Mine was cashed the 26th. Now you got me anxious! Not to worry though. My meds will still be very recreational!
another abuse of the system intended for chronic medical patients and not recreational users.

Without my recreational use of cannabis, I would never have discovered it as a medicine(at the very least it would have been far down the road). My only problem with the situation is that recreational users are forced to hide under the umbrella of medical marijuana.

I could not agree more. Thats why places like Colorado are trying to legalize and regulate like alcohol. I mean seriously, I have never seen so many sick 20 year old males running around with their red card! lol. IMO, The medicial use of mj was the first step and gate to walk through before they will eventually have to legalize it. I do have medical reasons I use for, but I have no problem with everyone and their brothers and sisters having a card and being somewhat "legal" as opposed to someone doing jail time and wasting our tax dollars for smoking a doobie. Either way, I am going to burn one down regardless, but it is nice to know I can drive across this state with under 2oz and have no worries about that at all.

Actually I was mostly being funny. I have been using medicinaly since high school, as an anti anxiety/ADD med. I often thank cannabis for keeping me out of trouble all these years. Fact is I am very grateful for all the recreational side of cannabis. Those people are the only reason there is good herb at all. (not going into my whole rant) Thank the freedom fighters! I do use for fun and for medicine, most of the people I know prefer it over pain meds, but still say there getting "high". The main reason I got my card is a good friend is moving from out state and has cancer. I don't know how much I can help but I intend to oil him up proper (man that sounds wrong). Anyways, thanks. Back when you were probably afraid to smoke, or at least admit it I was collecting signitures out in Oregon and smoking all kind of great recreational cannabis with all kinds of medical users, at a time when there was no medical any where! Medical is just a word (handy one) to describe someone who jumped through the hoops, cannabis has been used for 1000's of years!

My only problem is the whole dispensary bullshit. Just because I'm 21 and look fit meant I got treated like a recreational user abusing the system and to be honest it bugs the fuck out of me. I lost serious amounts of weight and got down to about 110 lbs at nearly 6 foot and dealt with throwing up about 4-5 times a week, almost once every morning and I got use to spending 2-3 hours in the bathroom at a time. I visited my doctor about once a week for six months and spent over 2,000$ on pills that insurance wouldn't cover.
I really just can't explain with words how bad I felt on top of that loosing my friends and relying on others to support me which made me feel even worse. That being said I was quite broke after not being able to keep my job due to the fact that I was seriously too sick to work. Kind of blows my mind of things have changed.... anyways...
I got sick of telling the dispensaries how broke and sick I was. I mean it seems like dispensaries deal with a fair amount of healthy people that they don't have a problem charging outrageous amounts too but if you tell them how sick you are they're more than willing to work with you.. So instead of dispensaries/collectives treating everyone like their sick, they treat them like a customer who is paying for some 'commodity' when really they should be dealing with extremely sick patients that need quick and safe access.
I just feel like I was rarely treated as a patient or someone who was sick so much as a customer.

I know what you mean Weedz, but I don't look at dispensaries as anything other than commercial cannabis businesses. They aren't there for me. If they were, they wouldn't be charging street prices for the meds(at least to people that legitimately need it). I also know what you mean about being a younger patient and not feeling like you are being treated as a patient. I'm 24, a legitimate medical patient. I guess just because I don't show them how much pain I'm in, I'm just another kid getting high. But that kind of stuff is nobody's business but my own. Honestly does anyone get treated like a patient no matter their situation? My average dealer cared about me as much as these places do. Even if they act like they care, they still charge you the same price, so what's the difference?

That blows....... I think the whole dispensary thing is mostly greed. Think about it, its still illegal, and they want to pretend its not and put a big sign out front and advertise their weed. I'm sure most of them want you to have meds, but not til you pay there rent, lawyers, security etc... even if there hearts are in the right spot it is not designed to work yet. Every small grower I know keeps the best and sell the rest and every one I know that buys any to get rid of does the same. Dispensarys are no different. You want a grower that actually gives a fuck about whether you have enough meds or not. I have no idea what ails you but I know treatment for cancer is supposed to require about a pound a month (made into simpson oil). No problem for an experienced grower with two lights but for you that probably runs $3000-$5000 a month, when it should be next to free. With plant counts and weight limits it is hard to find people that want to do that. I do think there need to be some compensation (not by the patient nessecarily) for providing quality dependable medication. Its not like anything is free.

I sent away for a card only for peace of mind, Judas of Cannabis has it backwards..it is the system that is abusing the people..nobody should need to jump through hoops and get a card in the first place to consume a harmless plant that has many benefits ...Stress literally kills ..it leads to heart disease and high blood pressure and can kill you..so what is people use it to unwind or chill out.
