    In CA it's all cooperatives and non-profits selling it so you get awesome shit for street prices and without the hassle or worry about the fez.

      I am trolling tonight sgreger. It doesn't work too well on this forum unfortunately. As far as the card goes, I would have a difficult time just keeping a straight face while trying to talk my doctor into writing me a recommendation.

        You have to pay "street prices" for medicine? What's the street price down there?

        For instance, I spotted a strain of Northern Lights. 3.5g for $24 (that breaks down to a little over $6.85 per gram).

        -------------

        I also spotted a strain called 'Somantra' going at $15 for 3.5g (a little over $4.28 per gram)

          thank you

          As an American Joe you are free to donate or give money to any organization and/or elect any official into public office so that they can lobby for what YOU would like to see in this democratic republic. I choose to spend my money on protecting the things that I believe to be the most important to our country. If you would like to spend your money elsewhere than that is your right and I encourage you to do so. You are a very radical leftist and even Fox news would cringe at how you spin things, but you have to admit that many (most, in fact) Americans are pro-2nd amendment rights. You may not be, but until you get the bill of rights itself amended than you are out of luck.

            That's how it was when I got mine a while back when I still smoked. I was like talking to him and he was obviously baked out of his mind himself, and I was like "yah ive got anxiety" and he's like "Mmmmhh, okay then let's take a loot at your records. Okay I think this is medically necessary the girl at the front will get you your paperwork". I was like, "lol no way this is the process?".

              Street prices are about $10 a gram for some danky dank and about 35 an 1/8th depending. It's been a long time since I bought anything like that off the street though so these are numbers from several years ago. I imagine it's only gotten cheaper as the dispensiaries become more prevalent. I'm just saying that it's not like you are paying crazy taxes and fees on it, it's all non-profit (well, as non-profits go anyways) and costs the same as you would buy on the street.

                That's..... an interesting process.

                It's very professional here. You schedule an appointment and bring your medical records. They review the records, take your vitals, and record information of your overall health. The doctor discusses the benefits and risks of consuming cannabis, and (s)he informs you of RCW 69.51a (Washington's medical cannabis law). The doctor will also suggest other forms of therapy for your condition. In my case, it was suggested that I try naturopathy, acupuncture, and natural medicine (which I'm doing).

                Speaking of NDs, we're the only state in the union with a State Board of Naturopathy, and as such, we're the leading state in the union when it comes to NDs and natural medicine since they're now on the same playing field as MDs.

                  Isn't the second amendment supposed to give citizens the ability to challenge and keep the government in check? In other words the ability to overthrow a corrupt government by force if no other option is available, which would mean challenging the military of that government? You do know that's impossible today right? Assault rifles and guns aren't going to do anything against tanks, jets, bombs, remote control drones and trained soldiers. Hate to be that guy but the government can and will do whatever they want, but within reason so we stay productive.

                    $10 is the average price here. I would never pay more than $10 for meds. Fortunately, if you shop the 'competitors', you can find excellent medicine for a much lower price. Flowers that are lab-tested for its quality and the content of THC, CBD, CBN, and other cannabinoids.

                      Lol yah the process is not like that here. It's a five minute process (other than the part where you wait in line behind 20 other stoners to be seen) and you go in, he pretends to look at your records, you pay him $150 and then they give you your card. No questions asked essentially and no one gets turned down.

                        1) I don't think today's military (well, the majority anyways) would be down to fight a war against it's own people for the government. You never know though.
                        2) We fought off the Queen's navy and the largest military force in the world using guerrilla tactics and long rifles. It's happened before and it could happen again, look at Afghanistan and Iraq, we ain't exactly winning. Just wage war of attrition, eventually they run out of money and leave.

                          Yes, the power of the People is strong, and it needs to remain that way. Also, if the shit does hit the fan, I'm sure you'll see infighting within the military. You can't expect every military officer or soldier to blindly obey orders.

                          I don't see any of that happening in the near future... But, in 100 years from now? Who knows? I hope not. I want our union to prosper, but the government definitely needs some reform.

                          My fellow liberals would blow a gasket hearing me say that. Oh well, I stand by my words.

                            Ya I guess your right but still I don't think there was a huge technological gap between the British and American's at the time as there is now, between us and the government. But good point about Afghanistan and Iraq, I don't think we are winning but you can't really say they are winning either. Personally I don't own a gun, I want to get a license though. My sister and her husband are all about guns though, they even have a bomb shelter. I used to laugh about it but if anything does go down I'm driving straight there lol. Good thing shes not far away.

                              Bomb shelters weren't always a laughing matter. There were plenty of fallout shelters scattered around the country during the early years of the cold war against the former Soviet Union:



                              Now, don't take that as advise to build your very own fallout shelter. I'm just sharing an interesting piece of our history.

                                Ya I can imagine what a scary time that must have been. If I do get a bomb shelter I think a vault-tec is the way to go . I love that game, I remember playing the first one...
