Some questions: 1. Do a lot of people have marijuana liscences in the US? 2. How do you get one? Do you actually have to have cancer or are there lesser diseases that also make you qualify? I'm just curious after watching that South Park about it... |
1. No, California and Colorado are by far the biggest states with medical marijuana, but 15 states currently allow it. Also one funny thing in the District of Columbia where Washington DC is allows it. The capital of my hypocritical country!!!
2.I got mine just by saying I had chronic foot pain (pun intended) after breaking it twice and having to get surgery for it. Most of the people who have medical licenses in Colorado get it for chronic pain. So no you do not need a terminal illness to get one. People get it for anxiety, arthritis, glacoma, and probably many other less dibilitating diseases.
Oh and that South Park episode that is based in Colorado was making fun of the huge boom in medical marijuana that has been occuring over the past two years here. Pot is big business in Colorado it brings a lot of tax revenue and more and more people are getting medical to not be criminals. In fact, there is a popular bumper sticker that says "No pain no Jane." It is reflecting on the fact that most people say they have chronic pain to get the medical license. This condition can not be proven wrong as pain is a compleatly subjective experience. So it is showing how hypocritical the laws are, if you claim pain you have jane, but anybody else is a criminal. Talk about hypocracy.
