My questions go like this:
- How long do I have to live in CA before being able to apply for my card?
you need an address and a CA state ID, that's all they ask for.
- Do I have to have three months of addressed envelopes or something with me like DMVs in some states like to see?
i didn't need mail, just my DL
- If I were to go to MMEC and lay out my viable conditions, would they be more comfortable with me telling them about my pot experience and how it's helped me?
my doc at medicann was happy to hear about my use of mj. try and get an expansion of your minimum possession if you can swing it.
- Do clinics limit how much you can get per day? (I know there's the state/county limit, but I mean-- aside from that).
i've been to some that say 1 oz max per day, others that have no prob. dishing out lbs. check out hope net in SF.
- I hear all this 30-minutes and I got my card stuff, but in all honesty, how long does it take / how far ahead should I book an appointment?
i called the day before on a whim, got in the next afternoon, waited in the lobby for 10-15 minutes, spoke to the doc for 10-15 mins and waited in the lobby for my documentation for another 5 minutes. then I went home.
- How much extra is it to register with state, and is it worth it?
if you are paranoid and can afford it, do it. i can't afford it currently as my county doesn't make it very easy, price wise.
w/ that paperwork you are going to have SUCH an easy time with it, dude. welcome to wonderful CA, make sure to buy some edibles and clones from the cannabis clubs!
