But, not all of them will qualify you for a Doctor's Recommendation for Medical Marijuana, so you want to follow this link https://www.marijuanadoctors.com/medical-marijuana/indexabove to see what ailments qualify for a MMJ recommendation in your state.


Under California’s medical marijuana law, patients may be recommended marijuana for the following conditions:

§         Anxiety

§         Arthritis

§         Cancer

§         Chemotherapy Side Effects

§         Chronic Pain

§         Fibromyalgia

§         Glaucoma

§         HIV-AIDS

§         Migraine Headaches

§         Multiple Sclerosis

§         Radiation Therapy Side Effects

If you suffer from several of these ailments, but do not have a documented medical record of all ailments it is recommended you choose an ailment that is not usually documented and thus more likely to help you obtain your doctor's recommendation, such as insomnia or nausea.  In addition, be sure to choose an ailment that is both chronic and long term (i.e. insomnia or nausea) to ensure your doctor's recommendation for mmj is made out for the longest period of time (usually 1 year) and to ensure future renewals.
