Good morning! I am almost positive that subject can and has been discussed on here. In fact, I saw a discussion someone had started on it. I live in Arizona and we can use it medically (with doctors prescription), for recreation and even allowed to grow a certain amount! If you would like, I can check around and see what is required legally and there might even be a Dr. in an adjoining state that is licensed in your state! Good luck to you and take care! @btsum68
Even if there was a medical marijuana program in your state, you would have to qualify for it. In my state there is a medical marijuana program, there are "recreational" use dispensaries, and it is legal to grow your own. Pretty liberal, but I still don't qualify for the medical marijuana card. Each state has a list of conditions for which they will give medical marijuana cards; the conditions are different in all states. To get the card you need a physical exam from your doctor, just to verify for the state you have a condition on the list. Some conditions can be found on just about every list, such as pain from cancer or other refractory pain, some conditions can't be found on any list, such as most mental health conditions or insomnia. You can find all this info online, no need to move to a state having no idea what their MM laws are. Because it is still illegal at the federal leveI, there is a dearth of quality research into effectiveness for many conditions. I have insomnia, for which I "self medicate" - that is to say I use it, my doctor even suggested it and certainly supports my use of it. Last summer I grew my own and have a ready supply, plan to do the same this year. It's a shame some doctors are so closed minded about it. It's a way to experience relief that doesn't give you a hangover or cause other side effects and health problems that prescription drugs do. It's not for everyone, makes some very anxious, sounds like you have some experience with it. Because laws are different in all states, and it is illegal federally, it is illegal to transport across state lines, regardless of legal status in your state. Also, there are conditions, mostly serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and illnesses that feature psychosis that would not be a good fit with cannabis; it can cause psychosis in those with some of these serious conditions. You mention both CBD and marijuana - I assume you do know that CBD does not contain THC and marijuana does contain THC, so big difference in effect. Good luck.
I specifically came to Mayo Connect today to see if anyone was talking about medically supervised psychedelic drug therapy!
