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!!!
