What Am I really Looking At?

I will be posting this in a few states med section so if you happen to see it more then once the reason is I am looking to move and looking for info.

Within the next 12-18months I will be moving myself and my family to a MMJ friendly state. I currently live in N.Y. and with the new election of Gov. this past Nov the state will be screwed out of any MMJ till he is gone.

I am currently in a pain management program and have all teh medical doc to back up my issues. I am not just some pot head looking to get high. I am currently on handfull of meds ranging from Opana and Daludid Skelaxin and Zipsor as well as celabrex for a short time. I have been in PM now for a year and am rly getting worried about these druggs as I have already had to up the amount and now the dose to stay pain free. I know MMJ works for me as I have tried it.

That being said what can I expect if I move to this state and look for a Dr. to get myself a card. In all states I am posting this in I have checked the DoH reqs for the card and I meet them to my understanding.


Any info from any sites or personal info would be awsome. I dont need names or stuff like that other then truested Dr. to see for getting a card. I would also like any info on MMJ friendly areas in the state I am low key and wana stay that way but I also dont wana move to an area were I wont be welcome.

It doesn't sound like you should have much trouble getting a card in Maine. There currently are not many doctors here willing to make the recommendation, but there are some. Registration costs $100 a year. There are efforts under way in the legislature to relax the rules somewhat.

With a card, you can:
Grow up to six marijuana plants*
Have in your possesion up to 2.5 ounces of dried herb

* this assumes you elect to grow. When applying for a card, you must stipulate whether you will be growing, using a dispensary (and which one), or having a caregiver grow for you (a caregiver need not be a patient in their own right).

A marijuana plant is defined in the rules as a harvestable, female plant that is flowering and at least 12 inches high and 12 inches wide. Most people take this to mean that there isn't a practical limit to plants in veg state, at least for the casual grower. When you hit the federal threshold of 99 plants is another matter, most would agree.

Hope this helps

Don't know where your moving, but California all you need is a newspaper because its flooded with Dr's adds that only give out rec's. And usually around a hundred dollars for the fee. You have to get a new one each year. Really its simple though, they do hundreds of them a day.

Cannot disagree with malicfice, by all accounts California is the least restrictive. If it were me though, I would be considering cost of living as well. It's got to be a lot more in CA than in ME.

I am currently in N.Y. and a move to Callie is out. Wife doesnt want to be that from fam.

well then: maine, rhode island, vermont?
