different ideas about mmj

I'm blessed and grateful to have my health...so it makes sense I don’t get a medical marijuana/cannabis card in Illinois.

I don’t get a card, not for any moral-specific reason but for me it's because I don’t want to be on a list, have my name linked up with sickness when I’m not, etc. It's a kinda peculiar self-defeating stance when i have my share of pain, anxiety, headaches, etc at times...i could declare a reason... yet I don’t always get my cannabis products from the store anyway. I think other people are ‘in the same boat’ tho if not for my reason some don’t wanna forfeit gun rights in illinois (not the point of the discussion tho, kinda a red herring) or maybe some other thing about having-to-be-official about it, or feeling weird about being onthe state subscription loyalty plan over time to keep the state-allowed discount.

The point is, **why isn’t ‘medical cannabis’ actually specific from the grow stage**...,and ‘cannabis’ with no prefix or suffix, is totally inclusive just there’s no discount?! *There's possibility I think for making the stores make more sense.*

Of course higher CBD is medicinal, but thc is also medicinal/spiritual, for mental/spiritual training-coherence etc. So it's not anything chemically-specific that makes it medical but we decide, and i think thats important from the start. I'm sure the best 'medicinal' strains are grown with such intention.

I’m just thinking it makes sense. There's a loophole in the system which is the 'song and dance' i feel, or matt besser points out in his amazon prime comedy special im watchin. 10/10 recommend. lollll like why the word dispensary, to give the pharmacy-vibe etc.

*The way it’s separated currently has to do with people, overemphasizing identity. isn't really authentically about the cannabis.* People have to state their reason, *again*, for getting cannabis to get medical, when their condition already qualifies them…on the natch, in my eye. That's redundant, a card when there's already a prescription precedent being overlayed.

The hoop jumping with the specific list of conditions, though seemingly extremely minor Is a money diversion….and the setup comes with assumptions and doesn’t turn out accurate/harmonious or I wouldn’t be thinking about it. Doctors prescribe medications off-label very often nowadays so treating cannabis different is putting another roundabout in the middle, making it only for certain conditions, and not actually to professional doctors' discretion who actually know a person. Even the mmj 10minute doctors do their best in that job often, are capable as whole-doctors. That’s how my high noggin shapes it. Put a pharmacy in cannabis/pot/plant shops, but nature's open, free or free to sell all boutique-y and branded, orangey.

**It’s kind of subtle.**

**If cannabis is grown for a medical purpose (from the beginning) that’s a stone-written business decision made with focus for a target demo, focusing on specific issues or generalized medicine, and the specificity/breadth could be amazing, leading to better research.**

Maybe that's the plan, this 'song and dance' being a stepping stone of careful posturing, however talking's not illegal.

We know all cannabis is food, life, medicine, but why is this only decided on the backend? I think that's why it's so convoluted partly, or largely, it's upside-down..

**So being honest, medical from the root of supply, the focus at the root intention carries through the process and system/reason-for-the-system, supply and demand can be well managed, everyone’s at least on the same intention that medical is what's decided to be medical, low or high whatever but created from seed/clones/genetics for people in need specifically. And they get their medicine as-medicine as deemed by their doctor, healer, whyever…**and onus on the doctors to be ethical and accurate about that and not let people abuse a medically-crucial supply (which does have overdraft protection from the general side but usually doesnt dip in to keep prices separate).

**I don't think there'd be an issue with everyone getting prescriptions** because it'd compete-with the pharmaceutical world in each doctor's mind, not always be the go-to just because someone comes looking for a mj-prescription specifically.

**And by this notion** ***(separating medical out from the beginning as a supply chain)*** **pot is not 'medicalized' or pharmaceutical-ized as it is now, the delineation is clear, the reason for subsidy and special treatment is airtight, cannabis is freed, seen as what it is,** *hermaphroditic in the non sex/gender sense of usefulness in passive/active leanings. aka mary j be fineeeee. Right now we have not given cannabis an authentic freedom matching its vibe, in my view, not yet.*

**Then those medically-grown plants are discounted for prescription and actually dealt-by pharmacy (in the mj shop pharmacy/dispensary-corner or cvs lol), just prescription meaning piece-of-paper-from-doctor, with ways to reference said person is yo docta.** The medical is then more official and not a subtle slide-in. And we're not all going to 'dispensaries', this very weird kinda foodstamp-handing-out, pharma-sounding, blah word.

And people are only on the hook for as long as their doctor deems that prescription lasts. not some state generalization making people re up their amazon-prime subscription every year or two but doctor's appointment being enough for as long as anything else that qualifies as a chronic-disease-benefiting medicine.

Supply would be less volatile though running it in my head from a lot of angles it loooks like that would pinch supply for people in need. It’s rooted at the beginning tho so it works

I think more dignified if people don’t have to double-identify with their illness too, not that it’s a bad thing. They’re already given an indication by a doctor but no one says that makes you anything, a medical marijuana patient, a ‘ptsd person’ etc, ‘adhd kid’ etc the doctor just gives you a permission slip for a discount on a non-pharmaceutically-controlled substance. In medicine it also deserves to be better-communicated that this very structure is to keep diseases from seeming permanent, to dissuade people from ‘working-around’ their conditions using medication, or just softening chronic conditions (sometimes all you can do I know), but actually healing the condition, allowing some change at least by no concrete ID being linked. Nobody ‘has’ an adhd, or cancer, that is inaccurate use of language. So I say all that because it backs up the call to not make people get another if card to get something by ‘prescription’. It’s a shim in the door for a box-ing kind of square thinking generally, making exoteric, vulgar-ish non-spiritual ‘identity’ more-pronounced. Less is more with explicit identity, but obv honoring one’s essence being expressive, heritage, celebrate profession, race, all that :)

Ideas, discussion, no suggestion/force.

There’s better to come for sure, and i’m enjoying as is :P i don't personally care about the money just pushin onward

..and obv we’re still putting a green plant in odd alien containers and mailing em around selling em in stores behind closed doors and being funny humans still so it’s all a fun crapshoot :P merry holidaze
