Well, if you want to try, just go buy some. If your wife has an opioid prescription, you can get a medical card, but to my understanding, it just makes the price of the products lower, and lets you buy a larger quantity. There may be some products which are only available to medical card holders, but if there are, there aren't many.
Like I said, even without a medical card, up to five plants is a $200 fine. With the electricity and effort and equipment, it's probably going to cost you less for better quality if you just buy from a shop and let the professionals do the growing (unless you're one of those professionals, of course).
so I don't think you understand. We spend a lot on medical already and marijuana without a card is very expensive and we just don't break the law because we think we can. If the law just allowed grow then we would likely try it. Just fyi the amount of doctors who other folks who have no concept of our single income barely making it world who say, hey just buy this thing out of pocket. Drives me nuts. I understand that you don't necessarily understand my situation but we actually do in some case spend some additional out of pocket but it is very economically challenging for us. Case in point is insurance will not cover prp which we have found works but will cover another surgery. So its like a game of chicken. The surgery would cost the insurance waaaaayyy more than prp but its also does not always end well as we well know. Another case was they use to pay for this post surgery machine that automatically runs cold/hot cycles and preassure which is clinically proven to improve outcomes and they used to cover it. Know why they don't now. Medicare stopped and most insurances use medicare billing codes. So they stopped. Anwyay we do not have unlimited resources to pay for unlimited amounts of out of pocket with medical costs.
