A marijuana doctor in your state will be able to help you to get a medical marijuana card which allows you to purchase medical marijuana. Post your requirements to our marijuana cards and doctors forum.
1) Legal Protection – If you’re already using cannabis without a medical marijuana card, you are breaking both state and federal law and as such are subject to the ridiculously harsh penalties many states impose on marijuana users. Even if you’re using cannabis as a legitimate treatment of disease, you are still breaking state law if you don’t have a medical marijuana prescription from a licensed doctor.
One of the best parts about being a card-carrying MMJ patient is that you are afforded full legal protection under the states medical marijuana laws. This means when you get pulled over for a routine speeding ticket and the cops ask you to search your car, you can allow them to search with no fear of being taken to jail or having your valuable medicine being confiscated. The law is on your side now, but only if you have a medical marijuana card!
We even have a state-by-state listing of how to get your medical marijuana card!
2) Marijuana is an extremely effective medicine – At this point, its hard to dispute the medicinal value of cannabis. It seems to be the only substance on Earth that can cure the painful nausea caused by chemotherapy, greatly retard the onset of blindness from glaucoma and relieve depression without destroying your bodies chemical balance – all with zero negative long-term side effects. Marijuana is a wonder drug that’s been used as an effective medicine dating back at least 6,000 years.
3) The golden ticket into medical marijuana dispensaries - Another incredibly cool thing about having your medical marijuana card is that it allows you access into medical marijuana dispensaries (aka cannabis clubs). In California alone, there are over five hundred medical marijuana dispensaries eager to serve the needs of its patients.
Going into a medical marijuana dispensary in California is almost like going to a coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Many retailers have dozens of cannabis strains to choose from, ranging from high end buds like White Widow, AK-47 and northern lights to mid-range chronic, all the way down to $35 for an eighth ounce schwag. Some even offer rooms with Volcano vaporizers in them, so you can safely medicate with fellow patients.
4) You can grow you’re own – With your medical marijuana card, not only can you legally buy medical cannabis, concentrates like bubble hash and hash oil, delicious edibles, tinctures and crazy tainted sodas but you can also legally grow your own pot!
The State of California allows any valid medical marijuana patient to have up to six mature plants growing at one time. This amount is fairly generous, considering that up to 4 lbs of dried flower can be harvested from a single 6′ outdoor cannabis indica plant.
Growing your own medical cannabis is not only fun, but also a good way to save money on medicine in this current economic recession.
5) It’s good enough for Johnny Drama, so isn’t it good enough for you?

Hi,
It really amazed me the advantages of having this medicinal marijuana card. At first, i just only imagined that you can buy medicinal marijuana by having it.
Having medicinal marijuana card is really a big help especially for the ill who really required it the most. Thanks for the details, now many can have it handily.

its crazy to me how easy it is for someone to get a card.
In my city you pay $35 and they sign their name. SO many people have a medi card that really don’t need one in the first place. I’ve had mine for a while and so many people close to me don’t even know.
Then you have the people who flash it around like a kid with a lifetime pass to Disneyland. Wonder why its so taboo or hush hush. Stupid people have turned it into a joke and its really not.
I live in a state where marijuana is still illegal. How could I go about getting a card?
Could I go to CA and get one but then I’d have to go to Cali for green. And what are the requirements for a card? I have high stress levels and depression. And marijuana helps so much.
Sincerely,
The kid who needs green
yea sounds nice but thats not how it works in my town.
In Reedley Ca. the p.d. will take any and all weed. the cops found a can of butain in my apt and a also found a 3g of hash oil which they are charging me with manufacturing a controlled substance. they also found 2 clones budding and 2 bags with obviously 2 diff types of weed in them so they are also charging me with poss. for sales, cultivation, poss. controlled sub.(hash oil) and they are charging myself and my brother with all this b.s. When our room mate is a legit current card holder how is that?
Great post, people need this. If any of you are from Michigan, come visit our community.

Wow, I had no idea you were actually allowed to grow your own with the card? I’m surprised at the amount you are allowed to grow too! That seems like much more than one person should be using. Seems like they would be afraid you’d be selling it illegally.
Well, you have to consider the many vairables with that amount.
Personally, I can use 1 ounce of outstanding bud in 3 weeks. Well, outdoors, it takes 5 months to grow it if you want big plants like the one mentioned above. So, you can do the math, that’s approximately 17.33 ounces per year. Or just over 1 pound.
Your gonna have seasons when your crops will suffer, and yeild considerable less. You just are not allowed to sell it. There are no laws about sharing some with a friend who is a card holder. Most importantly, if your gonna make cannabutter, or hash/hash oil, it takes a lot of good buds to make a little hash and hash oil. I believe that will be the way most people will use it in the years to come, eliminating any damage to your lungs. Hope you understand better why you consider that amount generous.

Yes I agree with Medical Marijuana Advocate.
It may seem like a large amount…but for a daily marijuana smoker to smoke only one pound in a year is very easy. He also has a good point with baking weed. because when you do so it wastes a lot more weed to make the butter…. Another good alternative for your lungs is a vaporizer.
It heats up the weed instead of burning it which is way healthier for your lungs. You also do not have to use as much weed to get high using a vape, so it saves copious amounts of weed.
It’s incredibly important to obtain your medical although it is still not total protection as already stated. On numerous occasions during bogus searches during traffic stops it has saved my tail from getting a record.
But not only is the doctors recommendation important but it’s even more important to keep your card current. Without a UP TO DATE prescription your just like anyone else and in California hopefully you won’t be carrying anymore then an ounce. My brother was caught with a qp and his card expired and was charged with intent to sale and had to jump through hoops to get out of trouble.

i saw Dr. Lambert and she had no care for my needs just wanted her $250.
Actually, number 1 on your list is untrue in Washington State. There is no protection against arrest in WA State. There is what is called ‘an affirmative defense’ for medical cannabis patients in WA State. In fact, you can get arrested, prosecuted, and in some cases you might still be found guilty if your medical cannabis authorization is found to be faulty, illegitimate, or fallible by the judge (judge’s call, I’m afraid). Unfortunately, there is no free pass and this is why you must be careful of who authorizes you and how you act post-authorization.
For sure, some people would raise an eyebrow regarding issues about medical marijuana. However, if it can be as effective as an ergonomic chair, then I don’t see any reason why it should not be given a try.
