Can i get a card??

dipsettt · May 19, 2009

Well i currently live in NY so obviously i wont be able to get one yet. But when they do get there....

I got knee surgery in november of 08. For some reason i still get extreme amounts of pain near the front of my knee. Its still very sensitive to touch and its been 6 months. Aswell i think i might have a mild case of muscle spasms. At times my quads go nuts...

WildWill · May 19, 2009

There's no real laws yet, how the heck are we supposed to know?

nefarious · May 19, 2009

You'll have to wait for your state to legislate corresponding laws to find out if you are eligible.

New York

Bills

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
2 thousands of New Yorkers have serious medical conditions that can be
3 improved by medically-approved use of marihuana. The law should not
4 stand between them and treatment necessary for life and health. This
5 legislation follows the well-established public policy that a controlled
6 substance can have a legitimate medical use. Many controlled substances
7 that are legal for medical use (such as morphine and steroids) are ille-
8 gal for any other use. The purposes of article 33 of the public health
9 law include allowing legitimate use of controlled substances in health
10 care, including palliative care. This policy and this legislation do not
11 in any way diminish New York state's strong public policy and laws
12 against illegal drug use, nor should it be deemed in any manner to advo-
13 cate, authorize, promote, or legally or socially accept the use of mari-
14 huana for children or adults, for any non-medical use. This legislation
15 is an appropriate exercise of the state's legislative power to protect
16 the health of its people under article 17 of the state constitution and
17 the tenth amendment of the United States constitution.

Sounds similar to California. A "serious condition" seems to be pretty open ended in this bill. I think knee pain will defiantly qualify. It hasn't passed yet of course...so we will see.

I also like this

4. NO SCHOOL, EMPLOYER OR LANDLORD SHALL REFUSE TO ENROLL, EMPLOY OR
30 LEASE TO OR OTHERWISE PENALIZE A PERSON SOLELY FOR HIS OR HER STATUS AS
31 A CERTIFIED PATIENT OR DESIGNATED CAREGIVER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT
32 NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH REQUIRES A SCHOOL, EMPLOYER OR LANDLORD TO
33 MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS.
