Read an article written by a journalist that got his "medicinal" marijuana license in California. (I think it was from Rolling Stone.)
It was all theater. They had an on site doctor/PA that could write the prescription immediately, and on the basis of him saying he had "anxiety" (over getting caught) he got a medical marijuana license in California.
Now do you think I need a complete study of all people who received such licenses to determine that they are issued for any d@mn reason at all?
I think the one example is sufficient enough to surmise the truth without any further data.
“Read an article written by a journalist that got his “medicinal” marijuana license in California.”
I don’t need to read the article. California’s medical marijuana program has always been defacto legalization by design. It’s been a running joke for many years. My understanding is you can get a card there in around an hour or less, depending on where you go just by saying you have frequent headaches. Not so in Florida. Not even close lol.
I can assure you Florida’s medical marijuana program is nothing like California’s. I had to provide ALL of my medical records in advance of my 1st appointment with my cannabis doctor. The entire process took 45 business days from my 1st appointment till I got my card.
“Now do you think I need a complete study of all people who received such licenses to determine that they are issued for any d@mn reason at all?”
Yes, I do. As flawed as California’s medical marijuana program may be, you still have no real knowledge of who is there legitimately & who is not. It’s ok, neither do I.
“I think the one example is sufficient enough to surmise the truth without any further data.”
To assume what happens in California is uniformly happening in the other 49 states is at best fallacious.
I only have direct, personal experience with Florida’s medical marijuana program. Come visit me in Jacksonville & I will be happy to show you the dramatic differences between Florida & California’s medical marijuana programs. You could come with me and sit in my favorite dispensary’s waiting room & talk with other patients. You’ll have to get yourself here but if you do we’ll be happy to fill your tummy with some home cooked grub after.
Of course you could just take the time to research it on the web & learn for yourself lol! For instance, does California have one of these: https://mmuregistry.flhealth.gov ?
At this website all Florida medical marijuana patients can see how much medicine their doctor recommends they use. By law, medical marijuana patients in Florida can only use the amount of THC our doctors recommend & for 70 days that’s all you get to use till the next 70 day period. Unlike California where you can purchase as much cannabis as you can afford to pay for here in Florida we cannot use more than we’ve been reccomended.
So by all means, stay ignorant & assume falsely. :)
