Once I qualify, where can I get medical marijuana?
Well, once you qualify and have a letter of recommendation from a physician, as well as a state-issued or locally-issued card. Then you would need to go to what is called a "medicinal cannabis dispensary", or co-op as they frequently are. Storefronts that have been set up for the purpose of providing an environment not only for the purchasing of medicinal cannabis, but also perhaps for using it, and/or testing it out and seeing how you react to it and what the right dose is for you under a supervised and controlled environment. Unfortunately, the federal government does not recognize the legality of selling cannabis for medicinal purposes, so they have been concentrating their law enforcement efforts, in states like California, on raiding and arresting the people who run these dispensaries, and seizing their supplies, and sometimes it's almost like a gambling type of thing where they'll close one set of dispensaries, and another will open up and run for awhile, and then it goes around like that. And that's really a great problem for patients, that they have to worry that even though they're enrolled in a legalized program, but they're still subject to harassment, arrest, and seizure of their medicine by the federal government.
