Question by SkepsisVoid: Questions about medical marijuana card?
I would like to get one to treat my schizophrenia, i’ve tried various pills that have hurt more than helped.

Here are my concerns:
Can you get a medical card for mental illness or anemia?
Will it effectively treat either of those conditions?
What are the basic agreements of owning one? (where you can smoke, how much you can buy at once, age restrictions, etc.)

“Mental Illness” is too vague… What SPECIFICALLY is wrong with you? You won’t know if Marijuana helps your condition or makes it worse until you try it, which sucks, and you have to be aware that long term use of Marijuana usually ends up exacerbating depression and/or anxiety. When this happens, the user tends to try and smoke more to get that same effect they got when they first started then switch to something else that stimulates the same regions of the brain as Marijuana, when it was working, and that tends to either be booze or speed/meth/amphetamines.    Read more...
