Trying to set up medical marijuana

So, I think I'm gonna finally bite the bullet and go to a clinic and get a medical marijuana recommendation. My buddy I was getting my smoke from has moved out of town, and I'm tired of the hassle of trying to hook it up and stuff. Not that I don't know a ton of people i can get some from, but it would be SO much more convenient to be able to just walk into a store and buy it.
Not sure how the clinic deal works in this state (Washington). All the clinics say that you gotta have previous medical records and stuff (which I don't), but I've heard from others who have been through the process that this isn't really true once you get there.
So I called the office and asked to set up and appointment with the doc. The receptionist was all asking me what I wanted to see him for. I was all kinda sheepishly saying that I had back pain and was looking for non opiate pain relief. She was all like- "so you are looking for medical marijuana? Why didn't you just say so? I'll have the doc call you back. So now I'm waiting to hear back. Hoping to get this taken care of today, but I dunno

LOL. Yeah like I said, it's not like I can't get it from any number of people, but I just would really enjoy the convenience of not having to set it all up and stuff. Would be nice to just be able to walk into the dispensary

Plus with the whole dynamic of possible legalization and the big monkeywrench that could potentially throw into the whole equation, I think I'd like to get my card now before any possible shitstorm

still not sure how I feel about the measure. I've heard very compelling arguments for and against it. For me, I would rather see another state do it first and go through the "growing pains", then go forward in my state with an informed and sensible measure. Some of the DUI provisions sound sketchy, and the fact that it won't legalize growing pot. Seems like it could neatly hand the whole industry into the hands of a greedy few. that's not what I want to see happen.

i think OR would be a good state to do it first. We should both do it together.
It's not that big and scary. I just don't want it regulated the same way alcohol is here but, what can I do? The Oregon measure, measure 80, is set up to make the system exactly that way but I think getting it legalized and proving that the world won't fucking melt away is a great first step.
I was feeling just as you are about my state though. I understand.
I say legalize the shit and let it get weird for a minute then make the necessary changes to make it better. It needs to be legal.

Still working on this shit. I might just have to go to one of the clinics in Seattle that specialize in this stuff. In my relatively small town, it seems the docs are pretty scared of making a bad rep. I've been in communication with a naturopath who can do it, and who my friend who runs a dispensary recommended, but he wants me to get imaging done. I don't really wanna have to pay the extra money for an image, nor do I want the extra unnecessary radiation involved.
Waiting to hear back from the doc. I might just have to say fuck it and drive an hour or so to Seattle.

Dude. Wait 30 days and see if your states new marijuana law passes. You might be wasting time and money to find out in a few weeks that it is legalized.

yeah, but I'm also concerned about some of the possible shitstorm that could happen to the whole industry as a result of this bill. Wanna get in "before the lock" so to speak. Just in case shit gets weird.

Yeah, I feel your pain then. The California bill was so horribly flawed, but I had no choice but to vote for it. How can you not vote for legalization? Guess its irrelevant at this point, I just hope they come back with a better bill in the future.

There are 3 key states (to the best of my knowledge) that have bills up for vote this fall. Washington, Oregon, and Colorado. I'd like to see Oregon or Colorado pass first and observe the shitstorm before crafting SENSIBLE legislation in my state. That's kinda my take on it. The main criticisms that I am aware of with the Washington bill are that it doesn't allow just anyone to grow, and that it sets a dangerous standard for DUI arrests. You can't apply the same DUI concepts to MJ as you do to alcohol. It stays in the blood stream too long. this could potentially affect the mobility of many marijuana users. I guess it could indirectly encourage public transport too, but that's a whole other tangent.
