Joining California Cannabis club (QUESTIONS)

Okay so, I'm paying $120 (cheapest I could find, locally) to be evaluated for medical marijuana. They want me to show up with my medical records, or with a letter from my doctor diagnosing me. The case I'm gonna claim is that I have chronic back pain, I'm pretty skinny, so I'm gonna say I may have anorexia, will throw in migrane headaches, with a little taste of depression... some of it is actually true, so I've got a strong case, but I don't have shit like that on medical records, 'cause I've never tried to be diagnosed with anything, and I'm not sure exactly what to do... I'm thinking just go to my doctors office, and request a copy of my records, then take it to this cannabis place, and explain anything else that the papers don't mention... I'm just afraid that might not work... I don't have medical, so I can't even have my doctor diagnose me, so my other option is to find a free clinic, go there, and get diagnosed..... but can I still really be diagnosed with something I don't have? Also, I really do have back pain, but everytime I've got my back X-Ray'd and shit, they've said there is nothing wrong there... but its just pain, and weed helps. Any thoughts and/or advice?

 

It is my opinion that, if you do not have a legitmate reason to use medical marijuana, then you should not apply to use it.
This can send a very wrong message to the government that they should not allow medical marijuana because people are trying to manipulate the system so they can smoke legally and for cheap.

Without official medical records that would prove you have all those ailments, you don't have a chance of becoming a recipiant of MM.

 

I agree with mellow. Its not right to blatantly lie about a medical condition so you can go to the clubs, which are meant for sick people. Its not like it is hard to find buds in LA, and you dont get in trouble there. If you actually had depression, that would be different. Too many people are taking advantage of california's encompassing mmj law.

 

Why your at it,why dont ya join the millions in cali that collect welfare because their to lazy to work.What your claiming to do is no better.

 

Nah bro, I actually do have some of those problems, but I don't really need weed for it, but it couldn't hurt... It'd be great to have it legally, and much more and cheaper, and all kinds of weed, and foods and shit you can think of... it's heaven!!!

 

Medical Marijuana should only be used by people that TRULEY need it. The feds are never going to back off when you have all these stoners complaining of mild back pain and smoking reefer for it. People like you are the reason truley sick people can't get the help they deserve. Asshole

 

oh shut up, i qualify as one of those people, i'm just not a pussy and deal with my problems without medication, but if the medication means weed, i want it... plus, only stoners are in the cannabis club, only potheads join it, people with problems who it might help for take pills for their shit, they dont join a club for weed... and frankly, the people running the club don't care... there is an unspoken agreement.

 

If you did qualify as one of those people, you wouldnt call someone a pussy for needing medicine. You came on here asking for advice, then get all arrogant when it isnt what you wanted to hear.

Go fuck yourself.

 

thanks for the interesting point of view, screech

 

Some of it is actually true... You just proved my fucking point.
Did I ever say that I agree with the people that are in the cannabis clubs that are just potheads looking for an excuse to get high legally? No. They shouldn't be doing that either. They are contributing to a problem JUST LIKE YOU. The people running the clubs aren't the ones making the laws and busting up co-ops. You know, the more people do this, the more the Federal Government is going to turn around and say, look at all these people cheating the system, medical marijuana increases marijuana use because there is a legal way to obtain it yadda yadda. There are people that can benfiet from medical marijuana GREATLY. Your trying to figure out what ailments your going to claim you have to get medical marijuana. Don't fucking try and tell me you have an excuse to use it, YOUR LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE.

Oh, and in response to that pills comment. No they don't. Marinol is not nearly as effective as smoking the plant. Marinol only contains THC, there's a ton of other cannabanoids in the plant that Marinol doesn't contain.

 

If your MJ doctor is like the one who wrote a script for a friend of mine, you should get copies from your other doctor and bring them to the MJ doctor. The MJ doctor will have their own proceedures about treating you and taking your medical history. If you have problems getting the documents together, your MJ doctor's office would be able to help. Your MJ doc will probably want a copy of the report about your X-rays. It might not be with your normal doc, you may have to track down the X-ray clinic. Medical records are such a pain to gather.

Oh, one more thing, the doctor and his note is NOT joining a club. The doc can't supply you with pot (law). The club is another step after you got the script.

I'm only familiar with the Oakland CBC. They don't sell you anything, but they do give you a card for the local stores. This card is NOT the doctor's note that you need to have on your person or posted by your grow. The card does not have any legal standing, it just verifies to the sellers that you have a script. (The OCBC may have changed in the last two years, if you are told different from what I wrote, believe them not me.)

 

what do you mean by script?

 

By script, I mean the note that the doctor writes saying that you have a medical condition and that marijuana will help that condition.

 

ya know what, all you stupid fucks who dont even live in california.
. im gonna walk around with it anyway regardless of what state im in. im gonna grow it regardless of what state im in, but seeing as how im living in california at the moment why not have a little peice of paper in my pocket that says " you can carry up to three pounds harvested? a peice of paper on my growroom door that states i can grow up to twelve indoor and twelve outdoor plants on my prescription. or i can be a dumbass and not get the med card and go to jail for my ignorance. goddamn it you east coast kids are oblivious to what is going on out here.

 

dont be jeleous that arnold lets us get away with the herb.

 

So you'd rather exploit the system, and be front page news for the conservative media. "MMJ abused, told you so".

Some of us on the east coast would kill for the chance to be a member of a compassion club. Personally, i have advanced glaucoma, scar tissue, and ever growing blood vessels THRU my eye. Think it hurts? You're damn right. Ive been thru 2 surgeries to remove scar tissue and trim the vessels. Ever feel the needles being put in your eye? Ever feel the surgeon tugging at it while he sews it up?

MJ eases the pain, and keeps the throbbing behind my eye down to a dullness i can deal with. Stop abusing the system and saying "if its here, i'll take advantage of it" Because it can EASILY be gone again. Wanker.

 

yea lets throw a pitty party for you. boo-fucking-hoo. who are you to determine if i should have medical marijuana prescription? and if yer in so much fucking pain why dont you push for med pot in yer state? in this day and age from what i have learned from my experience with the law and loop holes, you have to use the system against itself to get what you want. i know im a pot head. i know i like to grow it and smoke it. i also have a baby on the way wich is what made me get my med card in the first place. id be a fucking idiot to grow with a baby in the house and not have a med card. you dont think the times are changing? the only reason pot has been illegal for so long is that the man couldnt make money off it. and now that they've found a way to make money off it its slowly but surely becoming more tolerated. more states are considering med laws. industrial hemp growing is allowed in california now too. your east coast senators and congressmen will see the light eventually too. if yer state had med laws would you have a card brother barely?at this point in my life im not willing to be a martyr for a plant that i can get away with growing. get real douchebag.

 

Take your head out of your ass before you try to talk. Pot isn't illegal because they couldn't make money off it, it was one of America's top cash crops for a LONG time. From what I understand, a competing paper company wanted to eliminate hemp from their competition, had strong political ties, and pushed for it to be illegal. Ninfan is ABSOLUTELY right. Medical Marijuana isn't going to be around for the people that need it if people keep abusing it... There have been so many co-op raids in california lately.
Want to be responsible, how about instead of not growing pot around the baby, you don't KEEP pot around the baby. Illegal drugs have no place around children, period.

 

is it morrally wrong to have pot around a baby?or legally wrong? look at all the other cultures who have been using the herb for thousands of years. do you think they feel bad about having herb around theyre kids? doubt it. and what do we have to feel bad about? i know im not going to go to jail for my 12 plants becasue im LEGALLY ALLOWED TO GROW. now if i wasnt legally allowed i might feel a little different casue 12 plants under any other circimstances is jail time for sure. the worst that can happen to me is my plants get taken by the federal government. it wont be california who comes to get my plants. i dont know why im arguing with a 17 year old from conneticut. come to california and see if you dont get a med card after getting enough bullshit from the law for having a green plant.
