If you smoke marijuana and live in one of the states that currently have legalized, it is certain that you have asked yourself or wondered how to get your medical marijuana card. The medical marijuana card allows a person to under various state laws, to grow, process, and smoke marijuana for medicinal uses. There are currently many medical reasons or ailments that would qualify you for medical marijuana, but the reality is there are also a large number of doctors who really see this as a way of fixing a broken law, and nearly everyone qualifies.
How to get a medical marijuana card varies from county to county, some things to consider when your looking to get your own medical marijuana card are:
- Average cost is just over $100
- Requires Doctor Recommendation
- Be sure to check with YOUR county laws
- Return to OurWeed.com to find your medical marijuana dispensary
It is literally that easy, and should you not be able to get a recommendation for medical marijuana check with The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation or The Medical Cannabis Resource Center, both of these can prove to be valuable resources when it comes to obtaining your Medical Marijuana card. The most healthy way to consume medical marijuana is through the use of a medical marijuana vaporizer and likely is what a doctor will suggest.
There are many doctors that specialize in obtaining a medical marijuana card for you, and are more than happy to help guide you through the process. Many of the doctors who specialize in medical marijuana cards are listed or advertise on this site… Some of the doctors even offer guarenties such as “get your medical marijuana card or dont pay” It really does not get any more clear than that. The reasons that a person can qualify for medical marijuana are both numerous and vague, many doctors understand this and have set up specialized practices to offer their service and assistance in helping patients get their medical marijuana card.
The main reason to get your medical marijuana card is of course so that you can smoke legally, but another great benefit is something that any current medical marijuana card holder will tell you… Medical marijuana is simply a much higher quality of marijuana. Those that do not currently have their medical marijuana card may not be aware but the over all quality of marijuana available in a medical marijuana dispensary is far superior than that available through a street dealer.
So if you have not yet, go get your medical marijuana card.

Medical marijuana is not better than the stuff you used to buy on the street. It’s the same stuff, you’re just buying it legally now.
I strongly disagree, and am going to take a shot in the dark and say you have yet to get your medical marijuana card.
Because the cultivators for medical marijuana are legal, they have been able to communicate better with each other, sell and distribute clones and marijuana strains on a larger scale than has ever been done before. The best and most skilled marijuana cultivators are legal ones, their product still sells for a premium and they run no risk of arrest, couple that with the amount of medical marijuana that a dispensary can distribute and there is no reason for those capable of cultivating quality marijuana (medical or otherwise) to take the risk of selling on the streets.
i think this site is stupid and wrong to use childeren cartoons like you did and what if someone that dont need it and gets the drugs and its all your falt!!!
It is our goal that anyone of age who chooses to, can obtain medical marijuana.
so your sayin that your dont care if u sell it to anyone that does not need it?
and have you ever smoked it you self?
We do not sell medical marijuana, only make it available for those who are seeking it.
Yes I am a patient, and look forward to when it is legal for recreational use, Marijuana causes far fewer problems and deaths than drinking does on an annual basis.
This site is however designed for consenting adults, looking to obtain medical marijuana.
soo what abt your cartoons that have spongbob or scoobbydo that are doing the drugs and they look up to them and so if they do it the kids do it
Hey Unknown!
Why don’t you take your illiterate butt off of the internet and go bother someone else about anything else! And before you pass judgement on someone, for trying to help people that don’t want to be in constant pain and choose medical marajuana because they don’t want to become addicted to Rx narcotics, why don’t you learn how to spell first!!!! Nobody cares what some uneducated, close-minded stooge has to say!
How can a person who lives in one of thoes states who hasn’t allowed for the legal usage of marajuana like well lets not mention state names let’s just say mitch the bitch’s state the state with the clean burning coal and retarded crap like that get his or hers card legal or other wise?

Hi all,
I’m new to the marijuana world, have not tried it as yet, but read the post above & am curious as to how much pain relief there is, circulatory issues & marijuana, bone density, etc.
Medically, I’ve had countless surgeries, several in the last year, have been given everything from NSAIDS to Dilaudid and even going into experimental surgery.
I’m VERY concerned about kidney & liver damage from some of the medications I’ve been given. I’ve had high liver enzymes more than once from medications & kidney stones from steroid injections.
After a couple of the surgeries with steroids injected into my spinal column, I had memory loss that I’m still trying to get back, kidney stones, It’s difficult at times for me to put a paragraph together, I don’t sleep well from the pain (I have connective tissue tears,complex regional pain syndrome and most, if not all, the markers for lupus.) I’m also photosensitive (eyes) and wonder if I really don’t have lupus, but perhaps the rheumatologist doesn’t want to put a name on what I’ve seen be a pretty hopeless death sentence.
I know the steroids I was injected with & the fever after a couple of those injections that lasted roughly a month really messed with my ability to think clearly. I’d been treated with steroids years ago, and it took me about 2 years before I was clear of them and could think clearly again. If I’d known I was going to be given steroids, I would have said no. I had kidney stones & am on medications for that as well. I’ve told my doctors no more steroids & am kind of pissed that these are given out & injected into people every day without informed consent – some people are OK on them, some of us clearly are not. Burning up for a month after a steroid injection should have been a reason to stop, but the staff members at the doctors office clearly didn’t pass on the information & he didn’t get it until 2 more surgeries & in post-op I removed my IV, felt allergic to everything & finally we talked & he gets it now, so we tried an experimental anesthetic & I woke up with the affected limb burning in pain & I was waken up instead of allowed to wake up on my own.
I found this site by searching for pain resources in CA. I’m in the LA area & am looking for some kind of alternative. Honestly, I used to think that the dispensaries were just for those with cancer pain & figured a lot of it was for recreational use, which I think is fine, just with my medical issues & the adverse reactions I seem to have to darn near everything, I doubted i would help me much, if at all.
I know I am running out of options for treatments. I don’t like being on, nor having such a high tolerance for opioid medications. I don’t tolerate at all most of the alternatives.
I strongly believe God takes you where you belong & I found it interesting I wound up here. I’ve had a couple of friends mention trying medical marijuana & know family & other friends are likely to be against it, but at this point, I have to what works for me. I’m terrified to even mention it to my doctors.
The reason I’m writing such a detailed medical background is that I’m sure there are others out there who are in the same, or similar situation & have wondered about marijuana, but figured that was just for cancer pain.
Well, I’m at a point where I’m in as much pain as an end-stage cancer patient. I don’t get out much except to go to doctors’ appointments and physical therapy. I don’t do my regular activities any more around the house even and yes, I haven’t been before, but I am depressed now. I know the odds are against my ever getting well, but try to keep some hope for getting well. After being in pain for about 20 I’m not sure where we are going next with medication, etc.
I’m hoping this will help others going through similar or the same things, and I used to think medical marijuana, other than for cancer, was just people wanting to get high, which I’m not against (I think alcohol is FAR worse), but dealing with what I am & the amount of pain I’m in, the lack of appetite, etc., I’m thinking this might be an option, possibly an option that might just keep me from further deficiency problems from throwing up things when my pain levels are so high. I’m unable to eat as much as I should and have deficiencies as a result, which I’m sure are complicating my health problems.
I think it is at least worth a try & from reading here, it seems there is a chance that this might not only help me, but others with CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome), fibromyalgia and other chronic pain disorders.
If someone could post how to talk to your doctor about this, please post. I’m not sure how my team of doctors are going to respond to my even asking, as I know how I felt about marijuana before now. IMHO, I think ALL drugs should be made legal with age restrictions, of course and kept behind the counter so kids don’t have access & penalties for those giving it to children (without a doctor’s prescription, to be VERY severe.)
I think steroid creams that are used on children, in many cases, should be regulated as much as opiates. Just because they are similar to cortisol certainly doesn’t make them safe, but they are put out there as a “cure all”, regardless of the damage they can create to organs.
Seems to me marijuana is FAR less dangerous, although I wouldn’t ever give it to a child (yet in a pill form, it might be helpful for cancer patients & has been shown to be.)
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
