Yes, California has exploded with legal Medical Marijuana Collectives that provide consistent, high quality medicine to qualified patients. A prescription may be attained at numerous doctors offices around the state and is usually costs 100-200 dollars. Proposition 215 was passed in the late 90's and Senate Bill 420(limiting the number of plants you may grow) was later passed.

Answer 2

No, they don't.

There are all kinds of misconceptions about medical marijuana. Only 13 states have legalized cannabis for medicinal purposes, and only two of those states have medical dispensaries where patients can purchase cannabis. A doctor cannot prescribe you cannabis. He can formally recommend it, and suggest you use it in his notes, but you don't get a prescription to go pick some up at the pharmacy. Medical patients still have to buy illegally from weed dealers. Although 13 states have legalized medical cannabis, the federal government refuses to recognize these laws and can still arrest and charge you on a federal level even if you're protected under state laws.

Answer 3

Yes you can.. they are called medical cards. I live in Oregon and I i see a commercial for it every 10 minutes. You can obtain one by having a sleep disorder, eating disorder, some chronic pain issues and stuff like that. You can also obtain a growers card where you can legally grow marijuana for a friend who has a medical card or if you have one.

Answer 4

Yes, marijuana is a useful treatment for a number of medical problems, including nausea, and glaucoma. Doctors can prescribe it. However, laws do vary in different jurisdictions. Marijuana is available for medical purposes in some locations, and not in others. The nation of Uruguay recently legalized marijuana completely, so in that country you can use it for whatever reason you wish.
