GETTING CANNABIS LEGALLY

2009.04.07

I was using Cannabis for past 8 years and now I have to stop because of a job situation. I have been avoiding it and rather missing it for more than 100 days and meanwhile I have read lots of material how to use Cannabis and still get negative test results. I don’t find myself courageous enough to try them. Recently I have seen a great story in LA TIMES and now look what I have got! I use Cannabis and I am still safe. Let me tell you the whole story.

 

   For my new job I moved to California and here the law supports medical Cannabis use. There are many Cannabis dispensaries for this purpose too. I did some online research and found out the procedure. There are many doctors who are authorized to write referrals for medical Cannabis use. I just needed a note from my regular doctor saying that I have a condition which is treatable with Cannabis. I was lucky to have a condition among the listed allowed ones: asthma. Yes asthma! And I had my recent prescriptions with me too.

 

    I looked up in local news papers and soon found out the cheapest referrals to be around $150 to $125 so I called them and got an appointment, they even gave me an extra $25 discount for gas because of the distance from where I had to come. Once there, I had to fill up a few papers and then wait for my turn. I didn’t expect to see other people genuinely needing it but there were people who looked real but anyway it was appearance that was enough.

 

   When I was called in I saw that the doctor was young and professional. He took the usual history and checked my prescriptions. I told him “I want to try cannabis for my asthma. I have tried it for few days now and it seems to make me better so I want to do it legally”.

Doctor said “Do you know it can be detrimental to your condition?”

I said, “Oh I eat or vaporize it usually, I have a volcano”

Then he said, “I was about to say that to do otherwise may worsen your condition”

 

   After that he explained me the legal history, my rights, the benefits of Cannabis and that they have the delivery system for it too. He told me regular stuff about asthma and that I should quit smoking cigarettes etc. When I went out my photo was taken and more instructions given to me that I should pay in cash at dispensaries,  try to be anonymous, don’t use the drug in front of kids or in my car but use it privately. Soon I moved out with a MMJ card in my pocket, an actual prescription in a folder and a big smile.

 

   I went to one of the dispensaries that I have seen ads of so many times in the news papers. It was an anonymous building. On entrance my card and papers were checked and I had to fill in few papers. Inside they had all the goodies and I took some of my choice. The counter lady gave me an extra gram and also 25% off because I was a new patient. I took the prescription bottles and put them into my bag and into the car trunk. For the first time I was not anxious even with Cannabis in my trunk. Who ever searches me I can show my legal papers.

 

  Now, since that first day I have tried so many dispensaries and different items. Many of them gave me free grams or joints as gifts for first time visit. The prices and quality seems ok and they are straight forward and easy.

 

   I am using Cannabis now and abusing it so many times. My asthma has got worse a bit: the cause effect I believe. But asthma is only an excuse for getting Cannabis because I have other problems that are Cannabis treatable like depression. It’s usually not good at work to have such stuff officially diagnosed. Asthma does on well. I love to get high and if it wasn’t for the expanse I wouldn’t have spent a single minute with my mind not being high.
