Asking for suggestions

I currently live in a state that has not caught up with reality and is just now starting to discuss legalization for medical purposes. I have Crohn's disease and out of desperation and research, have used marijuana to find out for myself that it helps very much and in many ways. I also have a strong sense of right and wrong that causes me to feel like I am guilty and a criminal for breaking the law by using and growing it. I can't tell my doctor or any care giver what I am doing out of fear of legal problems. They may agree with me, but I can't risk finding out what they believe. I want to feel like I could share this with other people without the risk of getting into trouble. The only person I have told is my father. He understands and believes the benifits because he is an open minded person and knows some of the things that I have been through due to the disease that I have. I am seriously considering relocating to California because the doctors and patients that use this legally are so far ahead of the community that I live in and I don't have the time to wait for logical thinking to catch up here. I am disabled and would need to sell my house as well as other things. I guess I am just wondering what people who are in a similar situation think. Does anyone understand my position???

Thanks, Rusty

Most MMJ users who move here for their conditions usually express gratitude that they are not considered criminals anymore. Stress reduction is usually an important element in any treatment of chronic illness. Maybe there's a Crohn's support group in some beautiful California locale that you can hook up with before you make the drastic relocation. Know before you go, and best of luck.

I am disabled with back pain.Got real tired of looking over my shoulder and worrying of losing my check for weed.So last march I was buying on contract nice home 300 a month.Wasn't worth being a criminal.Your disabled take care of what we have left.I did moved 2500 miles to southern oregon from indiana.Here you can talk to your dr about pot all you want.And they treat it like a lortab its a drug used as medicen for the sick and injured.When we have an outside event at local park.They put up a tent for card holders to medicate.Sell and move you won't regret it!

You are not a criminal. The laws which deny you something which has the power to alleviate your suffering are immoral. The criminals are those policy makers who defend the status quo ignoring the potential benefits of cannabis.

I would call a healthy person who commits fraud in order to get a med card a criminal, but not you.

I would not qualify for a med card, but I grow anyway. It is civil disobedience for me. In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau, Ghandi, and Martin Luther King.

It is my duty to disobey unjust laws.
