Need to be filled in a tiny bit about mmj

**hellohappinesss** · 12-06-2011, 02:32 AM

I'm in new york but about to move out west come the spring time. I feel like a lot of us east coasters nowhere near an mmj state are a little naive about what the situation really is.. is an mmj card really something a lot of people receive for having minimal - almost bs symptoms? I believe if I saw a doctor out there I would be able to get a rec because I suffer from insomnia related to ptsd.. cannabis REALLY does allow me to sleep like a normal person but recently I've been reminded of my insomnia for I haven't smoked for the last two weeks and I can only manage to get a few hours of sleep starting at 7am. as I lay awake here at 4:30 in the morn, I'm wondering how easy it will be for me, once I'm out there, (california) to get a card and be able to grow my own meds.
thanks a lot guys

You can just get a card for about anything in Cali...I told my doctor I get indigestion because I taste a lot of different food at work(i'm a cook), so he wrote me one...

my other inspiration for researching this info has been me having to scale back my growing here in my town because of recent increase in armed robberies and killings of growers, dealers and just your average person around here. it's getting a little scary. i don't have anything to worry about because nobody knows me to grow I've always kept it a secret but the idea is unpleasant nonetheless and I know I would have a much happier life taking all of that negativity out of the equation.

lol thanks a lot, and I know what you mean.. i'm a sous chef.. i've also been warned about the lack of cooking jobs out there because of the abundance of mexicans working fairly cheaply

It's hard for cooks, not chefs...If you're a sous, you shouldn't have too much trouble, as long as you know your stuff...

Cali will give you a card for insomnia no problem... but you would have to think of something else in Washington State....it's not on the list of acceptable conditions, although it's not real hard to come up with something.

If you are growing your own little garden, and you are good about not sharing that info.... you shouldn't have any worries. People get ripped off everywhere, but I don't hear of many getting killed over pot. I am glad I am NOT in NY!!

Good luck to you, hope your move goes well

I used to think it was more difficult to get a rec in WA than CA or CO, then I learned about 4evergreen group. If you have a tough time getting your rec someplace else, go there and they will hook you up.

I feel your pain on the insomnia thing. I am out for about another 3 weeks until i harvest and December is a horrible month for flash backs. Has cannabis helped you with reoccurring thought flashbacks? It helps me so much, I hope your getting better sleep. I just ran 4 days on about 7 hours all together and finally crashed last night.
