So I've been smoking for about 3 years, never really had any issues with police or anything, but I've become really interested in growing recently, I think it would be a pretty fun hobby and I should learn quite a bit from it, not to mention I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor after a few months!

I live in southern California and a few of my friends have medical cards, I was wondering how I would go about getting one if there's really not anything major on my medical records to indicate I would 'need' to use marijuana. What would I tell a doctor to get a reccomendation? I was thinking my best bet would be the ol' insomnia tale, can't sleep, MJ helps out, story, and I was hoping some of my fellow stoners could point me in the right direction! Think that would work or should I try to come up with something better? Or does it not matter because I would need actual documented proof of some ailment I'm suffering from?

Also, what kind of prices am I looking at here? I hear prices ranging from about $90-$250 for a cannibis card, depending on where you go, is that accurate?

Finally, does the card have to be in the county you live in, or can it be from a different county?

Thanks for your help, friends!

You say your not sick, But you want advise on how to fake some sickness, just so you can grow pot.
You're helping to make legitimately ill MMJ users look bad, and makes it harder to change these damn laws......

I said I have a slight case of insomnia and MJ helps deal with it. I'm not the one who made a plant illegal, I'm simply trying to find a legitimate way around the current system that, let's be honest, none of us agree with, and is only amplifying the suffering of patients who use the substance.

What's wrong with enjoying a substance and trying to do it legally? (I guarantee you I'm not the only person who has ever done this) I don't agree with the law, but just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I don't have an obligation to try to uphold it, right? I'd rather get the card and smoke/grow pot legally and not have to deal with any police or fines or anything than get it off the street and risk it, wouldn't you?

Can you answer any of the questions I posted?

you might as well just grow without a card cuz even with a card the feds can still knock your door down.

Do what you gotta do, but don't post questions on how to circumvent laws we have fought so hard to pass. These kinds of post and questions on public message board are giving the legit patients that benefit so much from the use of cannabis a bad name by asking a question that eludes to an assumption that that every MMJ patient is just faking it and really doesn't need it, giving more ammo to the prohibitionists that keep saying 'those people just wanna get HIGH they don't really need it.'

I am sure you really don't mean any harm in your question but really think about it long and hard, if you really believe in ending the prohibition of cannabis, then instead of trying to circumventing the existing law why don't you help change it.
