In the Bay area, it's almost to easy, more people have Medical Marijuana cards than legal immigration cards. :) I have a cousin that lives in Butte County.....just north of Sacramento...because there are no medical marijuana shops in that area, their neighbor across the street is allowed to grow his own. He is allowed 10 plants(though he sometimes has as many as 60 my Cuz says. He has a paper that the County Sherriffs office issues that he must keep posted on the fence around the plants when he moves them outside in the spring, that shows he's allowed to grow the pot. No busts that way. And, just this past week the County Commissioners heard from the sherriff that he wants all of the medical marijuana card holders to buy a special permit card that would register them with all the local police departments so if they get arrested, it will show they are allowed the pot and it won't be confiscated(they can't return it after they find out your a card holder under the present system), and they won't be taken in to the jail, fined or kept overnight.....the cost of the new card would be 189.00. I guess it's a **get out of jail free card**. #8…hhopper….yep….it’s actually very easy to get one.

I need it so bad for depression, it's the only thing that gets me up and makes me feel like eating... screw eating, it's the only thing that makes me feel like going on with life. At least they let me get drunk to bury the pain. Getting drunk is legal, and how much harm can a depressant, that suppresses all rational thought, cause? Pardon me, I have to drive home now -- hope your family's not on the road... I hate the laws against marijuana.

It would also be a problem if these doctors prescribe Ritalin without a proper exam. You just know that schools are going to be very cautious about pot prescriptions. I teach, and I know that many legitimate prescriptions affect the demeanor of the students in class (including Ritalin) and pot would not be really different. If it is a choice between a student having to stay home rather than come to school a little high (legitimately) I would pick coming to school. But it would be a little disruptive with the students (kind of a giggle factor.)
