Ohh god I hope this passes. I think my back is starting to hurt too much to live with.

If this passes will we have to wait for mmj clinics to start popping and see a mmj dr? or could i go to lets say, bromenn hospital and get a prescription.

Well unfortunately the bill is pretty conservative. No there won't be clinics or dispensaries. You have to get a permit from the state health department and there's a limited list of who qualifies and a limited number of people allowed in the program.

If you qualify and get in then you have to grow your own and are limited to something like 6 plants and a 60 day supply of dried cannabis.

The language of the bill is being "looked over" to determine what a practical amount for a patients use in a 60 day period could be(the average per state to state is about 4 ounces, I also doubt they will limit the amount of people who can get the card, you will be able to go to a doctor even the "real doctor" you go to now, and if said doctor has cause to provide you with a recommendation to use cannabis to treat your symptoms as it says in the bill (not word for word but) pretty much if you get a headache once in a while then you wont get a card ONLY if your condition affects your day to day life,there attempt to structure the bill in this way may alienate some but will not keep out all the non medical patience. This will also be a trial period of 3 years any negative affects after 3 years will be taken into account when it is voted on again and be made permanent law. Please read the bill and keep your ear to the street and inform the ignorant

Just curious if you mispelled "democartes" by accident or on purpose? The later would have been quite clever if so intended.

Do you guys/gals think illinois will pass this and legaize medical marijuan? Or is it going to be defeated in the house or vetoed by the gov?
