If you have a California recommendation and a government-issued ID there is nothing in the state law that prevents you from purchasing cannabis. Still, many dispensaries don't realize this and only allow those with California licenses to purchase. Call ahead to dispensaries in your area and ask about their particular policies. I've had good luck finding places that are willing to let out of state patients shop there, but sometimes it can take a little looking around.\n\neearlenbaugh","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9895-markdown","title":"How can I get my recreational card in Washington State ?","slug":"how-can-i-get-my-recreational-card-in-washington-state","content":"\n_____________________\nWashington state has legalized marijuana for personal use which means you do not need to obtain a card/recommendation to purchase marijuana from a dispensary or delivery service for recreational purposes. \n\nThat said, there is a medical marijuana program in Washington. To become a marijuana patient in WA you must get a medical marijuana authorization from a healthcare practitioner permitted to authorize marijuana for medical purposes; this allows you to grow four plants. Medical cannabis patients with a valid WA medical marijuana authorization can choose to join the state's medical marijuana medical marijuana authorization database and get a medical marijuana card from a medically-endorsed marijuana retail store. This allows you to grow up to 15 plants and purchase products sales tax-free.\n\nashleigh","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9853-markdown","title":"Can smoking marijuana cause bloating?","slug":"can-smoking-marijuana-cause-bloating","content":"\"Hi, I've had my MM rec for almost 5 years now, and have used it off and on for pain, anxiety, stress, you name it.. but recently, I've experienced SEVERE bloating in my abdomen every time I use it (especially if I smoke it). It's  like my stomach swells up like a balloon and feels like it's gonna pop. I'm feeling the pressure in my chest now too. I usually use the vape pens, and I make my own cannabis infused coconut oil, that I use to make edibles. The swelling is less with those. When, or IF, I try to smoke any flowers, I don't do a lot.. but I wonder why I'm having this reaction to it. Anyone know what could be going on? \n\n\"\n_____________________\nIt sounds as if you are having some of the cannabis smoke entering your stomach, in essence \"swallowing\" the smoke. This may result is some burping as you release it. With the other methods you spoke of, the amount of smoke that enters your stomach may be less. Other then that I cannot think of a reason why that stomach bloating would occur.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nI have similar symptoms that you described and there are possibilities -- that do not include \"swallowing smoke\", especially since you said it also happens more mildly with edibles.  Consider that it might be a mild form of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.  Its seldom documented medically unless patients present at ER with non-stop vomiting that is oddly only relieved by hot showers. Like you, the only symptoms I have are extreme bloating. If I stop smoking, within about 24-48 hours the bloating subsides and I look and feel as though I lost 30 lbs.\n\nvch881\n_____________________\nI have the same issue as vch881. I have trouble with marijuana and I am trying to reduce consumption. When I smoke daily, I end up with a bloated feeling in my stomach a sort of swolen throat feeling. It is not painful but there is a constant feeling like there's something stuck in my throat and I need to swallow. I also feel the need to drink a lot of water when I am smoking marijuana so that contributed to the bloated stomach. If I stop consuming marijuana for a day or two it all subsides and my stomach and throat feel fine again. This is just a personal anecdote from my experience with marijuana over the years. \n\nRedwhite85","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9816-markdown","title":"Which states allow recreational marijuana?","slug":"which-states-allow-recreational-marijuana","content":"\"Where is it legal to buy marijuana recreationally without needing a doctor's letter?\"\n_____________________\nAs of now they are Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Alaska, DC, California, Massachusetts, Nevada.

(thanks for the rec, HelloMD) That being said, several dispensaries within California will not take me without a California ID. I attend college out here, but technically live in Colorado. Legally is there a way I can obtain both forms of Identification? Such as having my Driver's License from Colorado as well as a California State ID, if that is legal?\"\n_____________________\nThanks for using HelloMD! Although there is nothing in CA law that requires you to have a CA ID, as you discovered, some dispensaries have their own rules about who they admit to their collectives. Oftentimes, for these exceptions, if you present your valid CA recommendation letter and a valid state-issued photo ID (from any state), they will accept you if you bring proof that you reside in CA; this can take the form of a lease or utility bill with your CA address, or proof of enrollment at your CA college. Hope that helps!\n\nashleigh","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7445-markdown","title":"Now that recreational canabis is legal in CA, is a med license needed?","slug":"now-that-recreational-canabis-is-legal-in-ca-is-a-med-license-needed","content":"\n_____________________\nRecreational cannabis will not be available for sale in California until, at the earliest, January 1, 2018, and perhaps later. Up to then you will need a medical recommendation to purchase cannabis. After the recreational sales begin, when you obtain a cannabis recommendation you may be able to purchase more specific types of cannabis that are not available on the recreations side. If you register with the state, you will also be exempt from paying the 9.5% state tax that recreational users must pay.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6961-markdown","title":"How does Prop 64 effect delivery services?
