How can I get a Medical marijuana Card?!


Question: How can I get a Medical marijuana Card?
Okay, here is the deal. I am a 16 year old girl living in California, and i suffer from horrible back pain that on an average day will leave me in tears and has kept me up all night before. Some days I don't even want to get out of bed because the pain is so bad. Also, i often suffer from insomnia and anxiety attacks, my average nights sleep being 2-5 hours. I've tried marijuana a couple times before going to bed and have actually slept through the night (wonderfully at that) and woken up in the morning mostly pain free. I don't want to get a medical marijuana card so that i can constantly be stoned, it's so that i can smoke at night to help me sleep and not get in trouble. I'd rather be legal to do it then illegal and pay consequences. So please, I for the life of me am having trouble finding helpful facts on the issue, does anyone know what exactly the process would be for me to obtain a medical marijuana card?
please no judgments

Answers:

Don't fear, there is hope for you! It is entirely possible for you to get a medical marijuana card. Here's what you need to know:

You need to have at least 3 past medical records showing that you have back problems. This can be doctor's chart notes, hospital records, diagnosed conditions, etc. They must be within the last 6 years I believe as well.

You will also need to obtain parental consent - so your parent has to be present and supply documentation as well.

Next you will need to seek a physician that is willing to state that medical marijuana will help you. You can find offices and doctors through this link: http://thc-foundation.com/california/
I've had my card through THCF for years now, they are quite helpful and can supply you with a lot of great information.

Finally, you will have to pay the california department of human services for the actual card. In Oregon it costs $100 each year.

Aside from my documented medical condition I also use weed to help sleep - it works like a charm! And the best fast-acting anti-nausea medication on the market if you ask me!

There is slim to no chances you will ever get this, unless you are ever in a clinical trial. Have you spoken to your doctor at all? I mean there could be an cause that is fixable, and if not, the doctor can prescribe legal pain medicine such as panadeine forte or oxycontin or oxycodone etc, etc.
