does anyone know where to get medical cards in los angeles without having to prove you have one of those "ailments".
 
You can pretty much go to any doctor and say that your back hurts or you have trouble sleeping or you have an eating disorder, and marijuana is the only thing that helps.
 
As far as I know, headaches are improvable. You can claim to have them all day long and there could never be any evidence of it.
 
^ so when you go to dispensaries you can apply for your card there??? I thought i read somewhere that dispensaries do not allow you to come in without a mmc already.
 
^ oh nvm...i went on weedmaps.com and i guess i only saw the dispensaries and not the doctors part.
 
theres no way you can get a card without proof of a need for it. so no chance of getting out of going to see a doc first.
 
I'm afraid this type of question isn't allowed, nor are links to dispensary rating sites. I've removed all the references to the latter and am closing the thread with this response. We can't tell you who will prescribe it or where to get it.

If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and you want to exercise that option as a patient, the best thing to do is find a cannabis specialist (do a Google search or look on the back pages of your local free paper) who can best advise you as a medical doctor as to how marijuana can best enrich your life.

It really isn't necessary to lie or exaggerate symptoms. Just be on time for your appointment and dressed neatly, be honest with your doctor, have copies of medical records if you can get them (most doctors don't ask) and once you have the right to use medical marijuana, don't put it in jeopardy by dealing or driving impaired.

The state ID card at least in California is not mandatory. Your doctor's note suffices under state law. Some dispensaries will issue you a dispensary ID card with your photo and a shrunken version of your physician's recommendation on the back so that you don't have to carry your papers on you (you should have a copy regardless, at all times).
