Reply to comment by Longtermthrowaway5 in Let Marijuana Patients Grow NJ! by swissarmyspliff

Well I guess you asked if someone gets off medical marijuana verses the average drug. I guess it would depend on the user but it’s def not addicting & doesn’t cause side effects like other prescription pills when you stop using it 🤷🏼‍♀️

but how often do weed doctors ask their patients to get off it? Do they often suggest regular follow up appointments after they prescribe a medical card? or are they not very concerned if people stay on the medication indefinitely?

Im not sure I haven’t been asked to get off. Yes they refill the script can be 3 months, 6, 9 up too a year. Then every 2 years you need to renew the card. You would still have to have the qualifying medical condition a lot are uncurable chrons, MS, Parkinson’s, terminal cancer children under 18 with terminal illness etc

because if you refer to the original comment I made, it was a criticism of the type of doctors that put writing marijuana prescriptions front and center on their advertising and signage. The ones who are often used by people who want a medical marijuana card for recreational use rather than a pressing medical need. That's what I was talking about

and on the other subject, you criticized all other drugs as being a scam that keeps people sick when people need to use them indefinitely and don't cure a disease. is insulin a scam? is medicine used to regulate blood pressure a scam? My point is, just because it isn't intended to cure a disease doesn't mean the doctors/medical industry want you sick. As you pointed out, marijuana is a drug that is not intended to be cure anything but rather be used indefinitely.

You are not applying the same logical reasoning to marijuana that you are to other drugs.
