Default For those that live in non - MMJ states
How can I, a resident of a non-MMJ state, get medical marijuana? I am in college and have severe mental disorders. I do have a life long history of medical documentations that can back this up. How can I get MMJ?

Go to your dealer & buy medicAl grade weed,that or move,you cant get med mj in non med mj states,even if you did get a med card in another state it would not be valid in a non med state & the outcome would be the same as getting it from a dealer.

You can, hypothetically, obtain a medical cannabis recommendation and use that recommendation to avoid prosecution or minimize charges in a court of law.

Allow me to quickly explain;

We are a Cannabis law reform group in Arizona, a state which continues to prosecute sick patients for using medicinal marijuana responsibly. However, our friends in California have been enjoying protection from prosecution since 1996.

A member of our group uses medical cannabis to treat severe pain and insomnia. He is a resident of Scottsdale, Arizona, and is a hard working businessman.

He was pulled over while driving on the interstate. The police searched his vehicle and found marijuana and a pipe. He informed the officer that he was using it the marijuana as medicine, to which the officer laughed and proceeded to make the arrest.

The charges? Possession of marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia, both Class 6 Felonies.

We immediately took him to California to see a doctor who provided him with a written recommendation to use cannabis as medicine.

In Arizona, 1st time possession offenders are automatically given the opportunity to receive probation, complete drug classes and submit to random urine tests for a period of (1) One Year.

However, it simply isn't possible for him to submit a "clean" drug test, if the State of Arizona says that marijuana is an illegal drug, and not medicine. Therefore the State of Arizona wouldn't ideally allow him to abide by the provisions of Prop. 200 and not become a felon.

Honestly, the State of Arizona has little interest in prosecuting you when a registered physician and the State of California are standing in your corner, ready to testify.

Ultimately, the State of Arizona was forced to recognize the medical marijuana recommendation from California.

Subsequently, the charge of Possession was dropped entirely and he was ultimately charged with ATTEMPTED Possession of Paraphernalia, a Class 1 misdemeanor.

A small fine. No probation, no drug classes, no random urine tests, no loss of student aid, no lost job.

It goes to show that under "some circumstances", you can in fact rely on the compassion of other states when the time comes to defend yourself in a court of law.

How can I get a written recommendation for cannabis? I have documented ADHD, would this constitute a recommendation for medical cannabis? I understand that I would not be fully protected by law to use or posses cannabis but I am willing to take the effort and cost of getting a recomendation if it would help me out.

Perhaps you live next door to a state that has medical marijuana laws that protect patients? In our case, Arizona and California are right next to each other. It's as simple as 5 hour drive and making an appointment to see a doctor. You'll need to bring your medical paperwork documenting your illness and of course the annual fee.

You absolutely can obtain a recommendation for documented ADHD! Again, it would be important though that a psychiatrist or similar doctor has provided you with a written diagnosis, saying that you have ADHD. Then take your written diagnosis to the medical cannabis clinic and the doctor will acknowledge, "you have adhd. Medical marijuana can be used effectively to treat your condition."

Medical marijuana can actually be used for a wide variety of conditions. Just a few for example:

AIDS (HIV) & AIDS Wasting
Alzheimer's Disease
Appetite / Nausea
Arthritis
Asthma / Breathing Disorders
Chemotherapy
Crohn's / Gastrointestinal Disorders
Epilepsy / Seizures
Glaucoma
Hepatitis C
Migraines
Multiple Sclerosis / Muscle Spasms
Pain / Analgesia
Psychological Conditions
Tourette's Syndrome
Terminally Ill

There was a good article about ADHD and medical marijuana use at http://blog.mpp.org/?p=185

As you mentioned, you might or might not be fully protected under the law. As with any court case, your fate is ultimately decided by a judge and based on the specific circumstances of your case. That being said, I would totally use a medical defense for a small possession charge, and I probably wouldn't use a medical defense on charges of intent to distribute or possession of a large amount.

Alternatively, a Marinol prescription is always a reliable way to protect yourself from those pesky DUID (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs) charges! Not that I recommend smoking and driving, but I DO recommend protecting yourself
