My brother lives in Colorado and he got a medical cannabis prescription card for

his IBS. He got the card and was directed to another level of the building where

they had types of marajuana. You illegal to buy or sell but you can possess and

grow small quantities (under 1 oz.) for medical use at home only. I know its the

same in California.

Thats about all I know about that issue. I wish they would legalize it for

medical use everywhere. I wouldn't use it but have a couple of friends w/MS and

cancer that it would really help.

This is an issue that has to be addressed with caution when typing to

a group.

If someone wants to post on this subject, please do NOT send in any

posts discussing any ILLEGAL use of the substance.

This group is not as private as we sometimes like to think it is.

It is not the same in California. It is legal under prop 215 for a patient

who either has a card or a prescription, to buy MMJ from a club or from a

caretaker who grows their medicine OR you are allowed to grow 6 plants

yourself. It's about 5 or 6 plants allowed per patient, so caregivers can

grow a lot more if they have more than one patient who needs the medicine.

Also, at a lot of the clubs depending on rules of the city, you can smoke at

the club. For example, the City of Berkeley here in the bay area, has been

listed as a Permanent Medical Marijuana City, meaning if all of the other

cities' clubs go out of business due to drug raids or high rent, Berkeley

will always have it available for whoever needs it.

So I prefer to go to my

Berkeley club compared to my Oakland club, where I cannot smoke at the club

and I'm forced to take the medicine off the property and go smoke it

someplace else, which is a pain. It's so nice to be able to go to the club

for a few hours, buy my medicine, go sit in the lounge, use their vaporizors

or water bongs, eat some fruit & hot tea, and watch a movie and talk to

other nice people. That is one of the big advantages of the clubs.

And as a

MMJ patient with a legal prescription, which weighs much more in value than

the card does, because if you get caught by the feds and go to court, the

doctor who you saw to get that card, which also cost you over $100, will not

come and defend you in court, as my doctor, who I see every 2-3 months and

provides not only my MMJ script but also my disability and whatever else I

need or want to try.

You have rights with a prescription and you cannot have

your medicine taken away from you or in most cases, if you have all the

legal paperwork, you will get your medicine back. Each state has their own

rules and regulations when it comes to MMJ.
