yea medical is coming to MA soon. laws passed but it hasn't been implemented. how easy is it to get a card? (asking those of you in states that already have an infrastructure.) assuming you don't have an illness that actually would be helped be MM, what does it take to get a card?
― marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:11 (nine years ago) link
i think it differs by state. i know NJ has much more rigid requirements for MM than CA. i'm not sure what the MA law looks like.

i.e. what's the threshold? if you go in vaguely talking about migraines or anxiety or whatever, do you get asked lots of questions?

Grown-ass people need a place to buy weed.
can none of you thwarted smokers not grow yr own?
when i first started buying/smoking on the reg, my main drug buddy at the rec shop where we both worked would always help out one of our middle aged toker/customers to score small amounts of decent weed. He didn't do it for personal gain, but out of a sense of smoking-karmic-togetherness, and that's always stuck w/ me.
i am now that middle aged toker and eternally grateful to the young scamps who help me out w decent weed etc.
so cultivate the young, and do other ppl something kind, when you can

I have legit issues (imo) but the doc I got my card from didn't ask too many questions, it took maybe an hour all told.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link
and of course the shop I go to now is run by a guy I used to live next door to, he doesn't even look at my card
currently sitting at the "none"/"pretend toke" level but I had been doing about 1/8th to 1/4 a week (smoking a bowl or two every day by myself, occasional rollups w/ friends) until I dropped it for New Year's

Iago: a half-ounce is like $150-300 of weed (depending on quality), there is no way you're smoking that on yr own in a night unless you're rolling fat blunts and hotboxing the basement

Hey Bernard, thanks for the info. I'm going to ask the dude next time what the weight or whatever is of what I'm buying. I get like 400 bucks worth every couple weeks so it sounds like I may be doing 1/2 ounce a week? I do a phone service--I text, they call me when they are nearing my corner, I get in their car and do the transaction.

I did not fit into this poll. If I happen to have it then a lot (every night or a bunch of times on the weekend days) but these days that happens like 3x a year so most weeks it's none.

In June we still needed a "medical card," which could be arranged online for a trifling fee from a very cooperative "doctor" in less than an hour.
As I understand it, that step won't be necessary starting in January.
― Careful with that Ax, Emanuel (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 22:37 (six years ago) link
stores will be legal, not sure how many will be ready to go on the 1st of January
(in LA, it's hard to go too many blocks without seeing a sign for a weed doctor: walk in, pay c.$30, get prescription valid for 1 year. some will require proof of in-state address.)
