Cons?

From what I have read, nothing goes on your medical records for getting a mmj reccomendation. However, if you test positive for a drug test, for a job or school, the reccomendation will not help you, and you will likely be treated as any person would for consuming THC, no matter whether you have a reccomendation or not.

All a rec does is allow you to get the herb and allows possesion of it. Even then I hear of people having to go to court even when they show their rec to the officer charging them.

 

Employers can not check your medical records without you releasing it to them. Medical records are kept with your doctor's office. The doctors office that gives you your medical marijuana recommendation has the record of you getting MMJ.

Dispensaries also keep your information. But they are not public records.

 

You'll need to go to a seperate doctor that specializes in MMJ to get the actual rec.

 

You sound like you are cheating the system and using it as legal way? Ha.

 

You should only go to one doctor and that is the MMJ specialist. Go in have a meeting with the guy, present your medical records or medications, if your all good then you pay the fee and you get your rec.

 

I'm sorry I'm not getting this all in order.

Are you asking what are the cons of smoking weed?
or
Are you asking what are the cons of getting a MMJ license?

 

"say that I have.. ..or whatever I have.."

Sounds to me like you don't actually have an illness/condition that qualifies you.

 

Right. If this is true, then go to an MMJ doctor, tell him your conditions and give him medical chart notes proving it, then you should receive a recommendation if you qualify.

 

Do you wanna know what's really fucking insane? My friend had a hot piss test and when they called her they actually asked if she was prescribed Marinol. When she asked why they said because if she was then they would just discount it and it wouldn't stop her from getting the job.


The thing is, I live in a state where you cannot get a prescription for Marinol.

 

You can get a prescription for Marinol in every state. It's an FDA approved prescription drug.

 

I wouldn't say there a cons, but don't think that a marijuana recommendation automatically protects you from authorities.

You can still be taken to court, you can still be arrested, you can still be fined, and jobs can still fire you if you test positive.

 

Yes you can grow outdoors.

 

No you go to a pro cannabis doc and walk out 30 minutes later with the recommendation.
You are putting way too much thought in to this, set up an appointment and go get it.
You'll laugh at this thread when you realize how fast and easy it was.

Don't know your age, but if you're 18+ with the money and living in California you could have had it by now in the days that you've been updating this thread.
