HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- As Bob Marley music wailed in the next room, the makeshift clinic hummed along like an assembly line: Patients went in to see a doctor, paid $150 and walked out with a recommendation that they be allowed to buy and smoke medical marijuana.

So it went, all day, at a hotel just blocks from the state Capitol that was the latest stop of the so-called cannabis caravan, a band of doctors and medical marijuana advocates roaming Montana that has helped thousands of patients apply for medical marijuana cards from the state.

Do you get a script for living in Montana? Seems like there has to be some medicine for that.

When I went through it looked like it would be very nice in the summertime. However, there aren’t a lot of people and I imagine doing much of anything in the winter is difficult. I was just poking fun at that.

I live in Montana and I believe all these medical marijuana smokers moved here from California. Well, I did too but I haven’t yet signed up for the marijuana plan, although it might be an interesting way to pass the winter months. I usually don’t spend the winter here though, either, so I guess maybe I can pass it up.
