It’s the easiest thing possible. Can do it on your phone in about 10 minutes. I can’t overstate how ridiculously simple it is.

Sure it's not hard but I wouldn't necessarily say it's super easy either.

the things I have to do to get med MJ in PA

  1. get medical records from primary doctor showing eligible condition/diagnosis.
  2. sign up on the PA medical marijuana website and pay $50 to get a patient number so I could schedule a 5 minute phone call with a certified MJ doctor
  3. pay $175 to a certified MJ doctor to read the documents my primary doctor provided and say "yep, sounds like you need weed"
  4. wait for MJ doc to validate the script on PA medical MJ website
  5. wait 1 month for medical MJ card

Things I have to do to get MJ in CA

  1. be 21
  2. go to weed store

It's a bureaucratic nightmare. Recreational MJ would certainly remove pretty much all that bureaucracy.

I registered, got approved and was waiting for my card to ship within 30 minutes without leaving my house. No records needed. If that’s not super easy I dunno what to tell ya.

nice - well I'm glad to hear that perhaps some of the red tape bureaucracy has eased a bit. Got mine back in 2020 so maybe covid played a role in my experience. Just felt like it took forever, was hard to identify who was actually a legit consultant, card took several weeks to get to me once approved.

Glad to hear that perhaps that isn't the norm for patients today.

I got my card in March 2022. Registered online, scheduled a phone appt online for later that day w/an approved doc, anxiety diagnosis made based on online registration with Dr. and 5 minute call, no supporting medical records required. I believe it took 6 days from Dr’s appt to receive my card in the mail. I think card was $50 and appt was $150?
