I enjoy watching "Weed Wars" and there are some patients that really do need marijuana for medicinal purposes. However, I have to chuckle at some of the "ailments" that other patients present. Feeling a bit blue? No problem, you can get medicinal marijuana. In fact, I don't think there is anybody out there who can fail to get a prescription if he really tries...and they don't have to try too hard. Oooh! Doctor, I think I am an sneezing a bit more often. No problem. You can get a medical marijuana prescription.

I don't mind that people do buy the weed legally and some really do need it but some of those "ailments" I've seen on the show make me chuckle.

Meanwhile the Obama Regime is cracking down on that business solely because it competes with the Mexican Drug Cartels.

I live in downtown Oakland--the area is dubbed Oaksterdam. Last year I decided to see how difficult it would be to obtain a medical marijuana card, as I enjoy lighting up occasionally.

Two hours later I was in possession of one. My medical excuse: chronic Achilles tendonitis from years of running and playing basketball. I went to a place called Norcal Health Center, a store-front place, where I was interviewed by a doctor and my vital signs checked. I do have some achilles pain and flinched a little when she checked the tendon, but I certainly don't require medication for it.

Total cost: $100 for the exam and prescription. $40 for an optional ID card. It is good for one year.

That's my story.

There are no more potheads, only medical marijuana patients.
