    Never asked
    I don't think George was ever asked that question. It is legal here in Michigan now for cancer patients to have mary jane. I asked George if he wanted me to apply for the permit to legally have it and he just laughed. You can also legally have 12 plants. Not exactly sure how the growing thing works. Right now the back up in the capitol is 8 weeks so I guess lots of people are getting the permit. Tina

    I've been asked on the first
    I've been asked on the first paperwork I filled out with my doctors;
    "do I use recreational drugs ?" along with do I smoke? do I drink?-since the last time I did was about 30 years
    ago I felt justified in answering 'NO'

    I got my card!!
    I got my card when I was doing Radiation, Here in California it's leagal for Cancer patients. It sure helped me on the days I was so sick I could not eat and I take a puff or two everynight to help with sleep. It works great for being sick and relaxing you so you can sleep and TAKE LESS MEDS!!!

    I'd rather have MJ them more meds
