like it!
Eh?
wat up foo wat u doing smoking weed
I live in North Arizona and I need help.
I hurt my back in 2008 by falling of the top of a ladder and have had problems since. Then in 2009 I put my back out trying to help move a popup camper into a garage. I hurt all the time. I have been to a doctor and a chiropractor once each. The doctor just wanted to put me on pills and the chiropractor wanted me to come back on a daily basis for adjustments. He gave me one and it made the pain worse. I do not qualify for state assistance and can not afford insurance costs.
So, I only go to the doctor if I absolutely have to. That being the case I do not have medical records for three years. Can someone please help me I do not know what to do?
I do not want to be on pills all my life and I have to be able to function so I can take care of my family. I am desperate.
I will be moving to DC from CA at the end of August 2011. I will not have a doctor & limited insurance when I arrive. I have a note from my doctor and a CA Medical Cannabis Card.
I would like to know if I can use these to obtain a medical card in DC?
Unfortunately no, you cannot use your CA recommendation in Washington D.C. While D.C. does have a program on the books the only distribution system they allow is through city run dispensaries which have only recently (Oct 3rd) been allowed to submit paperwork for consideration.
I do not believe any doctors are providing recommendations at this time though considering the law (B18-622) has been on the books since 1998 they seem to finally be making some progress with the dispensary applications

I live in FL and I wish they would bring medicinal cannabis here. However it doesn’t seem likely to ever happen due in part to the drug companies dispensing here.
Honestly it is probably just as easy here to get oxys roxys percs xanax u name it as it is to get medicinal cannabis where it is legalised. Everywhere you drive there are “pain Management” offices which u basically just go and pay a Dr about $100 and he writes prescriptions for whatever you want. Btw I personally don’t do painkillers but living here at-least 60% of the people I know do.
It’s sick and with all these old people here they could probably substitute 75% of meds for medicinal, but the drug co. Aren’t about to let that happen.
someone above was asking if you would get in trouble if you had a marijuana card but were caught in a non med state. YOU WILL GET IN TROUBLE. please don’t put yourself in that position. Your card is only valid in the state you got it in. please be careful.
as many have said please know that your medical card is ONLY valid in the state that you get it in. You can no go out of state with it. also please consider healthier methods of smoking like vaporizing. Read vaporizer reviews to learn about them and if you have the money certainly check out a volcano vaporizer review because it is by far the best on the market.
PA really does need to get this. Im hoping to get a license from Delaware but from what I hear you must be a resident for at least 30 days.
I live in va and have many mental problems. Ba enough I get I check for it I shake all the time and have too much energy. I’d like to get a medical card but va is very uptight. Would I need to move to ca for a better chance? My headaches are really bad every day so I’d like some tips if ya got any.
look into (neuro cranial restructuring) or (funcional cranial release).

I love this site, soooo many awesome articles on here! I went searching for a place to get my AZ medical marijuana cards after reading this article. Found a cool service that refers people to docs at http://cannabisdoctorsnetwork.com/medical-marijuana-cards.php. Was wondering if anyone has used a referral service before to find docs in AZ for pot; or if they know of any good docs I can see before I use a service.

Only a small number of applicants who attempt to get a medical marijuana card in California succeed. The Medical Marijuana movement has been growing in numbers and it is spreading across the country.
that is not correct, most are approved very easily. In california, virtually any condition is approved.
as long as there is a valid prescription for a medication for any condition, the patient is approved 99% of the time.
I have post polio. there is no cure no treatment, no hope.i have eaten marijuana for fifteen years. it helps me a great deal.
If you need to act fast smoke it. It will not last as long as eating/baking it but it is amazing!!!

Hey Tim,
Very well said and from a very interesting pov. Kinda makes you wonder if some of our brilliant politicians have given thought to your view already. Problem I suspect we’re having is they cant figure out how to regulate it to their advantage. Thus u and I get penalized when caught without a card. Just a thought ” may be cheaper not to legalize”
Just learned about two weeks ago I could have cancer PA please legalize soon for people like me who may actually need it!
you can get a medical marijuana card in every state you just have to know where to look.

I love smoking weed! Its more of a life style for me. I use it for good use. When I can’t get to bed at night I’ll roll a joint or pack a bowl and I’ll be to sleep no longer than a half hour to be passed out til morning. I wish I didn’t have to hide it as much as I do so put the good word out for the 312, Illinois, Chi-town you know where’s it at!!
When I was in school i experimented with marijuana and contrary yo published expectations my GPA skyrocketed.I used for several years. but eventually gave it up,due to random drug testing for employment.
I have since been seriously injured,and currently take hard narcotics legally.I often wonder if by returning to marijuana use I could reduce and or eliminate the need for vicodin and or percocett,unfortunately I am not in a liberal or even a compassionate state, in fact from what i understand my state Florida, is the worst.
I believe Marijuana should be legalized taxed and used to provide better education. Current laws prevent someone that may have a problem with addiction from seeking help! it is most likely that a lot of addicts started using drugs for fun and or in defiance.Americans are first taught that this is America and we can do anything,we then are told you cant do that,as Americans our first thought is yes we can. We are (Amer I Cans) Not (Amer I Can Nots).
Addiction to drugs is a serious problem not just here but everywhere. Addictions kill a lot of people and also finance Black Markets legalization would take away the Black Markets and also reduce the world wide addiction problems; An addict with an unlimited supply of “dope’ will do one of two things, die or get tired of whatever substance they are addicted to and quit. This is a harsh reality, but nevertheless a reality!
yay for az one more step to legalization for rec use
my name Miles Nodrgen and i live in alabama. here it is not legal to smoke marijuana. i play football at bsc and have chronic pains along with eating problems. i am never hungry and am always hurting. i need something to relieve my pain and help me to eat. im losing weight! please alabama legalize marijuana for the many suffering citizens like me.

I have muliple sclerosis and I’m in a lot of pain but it is illegal for me to purchase or use marijuana for medical reasons here in the state of Pennsylvania. When will this backward state allow its medically challenged patients to use medical marijuana?
Wisconsin needs this! However, after this year republicans will be taking over and then were screwed. I think its funny how they will prescribe synthetic heroine to people but not cannabis. Hmmm wonder which one has more side effects. Oh that’s right cannabis doesn’t have any!
How do a get a card for Medical Marijuana in Nevada ? and where do I get an application ? I have degenitive Arthritis of the spine, and wish to stop taking pills for it.
the legalization of weed should be in every state not just those few states. Arizona should allow the legaalizaiton because they do provide medical marijuana for some people but yet it is not legal.

I have a question. IF you are a legalized patient from another state, and have your RX for pot, and are “caught” with it on your possession in a state where medical marijuana is NOT legal; can you be in legal trouble, or do they have to honor the fact that you are permited to have medical marijuana in your home state? Just curious. Anyone know?
Dont leave your state were your card is trust me I went home to visit the folks and was caught. With my herb and they threw my card away
