Joining California Cannabis club (QUESTIONS)

[Bababooey]

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.

[ConcealedCulture]

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.

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!!!

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.

[ConcealedCulture]

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.

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?

[MikeE]

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

[Terrapin Flyer]

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.

[Terrapin Flyer]

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

[ninfan77]

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.

[Terrapin Flyer]

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.

[Terrapin Flyer]

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.

[Terrapin Flyer]

its not illegal anymore dumbass

[callinghome]

The feds are never going to back off when you have all these stoners complaining of mild back pain and smoking reefer for it.
Well I agree that bababooey isn't going to get it without a real diagnosis.
But I don't see what's wrong with treating mild backpain with a natural painkiller, seems sensible to me.

[Terrapin Flyer]

blame it on years of conditioning. look at it for what it is.

[Bababooey]

i never said the pain was mild

anyway, too many n00bs here, but Terrapin Flyer is cool. where in cali are you?

[Terrapin Flyer]

im up in redding, northern cali, right below shasta

[Terrapin Flyer]

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.

.

dont know what you know about cannabis clubs but your gonna pay close to 3 times the "street value" of what ever yer buying

[Skip]

Yup, Terrapin is right. Medical MJ thru the clubs is no deal. They charge top $ for it usually. I was in one in SD and the cheapest weed there was $275 an oz. Up in No. Cal I'm seeing $325 or so, and $14 a gram and up (hey they even have bubble and honey oil!). So how do you save $?

Also about medical conditions that qualify... If MJ helps you AT ALL, you should be able to use it. Yes I understand the need to keep these places open, but cannabis is some of the BEST medicine we have, and who wants to play Eichmann, deciding who gets medicine and who doesn't?

The compassion clubs are absolutely necessary, but only one step on the road to decriminalization. We must keep focused on the big picture which is not making criminals out of those who use it - FOR WHATEVER REASON!

There will always be those who think it should be illegal and who turn it into a political issue. But it's not solely a medical issue, either. Challenging the laws by breaking them - en masse - is the only way things will change. That is how it was done in Holland.

I'm not for handing out prescriptions to everyone, but if you have a legitimate medical concern, and you already know from experience that marijuana helps your condition, then it should be fine to get a script, even if there are other drugs to treat the condition. You shouldn't have to be on your deathbed to qualify.

You shouldn't have to be on your deathbed to qualify.I agree with this, but you should not be lieing to your doctor to get a prescription. A doctor attended college for 8-12 years, they are the judge of what the best treatment is. Obviously, if your seeing a doctor in hopes of medical marijuana, they don't think that marijuana has no medicinal value.

[ashbury1500haight]

so what exactly qualifies someone to be able to get a MMJ script ? It seems like something like that would be difficult to get because they wouldnt want a whole bunch of stoners trying to get one when they dont have a good reason too.

There's some doctors that you just pay a fee to visit and basically walk out able to get a card. I've never even been to cali, so of course, this is just what I've heard from people who have gotten cards.

[~MorningManiacMusic~]

Go for it!Don't listen to tainted...More like TAINT!!!

[TheOMFGNinja]

I am currently in the process of getting my MMJ stuff. I recently had to go to the hospital for my Asthma. I have done alot of research on Marijuana since I have been out of the hospital and have found that it actualy does help with Asthma (when used in the proper way)
Remember everyone, Marijuana is still ILLEGAL Federaly. The chances of you being Federaly busted for it arnt big, but it still is illegal no matter which way you slice it.

Consider Denver for a moment. The city legalized less than 1 oz. of MJ for adults over the age of 21.
But remember, Its still illegal according to State and Federal Law. Sure you could fight the case, maybe you will win, maybe you wont.
But in the big picture, its still illegal.

If your sitting there growing a whole bunch of plants and having pounds of Marijuana laying around, and then Feds knock on your door, you better hope to god you have more than a flimsy presecription written.

Anyway, as far as what is covered under the MMJ laws? Why not spend a few minutes and read the laws yourself.
Go Google the following two laws
"Prop 215"
and
"SB 420"

Prop 215 was the first law written, (and unless im mistaken) SB 420 was the ammendment to it, so SB 420 is more current and revised. But its important to see the prop 215 text first tho.

So, should a responsible person keep a liter of Jack and a carton of Marbolo's aroudn thier baby? Alot, of illegal shit is harmless. I don't think a few marijuana plants are going to hurt a baby.. at all.

[digitalldj]

your pathetic...leave the medical stuff for ppl who actually need it cause clearly u dont, and u have done NO research on any of the things u are even perscribing yourself

the last paragraph in your first post did it for me, along the lines of "i have chronic back pains but x-rays show nothing"

gee..u know why? because chronic back pain usually isnt caused by anything to do with your back u moron, and since u said that in the first place i highly doubt u even went to a doctor to be diagnosed because if there was nothing on the xrays he would have either refered u to somone to could make insoles for your shoes, or a chiropractor for muscle tension relief

clearly u dont know anything about any of the supposid claims u are using to try to get free weed, so dont even bother wasting your time

[WhisperingWoods]

They can prescribe marijuana for back pain? I have scholiosis on my lower spine, which causes daily back pain. I have had x-rays and plenty of doctor inspections of it, it's official that I have it. I've been to chiropractors which really don't do anything besides make me feel goofy for the rest of the day. Is this a reasonable cause for cannabis prescription? I hadn't heard about that until now.

bababooey did you get it

[steve704]

i have medical records dating back to early grade years with me having add and marijuana helps me calm down and focus... do you think i would be able to get a card?

[napolean inrags95]

weed really does help with add....i refuse to take adderall or ritalin for my condition, a few hits of chronic does the job much better, and it doesnt have the side effects of amphetamines.

i tried adderall for a month or two....it makes you paranoid, kills your appetite, and it makes you dick hibernate. plus its murder on your heat over the long term. just goes to show how intelligent the fda and dea are....lets give kids SPEED everyday, but keep marijauna illegal

[steve704]

ritalin is a class 2 drug with 90% of the same chemicals as cocaine

[SirTokesAlot]

can I see your sources steve?

[steve704]

just go on google and search up ritalin class 2 drug blah blah blah.... youll find many sources

I am age 35 & a card holder for California ID for medical bud.


I have chronic left side of face and left side of brain pain, why they dont know just woke up one day like this.

I paid $150 to see a doctor on a list and brought with me...........

A)State ID
B)Doctors records
C) I also took along with me all my painkillers and meds.

I got approved for it in less than 20mins and dad is caretaker.


Its also very open ended and just about anything can get you a card.

Bottom line is anyone with the money to see a doctor is approved.

[ILoveHose-n-Pumps]

As far as I can see everyone here has something wrong with them and can benifit from Herb. :) Everybody knows the restrictions on Herb are wrong. Its only because of the moral outrage of the publik over the prohibition of meds to sick Folk that Herb is state legal for meds. They just didnt know how to keep it illeagle without lookin like the DEVILS they are! I figure we gotta get as many people legally smokin the Herb respectfully so we can make it more normal. If ya cut your finger and smokin a li'l (or alot)of Herb makes ya feel beter who the fukks got the true voice to say ya cant and ya autta have a toxic pill of something much more dangerous instead? Fukkem all! If your concerned about bein a law abidin citizen then go ahead and do one thing but if your more concerned about doin the right thing then do another. Imma go an do another, and another, and another and another.... Dontcha unnerstand? We gotta get it threw their heads that Marijuana's good for whatever ails ya. Blessins on yas.. and Remember where the feds concerns come from, its not for your health, if it was Herb would be legal and 98% of the legal drugs on the market would be outlawed. Their concern comes from their interests in their wallets wich are padded by the offending partys wares. Its legal for the chemical and pharmicutical companys cause allot of their money goes to the feds.

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?Pick a more corrupt doctor. The club can and will point you towards one.

[medicalbud]

Go here for a list doctors and clubs in California

http://www.canorml.org/

I had to bring my doctor records and I took Painkillers I take too.

I take 340+ painkillers a month.

I always smoked pot and when I noticed it helped for many of my illness and side effects I went more pot and less pills and have life back.

Before the clubs it was $60-$80 a 8th in SF for top end from my club $45-$50 a 8th and they kick some to you alot.

Most clubs have all grades of weed from $10 a 8th to $60 a 8th its 10-20-30-40-45-50 a 8th my club.

I just buy by bud I pick.I dont ask for a 8th or qt I hand pick a few buds and pay.

Stress is enough for a card for anyone!
