MMJ for Anxiety

[Blunt .]

Prior to when I began smoking Marijuana I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I was given medicine, I can't remember off the top of my head the exact name, but the point being that I refused to take the medicine due to it's side effects. It caused me to become extremely tired to the point where I was unable to even function I was so tired. I struggled for years with my anxiety and depression, until one day Mary Jane came along. Ever since I began smoking I'm convinced it's been able to, not only help me control, but also eliminate, my anxiety and depression. I currently reside in Connecticut, however I plan on moving to California for college. I was wondering if I could get some pointers to everyone with greater knowledge regarding MMJ than me on some sources I can use to gain farther knowledge on how I would go about obtaining a card, as well as if this would be a valid diagnosis for me to apply for MMJ. Thank you, sorry if I sound like I'm new at this, but I am. Blaze on.

Where in Cali? If you're choosing based on marijuana leniency I'd recommend San Francisco. No one has been arrested here for the casual use of marijuana in the last 5 years, and its a zero priority for the police, so even if you can't get a card, which generally isn't a problem, you still won't have an issue with getting medical grade marijuana. As far as getting a card is concerned basically you just need your cali state i.d. card. Once you get here go to the dmv and get an i.d. card, theyll send it in about 3 weeks. At some point youll need to make an appointment with one of the 8000 cannibis consultation clinics here and depression and anxiety is a widley accepted qualification, especially since you appear to already have it pre diagnosed. just bring your medical records and if you can a current prescription and that's usually enough. After that you can go to the dispensaries if you have your cali state i.d.

As far as moving to CA goes, it just depends on what you want... If you want to smoke pretty much hassle free, try SF... If you want to freely grow alot of herb that'd be Sonoma (99 plants/patient), if you want infinite variety of locations to buy that'd be LA...

Thanks guys. I'm hoping since I was previously diagnosed I'll be good when I move there to show them my medical records to prove I do have problems. Then hopefully once I explain to them that I have used my own recreational use of Marijuana to cope with these problems and now wish for a MMJ card, I think they'll understand.

if you were previously diagnosed it shouldnt be a problem... Are you on meds for it? If you are, bring those with you when you get your rec

No, as I said I got off of them because they caused extreme discomfort and made me tired to the point where I was unable to function properly. It's been unnecessary for me to get back on them because I have been successfully self medicating myself with marijuana.

If you have old pill bottles that will work too. I brought in a med bottle from more than two years ago and it was fine, it was evidence as I established that I didnt just develop this program whle waiting for the doctor to come in

Haha, I'm sure it's in my medical records and especially my health insurance records as well since I'm assuming they are the ones who paid for my medicine.
