Looks like N.C. has a bill right now that is likely to legalize medical marijuana for a very limited number of conditions - not yet articulated - but stay tuned, keep up on your state's legislation this year. Eventually all this state nonsense will go away when the feds smarten up enough to decriminalize cannabis, it's just a matter of time. I agree about cannabis vs other pharmaceuticals. I don't do well with drugs like AD, I do just fine with cannabis. You will not feel the "high" you're thinking of from CBD, because it contains only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive part. Yes, cannabis would show up in a blood test, there's no faking your way through it. If you have a job or other situation where you have to test, you can't do cannabis. I don't know your condition, but if you want to know if it's one that is commonly on medical marijuana (MM) registries, it's easy enough to find out. Google "qualifying conditions" for just about any state. Here's a link to an article on MM legislation in your state.

These are the qualifying conditions for my state, to give you an idea.
Cancer
Multiple sclerosis
HIV or AIDS
Glaucoma
Crohn's disease
Parkinson's disease
Post-traumatic stress disorder
PTSD requires attestation that the patient is an active therapy client. This can be provided through the Mental Health Care Provider form, or by simply providing the contact information for your therapist.
Medical conditions that produce one or more of the following symptoms also may qualify: wasting syndrome, chronic pain, severe nausea, or seizures.
It would be irresponsible of me to suggest breaking the law to get it on your own. I have, and I'd do it again if I had to, but that's a chance you have to decide whether you're willing to take.

Thanks again for the intel. !!! I had read about that bill here in N.C. but....laughs..I grew up here in N.C. and N.C. is what it has always been..slow and/or late to the party and always..always full of bullshit judgements..pardon my language... but I'm 100% over this state. I think it's more than fair to say/think that as a purely medicinal bill/act it should have many, many more "qualifying" conditions... So..unless I leave the state altogether I will have to find a Dr. here that will understand both the importance of what cannabis can offer and one that can find a condition that would qualify me for a card....that will have to be renewed every year. So far the Dr.s I have seen here use a turnstyle and I have never even seen the same one more than twice. And.....as I'm sure I've already written in this thread I ask and they (the Dr.s) auto dismiss the idea due to the legality..or illegality..of that plant.... Full stop. end of discussion and then I am THAT old man.....That bill has to pass, first..and not get revoked by the next administration AND I have to find a Dr, that will basically stay with me for more than a visit or 2 AND be ok with prescribing that plant for use...With all respect....I worked for many decades as a Chef in Hotels and once the drug test became basically a condition of employment....I/we managed to find a way to get pass the test. The Feds test may very well be different and those old tricks may not work.....damnit WHY do I even have to think about getting around a law like that..?? That actually physically upsets me..The system itself is broken....I need to either pack my bags and get ready to move or figure out a way to get around the testing....or..laughs the last option..which is, for me, really not an option...just go towards the addictive light of big pharma and give up on any semblance of living a life without that monkey on my back for the rest of my days..on that I'll pass with much conviction. I'd rather be miserable. Thank you for taking the time and for the intel. If it's not asking too much..perhaps we could stay in touch here....?? You seem like you know a thing or two about the plant in question and I realize that I get way to wound up when I even think about the government here in N.C. doing something that would cost them very little.....actually even help them make money and actually help patients like me that do not want to become benzo junkies...but....let me stop right there, thank you again for your help and offer my friendship here .....however I can do that...??
