"If you don't qualify, we refund 100% of your money."

Say no more, say no more.

MM "doc in a box" businesses sprouted up on every corner in Kalifornia. That is all those sleezy MDs do in their practice - write MM card Rx. Easy cash flow, no X-ray, no RN, no PA, no lab, low cost malpractice insurance, no on-call...

But it's Mah Constee Tush Shun All Right!!!! Commuh-nists trying to infringe on mah rights!!

How could this ever go wrong? Ask Portland, Denver, Alaska,.........

This is awesome. Bring on the weed!

I have no problem with this at all

follow the $

@2:21 please enlighten us about all of the problems in the areas you mentioned.

Meanwhile in the pain cream scheme.......

Bring it on! God forbid we have a vibrant new industry in the state...

Right 2:41, consider the pain cream scheme. That was a problem, not because the pain cream caused the problem, but because the docs abused the system to their benefit.

MM is what the people asked for. It's up to the policing entities to keep the grifters from grifting.

Should have never allowed cars, because we're polluting the environment.
Should have Never allowed 4 lane highways, because people speed.
Should have never allowed the internet because people will use it for bad acts

The people said they wanted MM. The legislature never would do anything about it. So, they lost some control of legislating around it. Deal with it.

Under conditions that qualify for medical marijuana, it includes:

"Any other chronic condition that a physician concludes that cannabis would provide a safe, effective treatment."

About 10 years ago, I was working in California and saw one of the medical marijuana clinics/shops. I asked our client what medical condition qualifies for a prescription and he said "anything that you can think of".

Will some of the area package stores become pot clinics? Asking for a friend.

Does 2:36 think Portland is normal?

The state has almost another year to get the program up and running, so any website advertising this already is just a scam. They don't even know the rules yet. Just because a website is running a scam doesn't mean the program won't be run well and be legit.

Medical marijuana cards should not be available via telemedicine any more than fentanyl, methadone and hydrocodone. How do you think doctors are going to make any money?

Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana figured it out and those are all solid conservative states. And the sky didn't fall yet in those states either. Relax people!

They charge $200 to get your card when you can skip the card and just buy that small amount off the street for next to nothing. Half the fun of this is being illegal. Now they have taken all that away.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll keep getting my weed the traditional way, as will most folks worried about their "constitutional rights." I have no interest in willingly signing up to be on the various lists that come along with a MM card.

Medical Pot is a good and needed thing for many reasons. Most importantly it allows those that live the straight and narrow a way to legally access medicine for themselves and their children that they otherwise could not or would not get.

And to all the folks that believe marijuana use is going to explode and spread like wildfire across the state, I'm sorry but that is just not true. Weed is easier to find than a roll of toilet paper and if you have any interest in trying it or using it regularly you are already smoking it. Ask your preacher, your grandmother, your business partner, your righteous politicians, etc. because a lot more people than you would ever expect smoke at some level, even if its socially "once in a blue moon."

Jill Little Ford is scheduling prayer conferences all over the state. Not sure if she's responding to The Lord or the Real Estate Market. Stand by...

Telemedicine is great for certain things. This ain't one of them.

It's been perfectly fine in Denver. Good old conservatives want less governmental interference unless it's something they don't like.

3:08 - everything you say may be correct. "

The people did want MEDICAL Marijuana - but as this proves, there is nothing about medicine or medical anything in how the industry got this written.

The Doc's (these type so-called Docs) are not going to do anything but get a name, address, SSN, and a CHECK and issue a license. So - this is not for medicinal purposes like Joel and his buddies claimed, this is for anybody that can afford the $200 and wants a joint.

Same scam has existed on buying those little blue pills - go to your regular doctor and get a script, or just order them online (you may be getting the real thing or maybe not), talk to the Doc for two minutes and you have your script.

All that bullcrap they sold of I65 about its Medical, not recreational - glad you bought it. Or if you actually knew better, glad you can now buy your 10 joints a day for your "aches and pains"

USCCA: Federal law prohibits medical marijuana users from possessing or buying firearms and ammunition — even if state law allows the drug’s use. An individual can’t have both licenses. Under federal law, any marijuana user is an unlawful user of a controlled substance. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld this rule. Marijuana in any form is illegal under federal law. Users of marijuana are prohibited persons. Checking ‘no’ on question 11(e) on the Form 4473 would be a lie if you use marijuana, which is a federal offense.

3:59 - they have programs that were not written in stone by the marijuana industry. They have legitimate 'medical' programs that were developed with the input of doctors and the medical community. Yes, they figured it out and that's why the bunch that wrote our constitutional amendment made sure that they couldn't restrict the sale in any way.

Different programs, different results.

Y’all are so funny....

Have you heard of an ACE up the sleeve?
Look for it....

Most predictable thing ever. BuT dOnT yOu cArE aBOuT CaNcER pAtIeNtS???

Jill Ford Prayer Breakfast to Stop Marijuana, sponsored by the American Pharmacy Cooperative, the Mississippi Rx PAC and the Mississippi Association of Realtors. Among others. Check the campaign reports.

Please little baby Jesus protect us from those miscreants who are in pain and begging for relief. You know we don't want to cart them all down to Jackson and let them out behind buildings. They really need to stay on Opioids and out of our brick strip malls.

So what?!?

That's just what this state and all the rest need. You already have a citizenry with a less than room temperature IQ and the attention span of a gnat. The legalization of mind altering drugs is sure to help the situation. Look out idiocracy here we come. It really is a smart move by those that wish to be in charge. An ignorant people are easier to rule.

7:50...you know mind altering drugs are legal already right? The pharmacy is chock full of them and millions are already addicted. This whole argument is to stifle competition for pain relief. That's all.

5:39...and that's on our legislature. Kudos to the legislators in Louisiana and Florida and Arkansas. Look for Alabama and Tennessee citizens to follow our lead and force the issue.

Wait a minute. Didn't Oregon decriminalize all drugs? Let's see how long before the other leaders in pot legal states follow this genius move.

Yes, I'm aware that mind-altering drugs are legal, now. I left out the word "more". My point still stands, unless you didn't understand my point. This will only add to the already, too, long list of mind-altering drugs available to a population that is barely functioning, now. For what ever reason, alcohol, a mind-altering drug, and marijuana, a mind-altering drug, are seen as harmless and therefore socially acceptable. It's alright though, there's noway these socially acceptable drugs will ever be a detriment to society. In case you missed it, that last sentence was sarcasm.

For the record I don't do alcohol or weed. So that you will know who I am, my non de plume is anonymous.

@2:41 -- Do you not have a problem with pharmacists (and some non-pharmacists) charging $20,000 for a month's supply of pain cream, scar cream and a vitamin? What if I told you that the pain cream was basically Icy Hot, the scar cream basically Vitamin E, and the vitamins basically a Centrum crushed up and put in a fancy capsule?

The manipulation of the formulas that make up these compounds is the bigger issue no one is talking about...the pharmacy board allows it. That was the main objective for most, if not all, of these bogus compounding pharmacies -- let's see what formula we can put together that will pay us the most while doing nothing more for the patient.

Don't give me all this bribery is bad, we need to get these crooks. It is bad, but not the real issue. There are more crooks and "legal" bribery at 400 High St than all the pain cream schemes going on nationally, but I digress.

The second stitch is that the pharmacy benefit management companies rubber stamping these Rxs/costs. Don't you think if these companies were doing their job someone might say, "hey, it seems strange that every one in this particular household (ex. 2 adults, 2 kids) is getting the same Rxs every month to the tune of $20,000/each. Maybe we should look into this?"

And then there are the insurance companies...I will not start on them. I have a disdain for insurance companies. Yes, I have personal experiences that have helped form my opinion.

Regardless of my personal opinions, the pharmacy board should not be allowing this type of manipulation and should actually vet the compounded substances before allowing them to hit the market.

People who get a MM card as about as bright as people who join the NRA. If you think the gub'ment is gonna take away your guns, where do you think the gub'ment will look first to find guns?

Tell us 11:45, where will they look first.
