    Hello, I decided to go get my medical card on my 18th birthday for Anxiety and depression.. They told me that they could only give me 3 months because i havent gotten any documents or proof, so they said i could fax them it once i get it.. My question is.. Where would i go to get proof of depression or anxiety? are there local clinics i can visit, or should i go to a reg doctor? should i admit i need proof so i can medicate with marijuana, or act like i want their meds? I just need a paper showing proof of my condition so i can extent the year i paid for.. the reason i didnt go see a doc before for that is because im against taking pills and feel that they couldnt cure my depression anyways... why i have depression and anxiety is a whole nother story, so please dont say i dont deserve MM when you dont even know me.. thanks!

    Don't act like you want anything. Just describe your anxiety/depression symptoms to the doctor, let him do what he does, and know that if he gives you a prescription you have no obligation to get it filled. If its in your medical records that you were prescribed a drug for aniety/depression symptoms, it should be relatively easy to get your medical card.

    Lol if nothing else, sounds like you'll have to doctor shop until you find a doc with some sense and sympathy.

    But in all seriousness, be truthful and honest, tell them why it works for you. If they don't like it, go on to another.

    I have no problem with MMJ, but I can't help wondering if drugs (Of any kind, pills or MMJ) are a solution. Perhaps they treat the symptoms of depression or anxiety, but they cannot address the root cause.

    Right on, depending on the severity of it though. Me, I go to a psych. 1/week.
