Medical marijuana has been proven to
be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions. Fortunately
for California residents, the state is one of several states where
medical marijuana can be legally sold. However, you can’t just pop
by a dispensary and buy weed. You’ll need a medical marijuana card
to legally purchase it.
A California medical marijuana card
can only be obtained by a California resident with a valid California
I.D. as proof of residency. Other proofs of residency can also be
used: passport, out-of-state I.D., and a utility bill, among others.
Additionally, you’ll need to be at least 18 years of age or have a
parent or guardian with you, if you are below 18.
You’ll also need to provide your
medical records. It should be easy enough to request from your
primary care physician. These records should show that you are
suffering from one of the state’s qualifying conditions. These
include the following: cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain,
spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, and migraines.
Finally, you’ll need to get a
recommendations from a state-licensed physician showing that you will
benefit from using medical marijuana. The state has a directory of
physicians that can give you a recommendation after a consultation,
and showing them your medical records. If you’re able to fulfill
these requirements, then you may be able to obtain your medical
marijuana card.
