Top Five Reasons To Get a Medical Marijuana Card
March 22nd, 2009


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 ourĀ 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?

    i dont know why they include prices trying to entice the people looking at this site. $35 for an eigth of shwag is one of the worst deals ive ever heard. i usually pay $30 and eigth for dank White Widow and purple kush. if youre trying to advocate getting a card dont advertise how over-priced clubs are.

    I can concur and empathize with all who have been deprived of relief.

    I too have been putting up with Rx narcotics that totally screwed my body and brain for 2 plus decades.
    I’ve got a card in the works but still have to deal in dark allies to get my meds at great cost to me, because they pay for the poisons invented in some pharmaceutical lab but not by mother nature.

    God forbid we should return to natural herbs, all those greed driven investors in pharma might not make that extra cash on our pain and misery.

    I’m all for nature, not only is it less traumatic to my system but the actual effects are system wide beneficial.

    I just got my club card!!! Awesome stuff guys. I think this is perfectly good for someone that is over 21 because I think it gives you a sense of maturity when it comes to owning one of these cards. I definetly got one after reading some of the posts on this website. I even bought a few shirts. Check out http://www.maryjaneshirts.com/political/medical-marijuana.php for some great medical shirts, they also have tons of shirts of different clinics in the area.

    My daughter has CVS (cyclic vomiting syndrome). It is very misunderstood disease that has been compared to a “migraine of the stomach.”

    Although I am a substance abuse counselor, I see no reason why marijuana is not legal for medical conditions such as hers. Instead, she takes Dilaudid, Trazadone, Klonopin, and other anti-depressants to deal with her symptoms. Some doctors who are unfamiliar with the disease think she is just looking for drugs when she goes to the emergency room screaming in pain and throwing her guts up! But then other doctors think it is OK to get her on all those powerful medications. What kind of system is this, anyway?

  10. Patrick Harris says:

    I think that most people who are against marijuana for medicinal purposes or otherwise are basing their judgment on the “illegal” status of marijuana as a whole. This logic is very flawed. While marijuana may be deemed illegal I would argue that alcohol and tobacco are far far more dangerous to society in terms of health risks,reckless behavior,not to mention the countless people who are killed daily by drunk drivers. These are empirical facts,indisputable.

    Those that think otherwise are looking at this issue through a very narrow lens. While some people do get cards who probably don’t need them at least that is one less person to be incarcerated and one less(non-violent)criminal our tax paying dollars will have to support. In the end “we the people” need to use some critical thinking in order to properly understand the benefits from not only decriminalization but also the proven medicinal benefits. This is not to mention the millions and millions of dollars in tax revenue this will create for states.

    I urge anyone who is against med grass or marijuana as a whole to take a honest unbiased approach to researching the facts. Hopefully this will change your perspective, because in the end “we the people” must become proactive with this issue and others(solar)if we are going to turn the corner in this country and start creating a new economy for this country…

    hhhmmm,Well,my thoughts on this are confusing.

    If I lived in California it would be okay. I’ve watched the channels, saw mendicino. I’m in Texas. I’m an ex vet. I have been diagnosed with severe depression, hep c, panic attacks, ptsd, carpel tunnel, lower back problems, copd, emphysema, I have a syst in my right kidney, Melinoma, My feet are bad, my eyes are bad and I can’t be in the sun because of the meds, and I had a heat stroke, everything changed.

    And to top it off, I’ve had Tourette syndrome since birth and add. The business of our Health systems versus solving the problem, instead of treating the symptoms seems to be about money. So 3 times I’ve been busted. Do I fit the requirements for a medical marijuana card, because I’d rather toke than take all the drugs the veterans admin are trying to kill me with?

    “Our government needs to get a better grip on what they are actually doing to our society”

    So true, the laws that restrict marijuana use are FAR FAR more harmful to society than the actual pot.

    Jailing people for consensual crimes that harm no one but the user should be labeled cruel and unusual punishment.

    AND ask any teenage and you’ll get the same reply, getting pot (cause it’s illegal) is far easier for them than getting alcohol or cigarettes.

    I just got my card after signing up for this site that helps people get their medical marijuana cards. It’s http://www.medicalmarijuanalifestyle.com. Their newsletter is pretty cool too if you smoke medical marijuana.

  14. Heather says:

    I think the concept behind medical marijuana is such a crock.

    At least here in my state, it is a way of legalizing it without actually legalizing it. It seems that everyone who lives in a state that has the ability to get a medical marijuana card is getting one. Claiming a variety of ailments from severe pain to muscle spasms.

    Granted there is part of our population that needs it to function and I am all for it, but what it comes down to is that each person who is claiming “severe-pain” when in fact they are suffering from minor headaches or body aches are breaking the law. Our government needs to get a better grip on what they are actually doing to our society.

    Also, once you sign up for a medical marijuana card, your name is on the government’s list forever! There is no turning back. Employers can fire you for testing positive, even if you do possess this magical card.

    Dispensaries are making a ton of money by selling pot to people who do not need it. If you want marijuana and you are not truly a candidate for a “card” go and support the little person! I am all for smoking, but not when you are frauding the government! Makes me so angry!!

    Freaking Texas! I suffer everyday with headaches, depression and fibromyalgia only to be treated like a felon to get relief.

    I do not get to smoke often because I do not like dealing with the unsavory characters who sell the herb. (much less the cost!)

    COME ON TEXAS!!! Quit breeding the selfish, money grubbing losers we put into the White House and OPEN YOUR EYES to helping out those who are suffering!! I AM NOT A CRIMINAL!!!!!
