They prescribe it to help control the pain and nausea for people getting chemotherapy for cancer.

epilepsy. Mental disorders that is really a myth.. rather U might say U had Mental Disorganization of the Mind or something similar to that.. Disorders are caused by something.. even so called mental disorders/disorganization.. find the cause and
then eliminate the cause if possible. Stress is one of the main causes of Mental Disor'.
We can't eliminate stress but we can reduce it!
All U need is a little essential oil.. it can be Marijuana.. just put this in a vaporizer. U'll get more health benefits from it that way than if U smoked it!

I am told not everywhere in California is it legal?
They do for arthritis, head injuries. I have herd it is prescribed for cancer, MS (Montel Williams has a marijuana card too).
You do need prof of your conditions, you also have to do a criminal background check. Not everyone is approved.
I am legal in Oregon...
Call this number they can answer so many more questions then I can about this. They will ask you what state you are from 1-800-723-0188.

it depends on where you live. i live in humboldt county california and here they give it to pretty much anyone for pretty much anything as long as you have about 100 to 200 bucks.
it helps with lots of things.
~joint pain
~headaches
~nausea
~even cramps!!
it also helps to relax people and help with anxiety. but careful because with some people it can make it worse! and i've been told i'ts also a depressant like alcohol (it's a downer) so it's not so great to use if you're already depressed. i was diagnosed with depression when i was 13 and have taken meds for it since (i'm 20 now). when i smoked it didn't make me more depressed. but i just got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and i'm on new meds now. and now when i smoke it makes me even more depressed and i don't like it anymore. it also makes me feel more anxious and paranoid.
it's a very personal thing. you might just want to give it a try and see how it goes for you. it affects everyone differently.
i like to use it mostly for cramps and when i'm feeling sick. but sine you deal with self injury ( i do too) you might want to be careful and start very slow.
good luck.

Can be used for depression,a weight enhancer,for as a pain control - I would advise you to speak to your primary doctor first and see what he/she says.Then you can try to get a "Medical marijuana card".Only advice that I can give to you on this matter at the moment.

from your own discription of your medical problems i suggest you stay away from medical marijuana. it's not for you. what? you want to know whatt it is prescribed for so you can claim those symptoms?
good luck with claiming chemotherapy if you've not had cancer.

I gave it to my husband (Bad Motorcycle wreck) who had insanely high BP too. He is off the BP meds for about 3 months now and his BP is better than normal since he started Med MJ. In fact his doctor dropped about three other prescriptions for pain and depression.

It is generally prescribed for people taking chemotherapy to help with pain and nausea. Medicinal grade is nothing like the street drug. SO don't get your hopes up. ;)
