The state card is not necessary and in fact limits the amount of plants you can have, among other things. With legalization coming soon, the protections ( police tend to respect this card moreso than a doctor's recommendation) afforded it probably aren't worth the expense.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6994-markdown","title":"Medical marijuana infused with castor oil for IBD exasperated diarrhea.

I'm hoping this will not effect my digestive system with diarrhea. What do you think?\"\n_____________________\nThere are a lot of choices you could make other than the castor oil (which was very likely the issue). How about an edible, like a chocolate or perhaps a vaporizer which does not affect your digestive system at all?\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6984-markdown","title":"I am in Iowa. Do I have access to Medical MJ","slug":"i-am-in-iowa-do-i-have-access-to-medical-mj","content":"\n_____________________\nUnfortunately Iowa is one of the few states that does not have a medical marijuana system.  It is also notorious for having strict marijuana laws, with more than 6,000 people arrested for marijuana related offenses in 2010 alone.  First time possession of any amount can earn you 6 months in jail or a $1,000 fine.\n\nchris","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6973-markdown","title":"Now that the law has changed in California do you still need a medical Marijuana recommendation?","slug":"now-that-the-law-has-changed-in-california-do-you-still-need-a-medical-marijuana-recommendation","content":"\n_____________________\nYes you do, at least until January 2018 when the law is intended to be implemented, although there are others in the industry that claim it might take even longer.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nYes, the law applies now, but if you do not have a card then you cannot legally purchase marijuana. Dispensaries will not open until 2018. You are only allowed to go into a dispensary NOW if you have a medical MJ card. You can possess less than one ounce of marijuana or edibles if you were GIFTED then unless you have a medical MJ card. So might as well get one.\n\nrafaeslomejor","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6933-markdown","title":"I need a medical recommendation for bone pain from metastatic prostate cancer in the bones.","slug":"i-need-a-medical-recommendation-for-bone-pain-from-metastatic-prostate-cancer-in-the-bones","content":"\"My cancer is now widly spread in the bones and is also causing lots of pain and is also CRPC(castrate resistant) Would Rick Simpsons protocol be recommended in this case?\nGrant\"\n_____________________\nIn general, Rick Simpson Oil (high THC based product) is generally thought to be used to try to \"cure\" cancers as Rick Simpson himself claimed to use cannabis to cure his own skin cancer.  There have been many studies on the benefits of cannabis including hope for help with cancer, but nothing regarding cannabis has been proven to be 100% effective in curing cancer.  On that note, for pain relief I recommend a tincture or vape product in a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1 or 4:1 and a high CBD cream with a little THC added for extra relief.\n\ndrb\n_____________________\nDr. C is right, there have been no studies done on the RSO oil that I know...I do have a member that has had bone cancer for some time and is taking our RSO oil, 3/4 grams a day and it has greatly helped. The oil is providing pain relief, stimulating her appetite and helping her sleep most of the night.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6926-markdown","title":"Can I get a medical marijuana card if I live in Georgia? ","slug":"can-i-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-if-i-live-in-georgia","content":"\n_____________________\nGeorgia has extremely harsh penalties for cannabis. They do have a CBD law in place, but it seems very difficult to obtain access to the oil. But if you visit a Medical Cannabis State, you may be able to talk with a physician about how cannabis helps you (or schedule an online consultation). While this does give you legal access in Georgia, it may give you some protection from the harsh, unjust, repressive laws that are currently in place in Georgia.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nIn 2015 Georgia passed a CBD oil law, where patients with certain medical conditions can be protected from prosecution. A lot of information can be found here...\nhttps://www.georgiacannabis.org/obtain-medical-marijuana/\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nYes. I can provide recommendation that will allow you to receive card from health department whicj allow you to possess low THC oil.\n\nmaximopowlowski","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6921-markdown","title":"Now that florida has passed medical will i qualify?

My buddy is epileptic and has already been getting his is a couple different forms.\"\n_____________________\nIt sounds like you have issues with chronic pain and arthritis and you would most definetely benefit from cannabis and likely qualify in Florida. One law is already in place in Florida that allows for low-THC cannabis and also cannabis for terminally ill patients. I would look here\nwww.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/office-of-compassionate-use\nand maybe contact your local NORML chapter or other patient advocates.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6917-markdown","title":"I live in CA, do I need a medical marijuana recommendation to buy CBD cannabis for my dog?  ","slug":"i-live-in-ca-do-i-need-a-medical-marijuana-recommendation-to-buy-cbd-cannabis-for-my-dog","content":"\n_____________________\nIf you are buying CBD products derived from hemp, the law does not require you to have a medical recommendation. This is because hemp-derived products do not contain THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. If you are buying CBD products derived from marijuana, they will have THC and you will need to have a valid recommendation. Bear in mind that pets are far more sensitive to THC than humans, and using high-CBD marijuana products (with minimal THC) intended for people may still contain enough THC to adversely affect them. \n\nA brand that is very popular with clients and their pets is Treatibles https://www.treatibles.com/  They make CBD-rich chews and capsules, and because they contain no TCH, they ship nationwide.\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nYes, even though it is CBD (except for hemp-derived CBD where the law does not require a rec) and for your dog you will need a recommendation to purchase CBD for your dog. (since he does not have opposable thumbs yet :)The good news is that we sell a nice variety of CBD products for dogs and they come highly recommended by our patients.

If you do register with the state you will need to give the state your personal information however you will be represented by a number which in theory anonymizes you to outside parties. Registering with the state in the coming years may have added benefit due to a tax exemption you will receive which may incentivise people to do so.\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":360,"numPages":41,"currentPage":31,"id":5495,"name":"Medicinal Cannabis","slug":"medicinal-cannabis","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
