Useful Information About Your Medical Marijuana Card

My state has recreational cannabis, so why would I need a medical card?

Medical marijuana patients have several benefits that recreational users don't. Recreational states like California tailor their laws to make access more affordable and convenient for medical cannabis patients. These benefits include:

1. No State Sales and Use Tax (Revenue and Tax Code 34011) 
   
   Prop 64 adds language to section 34011 providing a tax break for medical patients with a state-issued MMIC. Local and excise taxes will still apply, but it's a substantial discount.
   
   
2. Parental rights protection (Health and Safety Code 11362.84)
   
   Patients legally using medical marijuana in California can no longer have their children removed just because they use cannabis.
   
   
3. Right to carry more than an ounce (Health and Safety Code 11362.71(e))
   
   Medical marijuana patients have the right to possess as much cannabis as their doctor says they need. The state sets a standard limit of 8 ounces of dried cannabis, but the doctor can set that limit higher if it is reasonable. This is far more than the ounce that recreational users are allowed to possess. Of course, a patient might still be arrested if law enforcement believes they're violating any other law, but probable cause is required for such an arrest.
   
   
4. More retail choices and delivery options
   
   Many cities and counties in California still ban all recreational sales, but some of those still allow medical cannabis. You'll need a card to access these medical-only dispensaries.
   
   
5. More product choices
   
   Because you can access more dispensaries with a card, you'll also have more choices for products. Medical patients can also purchase more potent edibles than recreational patients. Need an exotic or hard-to-find strain? You'll have a better chance of finding it with a medical card.
   
   
6. You can cultivate more plants in some jurisdictions
   
   Some municipalities are attempting to only allow cultivation of six plants, regardless of patient status. But most allow medical patients to cultivate more with a medical card. In some cities, only medical patients are allowed to cultivate outdoors. The advantages will depend on your specific location, but it's worth looking in to!
   
   
7. The only legal option for those under 21
   
   It's still against the law to purchase, possess or use recreational cannabis if you're under 21 and don't have a medical recommendation.

Useful Information for California MMJ

What is a medical marijuana recommendation & Why do I need one?

A medical marijuana recommendation is a legal document provided by a qualified doctor that allows a patient to either buy cannabis right away, or apply for the required state-issued card. Whether your state requires you to get their official card, or allows you to purchase with just a recommendation, the recommendation is always the first step to buying medical cannabis. You must have a "qualifying condition" to receive a recommendation for cannabis, and the conditions vary by state.

California has a very broad list of qualifying conditions compared to other states. Prop 215's authors wanted to make sure that it's the doctors, not the legislators, that make the medical decisions for their patients. Most know that Prop 215 was the nation's first successful medical marijuana voter initiative. What most don't know is that Governor Pete Wilson had already vetoed an attempt by the legislature to legalize medical marijuana in '95.

So when Prop 215's authors added the phrase "any other illness for which marijuana provides relief," to the initiative, they were just making sure that the overzealous regulators kept their laws out of our medical decisions.

Prop 215's critics still argue that its language is too permissive because it allows doctors to provide cannabis for what they see as mild conditions like headaches or stress. But this was just what initiative co-author Denis Peron wanted. After the initiative passed, Peron said "I believe all marijuana use is medical--except for kids." He probably couldn't have predicted that the first FDA approved cannabis use would be for Epidiolex to treat childhood seizure disorders.

The list of qualifying conditions in California is:

• Cancer
• Anorexia
• AIDS
• Chronic pain
• Spasticity
• Glaucoma
• Arthritis
• Migraine
• Any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.
  
  

Did your doctor say no, or not offer, because they didn't know??

Often, family doctors won't issue a medical cannabis recommendation because they don't understand its potential benefits. Almost no medical schools offer classes about the endocannabinoid system, which is the system of receptors in the body that respond to cannabinoids. Services like NuggMD help to in this cannabis healthcare gap.

NuggMD's highly-qualified doctors know how cannabis is used to treat medical conditions. They won't say no, because they know how beneficial cannabis can be. So don't be afraid to ask questions during your visit. Your NuggMD physician is happy to share their experience and knowledge with you.

A Brief History of Cannabis Prohibition

Cannabis use has spanned thousands of years. The oldest records of use date back to neolithic China, where it was called ma. Its use for food, medicine and industrial purposes spread around the globe and was even successfully cultivated in the United States--at least until the 1930s.
Federal prohibition began in 1937, and less than 100 years later, prohibition is thankfully collapsing in the footprint of the failed War on Drugs. Unfortunately in that short time, a lot of damage was done. Cannabis was the number one target for law enforcement, not because it caused the greatest harm, but because it was the easiest to detect. As a result, tens of thousands of drug convictions were for a substance that has not killed a single person, while very harmful drugs circulated undetected. The US prison population exploded while violent gang activity reached every corner of the nation.

Now, the United States has the world's largest prison population--not per capita--but actually the most people in prison anywhere in the world. Our population is roughly 325 million, but we have over 2.12 million prisoners. Even China has less prisoners than us at a mere 1.65 million, even though they have four times our population. This is a very sad distinction to hold, and most experts agree that cannabis prohibition and the War on Drugs is the main underlying cause.

The passage of Prop 215 was the nation's first step toward ending cannabis prohibition. Now, just a couple of decades after a small group of activists convinced California to legalize cannabis as medicine, we have legal medical cannabis in 33 states and 10 states and DC. More are joining the fold every year.
Even more encouraging is the federal government's decision to reschedule CBD from Schedule 1 to Schedule 5. As a non-psychoactive compound, it should be completely de-scheduled, but the feds will probably be the last to admit their prohibition mistakes.

Obtaining a medical marijuana recommendation is more convenient now too! Modern tablets, PCs and smartphones give patients the option to use telehealth. A telemedicine visit still offers the same excellent service and care, just without the inconvenient drive and wait. In fact, a set of guidelines was released by the Federation of State Medical Boards in 2014 to "remove regulatory barriers to widespread appropriate adoption of telemedicine technologies for delivering care." Both telehealth and cannabis were among the top five most important medical regulatory topics in 2016.

A few states, like New York and Nevada, call for a two-way video teleconference when recommending cannabis. Others, like California, allow patients and doctors to complete interviews over the phone if necessary. Whichever option the patient uses for their evaluation, anf electronic copy of their doctor's recommendation will be delivered through email while the physical copy is delivered in the mail. Once the electronic copy of the recommendation arrives in email, it can be used to immediately start the application for a state-issued card, or to purchase cannabis at a dispensary for states that allow purchase with just a rec.

Cannabis patients used to wait for days or weeks to access their medicine. Now you can become a qualified patient in a single day. It doesn't get easier than that.

Be sure to plan for state registration fees as well; these fees are separate expenses from your doctor's visit. These fees help cover the state's expenses for running their medical marijuana programs. In California, the MMIC program is voluntary and costs $100. Medi-Cal patients receive a 50% discount from this price. In Nevada, the mandatory Registry ID program costs $50 for one year and $100 for two years. There are no discounts in Nevada for a patient in need. In New York, a Registry ID card is the only option for legal use and costs $50.
