I have this chronic hair pain I've been suffering with for a while. Is there anything you can do for me, Doc?

At some point, I'm going to talk to my doctor about my difficulty getting to sleep. In the past, they've mentioned about how much better I was doing when I was active in sports, which I said that was when I was regularly consuming cannabis but have since stopped (because I don't have the black market connections). They're aware that cannabis helps me, but can't prescribe it for anxiety or depression, or even bring it up for discussion for what it could be prescribed for, because of the laws here. If, however, I'm having trouble sleeping, they might be able to prescribe me a herbal remedy which can be made into a tea (because selling dried plant matter for consumption via the lungs is illegal owing to potential harm).

... FUCK the laws around here!

That's cool that your area has legal medical. Here it's completely prohibited, and probably will be for another 300 years or so.

"Legal medical" is really stretching the situation. Almost no-one is aware that it is available via prescription, doctors aren't able to bring up the matter, and it's NZD300 for 10g.
