I've been holding off on the card for a few reasons. I know medical marijuana cards seem like a progressive step in the right direction, but it seems to me like the whole idea is that I'm paying the state for a card that says not to arrest me for something I'm going to do anyways. My doctor has ok'ed it for years, and regardless of what the government thinks, they aren't my doctor, so it's none of their business. I can't think of another recorded case of patients having to fill out a government form and submit a fee for a card to use a plant that has already been recommended by their doctor and has been in medicinal use for thousands of years. Doesn't it seem odd to anyone else when people just go to the pharmacy for every other drug while we have to jump through bureaucratic hoops for something safer than alcohol? The state doesn't even have a single distribution center/club set up, and does not offer assistance in getting the drug, so I don't understand what the fee is for. I guess my question would be, what do you get for $75 besides the slightly lower chance of being arrested for something that 70%+ of us think isn't a crime?
