I'm really sorry about sounding like a hater with that title, but everyone has an opinion, or what they "think" the answer is. I've already got quite a few of those answers from friends, family, etc. I'm new to RIU, but so far most people seem to be very educated and supportive, so I'm hoping there is a California resident reading this post.
My daughter has had four knee surgeries since she was three years old. A fucking cactus is what started it all...one needle in the side of her little knee, cavity filled with poison and fluid, and stretched her miniscus so bad, it tore. And tore again, and again, and then finally was just removed. She is due for another surgery next year to put a cadaver part in her knee. She is a skater, surfer and volleyball player, and goes to bed crying 3 nights out of the week. Last year, I was so mad at the world for her, and desparate to help her, I bought some weed from my neighbor. (I don't smoke) My kid thought I was nuts, but she tried it. It actually worked...even I couldn't believe it.
Almost one year later, she is able to have an active life. It didn't change her...her grades are still great, and her circle of friends hasn't changed. (sorry...quoting those ridiculous public service things!)
Anyway, we moved from Arizona to Phoenix, partly for this reason...except that she has 8 months to go until she turns 18 and can get a prescription.
I do not like buying "off the street", and decided to grow for her, which I've already started.
So here is my question...I know that if I can find someone with a medical card, I can say I'm growing for them for the time being...but is there some sort of "registration" to do, or form, or what. Sorry to sound so naive, but I guess I am. I have googled this, but can only find a lot of legal jargon that I can't make sense of.
Anyone know how to go about this? I realize it's dishonest, but if I can find someone with a medical card in the first place, I would be happy to grow for them as well for the favor.
Thanks for listening!

Sorry about sounding dumb again...this is all new to me. How would I get a card if I don't actually need one? I mean, I don't have any injury, pain, disease, etc. Are the doctors here seriously just handing them out?!
Btw...thanks guys for replying so fast. I seriously love everyone on this forum!

You can get a card as a care-giver. You have to bring the card carrier w/you and tell the dr that the card carrier doesnt have room fer a grow, but you do!

Just a quick question, oh and "Soccer Mom Zoey", I think it's pretty good what you're doing, its nice to see someone who isn't brain washed by the media about "weed kills".

Anyway, The whole legal 'getting a card as a care-giver" thing, is that hard to do? Or if you just apply and give them someones card, they'll let you? I mean, won't they assume I just want to grow for myself, due to the fact that I'm a 19 year old guy, probably another stoner wanting to grow and sell weed? It seems like they'd assume that and make it hard to get a card to do this...Is that not the case? Or is it very simple to attain a card like this? Also, as far as getting a card to legally posses a certain amount of marijuana, is that hard to get as well?

I have had no need for a caregiver, or needed to be 1, so I honestly dont know what all it entails. I would assume that either A-you would have to live w/the patient, or B-have some sort of strong relationship w/said patient. Age discrimination is not tolerated in the medical field!
As far as obtaining a card for yerself, if ya live in a state w/medical laws, go to a Doc w/certs to sign the note, and have a valid DOCUMENTED medical reason, it should not be a prob @ all. I paid $135, brought my medical docs., he called to verify them, did an exam of my injured area, and that was it. It was like an additional $35 for the Oak card, as well

In California you have a few options.

If you are inclined, you can check out the actual legal descriptions for SB420 and Prop 215 yourself online. Just run a Google search and you should get a few good pages. Other good places to look for legal info are NORML.org and safeaccessnow.org

You should be able to either grow as a caretaker for your daughter, or, with your consent she should be able to get a medical recommendation. If you have decent medical insurance with low co-pays, fly the medical marijuana idea past your family or daughters doctor. Mention that it has improved symptoms, and you believe that it is an appropriate treatment as other remedies have not worked. Some doctors simply won't give out recommendations because of legal or ethical concerns.

If you don't have insurance, look up the nearest medical marijuana medical office. The docs there would be more than happy to offer your daughter a recommendation for a fee.
