How to Get A Prescription For Medical Marijuana In California

California has passed a law legalizing the use of marijuana as a treatment for a number of illnesses and creating a system whereby patients whose physicians have prescribed it can legally buy and use medical marijuana throughout the state. If you're a Californian and you utilize marijuana for your own health maintenance, follow these steps to ensure your use stays within the law.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Local weekly newspaper
• Physician
• Qualifying illness

1. Open the newspaper and look through the classified ads to find a physician who writes medical marijuana prescriptions.

2. Make an appointment with a physician.

3. Describe your symptoms/illness. Conditions which, by law, can be treated with medical marijuana include AIDS, cancer, chronic pain, anorexia, glaucoma, and arthritis. If you don't suffer from any of these conditions, tell your physician that you sometimes get painful migraines and the only thing that works to alleviate your pain is marijuana.

4. If your physician doesn't write you a prescription, repeat the process with a different doctor.

Tips & Warnings

• Physician referrals can also be found online.
• When talking to your physician, take the process seriously. Physicians who prescribe marijuana believe in it as medicine and may not write you a prescription if he or she doesn't think you do, also.
• There is no guarantee that any physician will prescribe medical marijuana to you.
