Cops will do what they do and advise; "Tell it to the judge."
I'm thinking that any doctors' rec is better than none, but have 'legal defense money' handy.

Yeah, I have schizophrenia and I actually find that a little bit of herb helps me calm down about delusions and voices when they get to me and be more calm and trusting of people and communicate better, whereas otherwise I am often too paranoid.
I don't want to take the perscribed medications because of the side effects, and doubt of efficacy, I figure my as well stop putting chemicals in my body, I wouldn't smoke at all anymore if it wasn't for the way it helps me when otherwise I would be doing stupid things/getting sent to the hospital. I just talked to my doctor today about it, he says he can't recommend it because its not proven, but neither are the pescribed meds, there are studies that show increased relapse rate of people who take anti psychotics to hospitals than those who don't, what i really need is someone to talk to to work some of this stuff out in the long run, but that is hard to find, in the meantime, weed makes me more willing to talk about it, but when I use it I have to worry about legal issues..
please doctors, read the studies, there is no proof one way of the other on marijuana yet, in cases like cancer its proven to be very effective cure, and there are many other ailments that it can also be helping with, we just have to open our eyes and let it show us, not be scared of it
if anyone finds a doctor let me know!

Welcome Captain, you join here a group of like minded people. Small, steady use works for me, too.
A huge body of knowlege is at hand to further your education, and for your enjoyment.
Sneakinesss is 1st line of defense from legal 'issues'.

thanks propa gator, its too bad a lot of people feel they have to be sneaky, when really they should not, the people every right to use marijuana for medicinal, spiritual, or recreation purposes, as its been proven again and again to be not only one of the least detrimental herbs we can use, but beneficial in many cases for a wide range of people.

we should be able to be honest, but reading this site gives me hope, I see the progress other states have made and the sanity shown by many judges in court rulings. Its time to stop abusing our own people for making the sometimes life-saving choice to use cannabis, people have enough troubles as it is, maybe a reasonable legal system based on truth would do a world of good, and in the unexpected ways too.

i don't know, I just know the day its legal I plan to start growing my own plants.

I found a psychiatrist who so far perscribes the herb in pill form for side effects, Dr. Alen Salerian in DC, I figure that is something, I feel like doctors here are trying, if we go and explain to them, and also listen to what they have to say, and there is listening on both sides, and understanding, I think things will be good, all it takes is a simple note, some responsible people, and a world of good can come from it.

things are changing here

To become a licensed physician here in the US, your first 30 or more years are given. To stand alone against the Fed would be professional suicide.

I feel like doctors here are trying

Hi everyone...I know Maryland you cant really get a script as of yet ..to use marijuana legally for medical use or otherwise, but I am looking for a dr. that will give me a recomendation. I have used Marijuana since 1980 and I am a professional. I use it for depression and FM.. It relaxes me and I want to be able to obtain a recomdation by a Doctor that is willing to put it in writing. A fine of $100 is better then any time you could serve. I live in Hazzard County..as we call it. The cops here are crazy..I know a friend who got charged with manufacturing just for a seed found on the floor of his car. I know many more stories, and here it is a 90% conviction county..so we really need some help here, but, all the stuffy law makers here, are apauled by the marijuana laws. They just want to put ya away for the use of it...or put ya on probation, so you smoke and screw up and go to jail..hang ya on probation like a nuce.... The cops still arrest and raid homes here for people who use it. I would like some protection for my use, because I really do use it for medical use, just not prescribed. Can anyone on here help me find a doctor in Maryland who will help?
