Medical Marijuana…?
Question by Auburn’s Rush: Medical marijuana…?
I am chronically ill and the symptoms and pain I have is severe. Over the counter medications do not work at all. I am 16. I have a hypothetical question, because I have been considering medical marijuana. I Iive in a state where medical marijuana is illegal, how would I go about getting some? I read qualifications for medical marijuana and I meet these requirements. Does marijuana have any bad long term side affects?
Please do not judge. I am not going to blindly ask my parents or doctors for this, because it is not my place to get something like this. I just want to get answers to my question.

If you are in pain, then you deserve the amazing painkilling effects of cannabis.
Sorry I can’t tell you where to access some,
but my webpage should give you all the education (ammunition?)
you ever wanted about marijuana, including the lack of long term
side effects, and you can write any of us
anytime with your questions.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe you would be able to obtain medical marj because you said in your state it is not legal yet. Also you are only 16 they would probably want you to wait until your 18 since than you are considered a “legal” age. You may only have the option now to buy illegally which of course I cannot recommend lol .lol. Marijuana does NOT have any bad long term side effects contrary to what many people think. A lot of people have been taught and brainwashed to think badly about marij. but any research would more than likely change people’s ideas..
I would suggest checking out the website: medicalmarijuana.procon.org
TOTAL DEATHS FROM MARIJUANA = 0
TOTAL DEATHS FROM 17 FDA APPROVED DRUGS = 10, 008
I believe this info is from 2005 so I’m sure the deaths from FDA approved meds is a lot higher now.
Good luck, I know how you feel
Have to disagree with a so called answer you got. Obviously a very narrow minded idividual. Anyway wanted to share with you the conditions that medical marijuana is now approved for in DC.
Approved Conditions: HIV, AIDS, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, cancer, other conditions that are chronic, long-lasting, debilitating, or that interfere with the basic functions of life, serious medical conditions for which the use of medical marijuana is beneficial, patients undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy/
In Michigan: Approved Conditions: Approved for treatment of debilitating medical conditions, defined as cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, nail patella, cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe and chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, epilepsy, muscle spasms, and multiple sclerosis
HIV, AIDS, Cancer are approved med uses in all states that are medically approved marj states. Each state has their own conditions which are medically approved uses. You can find more information on what each state considers approved med marij usage at procon.org
