Medical Cannabis Card & HQL
There’s no way to know, of course, but with as easy as it is to get a medical card, I’m betting the majority of “medical” users are not actually using it under any sort of medical supervision. They are self diagnosing and self medicating. So IMO “medical” use is mostly (not entirely, but mostly) a farce. But the revenue is very real. As are the votes.

I did AC repair at a dispensary, the clientele wasn't what you describe. Others who have casually observed door traffic concur; the typical user is a middle aged woman with a significant chronic condition.
Yep, stays home with 3 kids and a husband who works 12 hours a day.
Yeah. I'm a senior now, when I was middle aged there wasn't a woman I dated that didn't have some sort of chronic problem that required some kind of upper, downer, or pain killer.
Add in the wine and it's a real horror show.
And they all wondered why I wouldn't marry.

I've seen from pretty horrible driving as I sit an intersection way up here in Harford County and watch people leave an opioid treatment office in the early AM. I guess they're getting their "free" medicine that feels like opioids but without addiction (?)
I imagine these people are high as shit and getting behind the wheel. Literally seen several cars almost cause head on collisions by probably a few feet.
I watched one guy pull out, doze off, wake up and just floor it out into traffic. All while I sat in the matter of about 2 and a half minutes at this intersection.
Nobody said it had to make sense.

Man, you don’t even have to be there as they get out. Just walk down the street in the city, or drive a motorcycle around the area, and you’ll be lucky if you DON’T get a second hand high from the cars that pass by.

Not disagreeing with what you’ve seen. But I have first hand knowledge of people that self prescribe and self medicate. No medical professional involved. You do know you can get a card for “anxiety”, too, right? Not discounting anyone that suffers from true anxiety. But here too, self diagnosis and self treatment. You just need to answer the questions to get the result you want.

My mee-maw believed in rubbing bourbon or rum or moonshine on baby gums for teething
Ukrainian friends used vodka for this.

So what will the state police do if/when the MGA passes the annual bill to make marijuana no longer a prohibiting condition?
Not-disapprove sales, since it's state law, or disapprove sales, since marijuana is still prohibiting per the 4473?
If the former, the ATF booting them as the NICS contact point for handgun sales could be hilarious.

MSP cannot approve unless the NICS check they run comes back approved. And since the purchaser also has to fill out a 4473 in addition to the electronic 77R, they would still fail, based on the questions on the 4473.
State law has nothing to do with it. It’s illegal at the Federal level, period. The State of MD has already made it legal in small amounts or in a “medical dispensary” which is really just a BS term to get around legality. You don’t need a doctor’s note to get a MM card. It will continue to be a prohibiting conditional in EVERY state until federal law is changed.

Correct me if I'm wrong , but you do need a Dr note for MM card . That's why there are all the roadside signs advertising for ( presumably ) telephone consultations to get one .

Not exactly. You need an approved medical provider, one who is registered with the Medical Marijuana Commission, to sign off on your application. There is a list of approved approvers on the state website.
A "doctor's note" is useless unless the doctor is on that list.
https://mmcc.maryland.gov/Pages/Registered-Providers-List.aspx
Very few doctors seem to be on that list. I believe insurance, or the rules of their various practices forbid it. As I recall, most of the medical personnel approved to approve your application are nurses of some variety, Nurse Practitioner of some sort.
I think the fee for approval from one of these nurses is around $200.
The way it works: you go to one of these people, tell them something is bothering you, and pay them the $200 or so. Then they sign off on your weed approval, and you can get your card.
My sense of it is, most of these people do nothing but approve applications. That is their entire practice. Perhaps I'm wrong about that.
It looks to me like getting on the state list of registered application approvers is a ticket for the Gravy Train. I wonder how you get on that list? I would expect it's a combination of knowing someone and paying someone.
By the way, I still refuse to post in this stupid thread.

Opps , I was too literal with " Dr " implying a generic MD .
I was intending to make the point that an " Approved Medical Provider " was already involved in the MMJ process .
********************************
Well what the MGW * Could * do would be to double down , eliminate the Wink - Wink , Knod, Knod posturing , and just make Weed flat out Legal for anyone over 21 , and MM Cards would be unneeded . No Card , no loss of Rights for having a Card .
