Medical marijuana patients, check in!

[Zhade]

Tell us when you became one, what state you're in, and your malady, plus any thoughts you want to share.

I became one in August of last year, after learning from my doctor that the only reason I currently *don't* have glaucoma is because I've enjoyed the beneficial herb for the past five years, since shortly after my optometrist found I had very high pressure in my corneas.

I've found that it both helps my eyes and my insomnia problem, and I'm very glad the state of California is compassionate enough to let me take my medicine, but I think it should be legal for all.

(My current favorite I/S strain is Grape Ape.)

1. Wow, no loungers use this beneficial herb?

Frankly, I'm amazed. :D

[Fuzz]

2. I would, but can't get any.

:(

3. They're all off somewhere baked out of their minds. ;)

[Fuzz]

4. Mmmmm, if I remember properly, being baked makes me randy.

And that's always nice.

[Zhade]

[wildhorses]

7. how right you are and i hope that it never happens

[Zhade]

10. It should be legal for all!

It might have saved not just my eyes, but my life.

[SPKrazy]

16. Shhhhhhh!

agent mike

ehhh, screw agent mike

I get what ya mean

I wouldn't want to have to use it to save my sight or some such thing

just to have it prescribed for my mental health or something ya know?

8. They don't use it for "medical" per se

They usually use it for recreational reasons.

[Zhade]

9. Who's "they"? Are you dismissing our medical use of this beneficial herb?

Or am I misreading your post?

[sasquatch]

12. I'm not dismissing the medical use of herb

I'm just telling you most Duer's don't use it for medical reasons. I drink alot of tea but not for the medical reasons, I drink it because I like it.

[Zhade]

14. Oh, duh, most DUers - I thought you meant most patients.

Sorry, I just hear "medical marijuana is an end-run to legalization" crap a lot, I misinterpreted your statement.

My bad!

11. My dog has a script for her glaucoma in the Aloha state.

13. Just don't draw the ire of the feds

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_mcwilliams

A vocal supporter of medical cannabis due to being terminally ill with AIDS and cancer, McWilliams was investigated by the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency and convicted for violating federal marijuana laws, even though medical marijuana was legal under California state law.

I'm pretty sure it was the vocal part that pissed off the federal authorities.

[Roon]

15. I could be, I qualify

I just don't have the 200.00 a year it costs to have the permit.

[WindRavenX]

17. That's the only downside

My sister needs one--she has a busted knee-- and mj has helped her with pain management to the point where she is nearly painless.

on edit: it's actually 400/yr in OR.

18. how hard is it to get a valid card?

do you have to be suffering from a condition thats on a list of theirs, or just need a Dr's Rx?
