Answer 2

According to 60 minutes you just need to find a shady doctor and tell him your toe hurts.

In actuality it is probably much harder.

If you have an ailment that could benefit from marijuana I am certain your doctor would write you out a prescription for it. As far as I understand it you just need to have a chat with your friendly MD. If it is one you usually go to and he is understanding and knows your background (that you are actually in need of pain reliever, under a lot of stress and need to relax etc. opposed to just wanting to have spliffs for parteeeeying) he will probably help you out. If it is a young doctor, chances are he smokes it himself.

Answer 3

Go for it.

Answer 4

Just to give you a heads up -- although state law allows medical marijuana it is STILL a federal offense.  

Many people have still been arrested under federal drug statutes and have gone to jail.

ESPECIALLY if they don't have a legit reason (and even if they do)
