Is there any state legally distributing "medicinal" marijuana? Does having a prescription for marijuana make it any more legal than just seeking it out on your own?

I am a medical Marijuana parient from Long Beach, CA. I got it prescribed for chronic back pain. The state of California distributes no pot, However co-operatives run by medical marijuana patients sell pot legally to other patients. Ordinary patients can get "caregiver" status meaning they can grow pot not just for their own use, but for as many patients as they can prove they supply to. Being a medical Marijuana patient does afford special rights...you are allowed to buy and sell pot with impunity from other patients, and you can grow pot for personal use, even in California. I go to the Inglewood Medical Marijuana co-op and buy medical grade bud with my credit card. The only bummer is it costs more than it does on the street. $65 and eighth versus $50. Hope I could enlighten some who didn't know that a medical marijuana perscription is a get out of jail card!

You wondering but is it better than the stuff the Canadian Government is growing? I've heard it's as bad as old rope.

No offense, but you speak the jargon of a doper.

If you don't mind my asking, what is the nature of your back problem & how would you describe the relief you receive from MJ?

Also, do you notice any variance in pain relief with different strains or crossbreeds of MJ?

No one has been jailed for simple marijuana possession in California ever since Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill which decriminalized it over 30 years ago.

The fact the legal marijuana costs as much or more than illegal marijuana undercuts the whole argument that prohibition inflates its price and encourages its distribution.
