Pros and Cons of Getting a Medical Cannabis Card

If you’re on the fence about obtaining your medical cannabis card, knowing the pros and cons can help you make a decision.

Being a medical cannabis cardholder can come with several financial, cultivation, health, legal, and wellness benefits. You won’t face any consequences if you are stopped by authorities in your home state and have it in your possession. Additionally, medical cannabis is more affordable. Depending on where you live, if you’re a medical cannabis patient located in select US states, you are legally permitted to exercise your green thumb by cultivating your own cannabis plants in a private residence. Some cons of getting a medical cannabis card include, no legal firearm purchase, driving restrictions, and new application and renewal fees. Users of Schedule I substances such as cannabis, heroin, LSD, peyote, ecstasy, and meth, are prohibited from owning, possessing, purchasing, shipping, or receiving firearms and ammunition. Unfortunately, regardless of recreational or medical use status, cannabis users are federally prohibited from owning firearms and ammunition. Impaired driving while under the influence of cannabis is illegal in all US states. Anyone under the influence of cannabis is also restricted from using a Commercial Driving License. Disobeying these laws could result in a fine, a DUI, jail time, or a revoked license. Drugged driving is treated as equal to drunk driving. Some states offer waived or reduced fees for patients who can show proof of low-income status. Please note that health insurance companies are not required to cover medical cannabis fees. Depending on your unique situation, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of obtaining a medical cannabis card.

What is Rick Simpson Oil?

Rick Simpson oil is a highly potent, dark brown/black oil made from the flowers of the marijuana plant.

RSO contains numerous healing compounds and is unusually high in THC.

Scientist Rick Simpson, a medical cannabis activist from Canada, gave the oil its name. Simpson created a cannabis oil when he was suffering skin cancer and applied it to his skin. A few days later, the cancer spots on his skin were gone. RSO is a high potency cannabis extract, unique due to its high levels of THC. In states where medical and/or recreational cannabis is legalized, RSO can be found at cannabis dispensaries. RSO may be able to help with cancer treatment when combined with other therapies. Cannabis oils containing THC can help with vomiting and nausea from chemotherapy, treat pain, and improve appetite. Research on animals has shown that THC can potentially stop the growth of tumors, stop the cancer cells from spreading, and may even kill off the cancer cells. RSO has shown to be effective in also treating arthritis, asthma, chronic inflammation, depression, drug addiction, high blood pressure, insomnia, and multiple sclerosis. Individuals may also use RSO for pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and other complications of these conditions. However, it is important to note that there is little evidence to suggest RSO directly cures cancer, so patients are advised to continue their recommended medical treatment. Due to RSO’s high potency, overconsumption can lead to serious side effects, such as tachycardia and paranoia. Individuals should not drive or operate heavy machinery while using RSO. If taking other medications, it is recommended to be aware of potential drug interactions with RSO. Medications with potentially negative interactions include antidepressants, opioids, sedatives, and more.

I got lots of free stuff at the grand opening

The bag of free marijuana items included pre-rolls, concentrates, stickers, hats, t-shirts, and a couple of different eighth of top shelf marijuana flower

I work as an independent contractor and from time to time I help out with large contracts for other companies. One of the HVAC companies in the county won a bid to install equipment at a brand new marijuana dispensary. The company did not have enough technicians to handle every day repairs and maintenance and the contracting job so they looked for a couple of independent contractors. I was one of the people hired to work on their job. I spent 30 days working in the marijuana dispensary on all of the small things. When we were done with the job, the owner of the recreational and medical marijuana dispensary told us to come back for the grand opening. The grand opening was the following saturday. I asked my girlfriend to go, but she wasn’t interested in hanging out at a marijuana dispensary. I got lots of free stuff at the grand opening. I should have asked one of my friends to go along, so I could have had two bags of free stuff. The bag of free stuff was given out to every single person that walked into the building that night. The bag of free marijuana items included pre-rolls, concentrates, stickers, hats, t-shirts, and a couple of different eighth of top shelf marijuana flower. The bag of free marijuana items had to be worth $200 or more. I was pretty excited about the items I received and I smoked one of the pre-rolled marijuana joints as soon as I got back to my apartment. When my girlfriend came over, she complained about this smell.

The marijuana shop has three different daily specials

I ordered pizza from the delivery service and marijuana too.

The marijuana shop near me has three different daily specials. Every single day of the week, you can pick an item from the clearance bin for only a dollar if you spend $50 on any product. You can also get a penny pre-roll for every $50 that you spend. On every day of the week there is a different third special. On Mondays the special is on top shelf flower, but on Tuesdays the special is on concentrates. If you buy two items, you get a third one of equal or lesser value for only a penny. All of the different daily specials make it worth going to the marijuana shop. You can only get the penny pre rolls if you pick up or order in line. You cannot get penny pre rolls if you order for delivery. I didn’t know that you couldn’t get penny pre rolls with delivery until last week. My friends and I were hanging out at my place. I ordered pizza from the delivery service and marijuana too. My friends and I bet on which one of the shops would arrive first. I expected to get four pre-rolls with my order and there were no pre-rolls in the bag except for the ones that I ordered. I contacted the marijuana dispensary to complain about the missing items and that’s when I found out that the penny pre-rolls are only available for in-store purchases and not for deliveries. They should advertise that on the website, because I had no idea that was a rule.

Selecting delivery was an easy option

I like to order from the marijuana dispensary at the edge of town by the airport.

The dispensary is known for having extremely low prices.

I hardly ever go to the dispensary, because selecting delivery is such an easy option. It’s absolutely easy to order online. All of the categories are set up on the left side of the page and there is even a handy search feature just in case you want to look for a specific product or brand. When you are finished adding all of the items to the cart, the checkout process is easy. If you are already a customer, you can simply click on order now and everything goes right to the dispensary. If you are a first-time customer, then you have to give the dispensary a copy of your driver’s license. They want a scan or a picture of the front and the back as well as your name and address. It takes a couple of minutes to sign up the first time, but after that it is quick and easy. On Friday night I was entertaining a couple of friends and we ran out of pre-rolls. I didn’t want to take the time to roll up a bunch of marijuana joints, so I ordered a couple of pre-roll packages online and I had them delivered right to the house. While my friends and I were playing poker, we waited for the delivery. It was quick and easy and it took less than an hour to receive all of the marijuana products and items that I ordered.

The marijuana shop sales are always good

The marijuana shop near me always has really good sales.

On Mondays, the marijuana shop has a sale on everything in the dispensary. You can buy any two items and get a third for 50% off. On Tuesdays all of the edibles are 20% off. On Wednesdays there is a sale on all of the top shelf marijuana flower products. You can also buy house payrolls for only $5 on wednesdays. Thursday is the best day for sales, because all of the clearance items are wheeled out in a bin on that day of the week. There are no other sales at that time, but the clearance items are usually five or $10 each. They are marked down 70 or 80%. I tried to go to the marijuana dispensary near me on Thursdays, but I also go on Monday. I really like to be able to take advantage of the mix and match sale. If you buy four items, you qualify to get a fifth one for only a penny. The deals are really good and being able to mix flower with concentrate means being able to buy anything that I would and still save money. This week I bought two grams of concentrate. One was a sativa and one was an indica. I got an ounce of shake and a new cartridge for my vape pen and I still didn’t spend more than $140. On Thursday I’m going to take advantage of the clearance specials and then I will have even more great deals to brag about.

Not the usual kind of farm, or the usual kind of security guard job.

Ever since the factory went out of business, this whole community has entered an economic depression.

  • That factory was the financial backbone of this town, and its ruin has been the ruin of us all.

I worked as a nighttime security guard for the factory over the course of eight years. I can’t say it was the best job in the world, but it was secure, offered benefits, and paid well. Now I am out of work, along with several hundred other people, and the local economy is a total mess. As a way to make ends meet, I have taken a new nighttime security job at a small cannabis farm outside of town. It was never my goal to work on a cannabis farm, but it is the best job I have been able to find. Part of the reason Hank wanted to hire me is because I never smoke cannabis or use any other kinds of drugs. In the part Hank has had issues with his security guards poaching weeds from his cannabis plants and getting high at night. He knows that will never happen with me, mostly because of my asthma. I can’t smoke cannabis, tobacco, or anything else with my lungs. I am one of two guards that work on the cannabis farm, and we alternate shifts so that neither one of us get too tired out. I have only been working on the cannabis farm for a few nights, but so far everything is nice and calm. Hank is worried about cannabis thieves, but I haven’t seen any yet.

How I survived the War on Drugs

I first started selling cannabis back in the late 1980s, which was a wild time for weed.

This was in the middle of the highly-touted War on Drugs, which meant the federal government was sending an army of violent goons after everyone involved with the drug trade.

I would have understood if the government went after the high-level producers and distributors of dangerous drugs, but they didn’t do that. Mostly they went after street dealers and people with a few grams of cannabis. They imprisoned thousands of people for the most trivial offenses, which meant that selling some harmless dime bags of cannabis was a dangerous profession. I managed to skate through that era with no legal issues, thanks to a strict set of protocols I followed while selling cannabis. I was very cautious, which cost me some cannabis sales at first, but later worked to my advantage. My most paranoid customers, the people who were most afraid of being arrested for cannabis, became my most loyal clients, because they knew I was just as paranoid as they were! I sold cannabis to school teachers, ministers, doctors, lawyers, and even a couple of police officers. I never hired anyone to help me, even when my workload increased, because I knew every other person who knew the details of my cannabis operation could send me to jail if they got caught. I kept a low profile, always used burner phones instead of landlines, and only sold one strain of cannabis, because I personally knew the guy who grew it. That’s how I survived the War on Drugs.

Smoking cannabis at the gym

I stopped going to the gym because they wouldn’t let me smoke there.

  • I couldn’t smoke in the weight room, of course, but these jerks wouldn’t even let me light up in the parking lot! Their official rules stated that no smoking was allowed anywhere on the property.

I know they are a gym with a focus on health and wellness, but this is still America I should be able to smoke where I want. If I only smoked cannabis maybe it would have been different, but I still smoke a lot of tobacco, too. This is why I sunk a little money into converting my garage into a weight room, so I can smoke all the cannabis and tobacco I want when I lift weights. For some reason the other gym-rats all find cannabis more tolerable than tobacco, perhaps because cannabis doesn’t kill millions of people with lung cancer. Also, there is the fact that cannabis is non-addictive, and cigarettes are basically the most addictive thing this side of heroin. Anyway, I made myself a humble little gym in my garage, and put an ashtray in every corner so I could smoke cannabis and tobacco all through my workout sessions. Sometimes people come over to work out with me, but they always end up smoking cannabis and just watching me lift. I guess that cannabis doesn’t have the same impact on people that it does on me, because getting high always makes me want to lift more weights! Am I the only person here who likes to get high and exercise?
