I know of one but he's in Boyds. I don't know if that's too far from you. He is a cancer survivor himself.

Also I saw a graph once which outlined the effects on the brain of caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and marijuana. If you imagine the brain as a whole pizza, a brain on pot is missing an entire 1/4. Its a lot scarier than the other options which are just generally slightly scrambled.

Haha. Sounds legit

Didn't like it then, don't like it now. It makes me sleepy. That's it? No thanks.

Look into Takoma Park Alternative Care. She’ll recommend DC and MD residents, amd talk you through using it if you’re a first timer!

In DC there are just a few medical dispensaries and I think that your card is tied to one. It's something that shows up in Google. Seems like a bad idea to cross state lines to get it, doesn't it?

Alcohol is worse for the brain than marijuana is.

In DC you have to choose a specific dispensary. In MD you can go to any MD dispensary. Some doctors can make recommendations to residents of either place. If you live in MD, you should register online with the MMCC first. Then you get an ID# and can see a doc who will recommend medical cannabis. The doc doesn’t provide the goods. Once you’re official, you can show up at a MD dispensary w/ your ID and ID#.

And really, it shouldn’t matter if you bring cannabis between MD and DC. I’d hesitate before going into VA though.

If you do a search about legal marijuana in DC, there are plenty of sites where you can make an appointment to get a medical marijuana card.

I think it helps my mind slow down and focus and really immerse myself in the task at hand. I've gone through phases - I smoked multiple times a week when I was in law school, didn't smoke much throughout my kid-20s, 'rediscovered' it and smoked a few times a month around 30, when I was in the midst of making some career changes...and obviously I don't credit weed with my success, but I truly did use it as a tool/enhancement in a real period of personal hustling, with real success. I haven't touched it / half-forget it exists for 9 years or so because I've been pregnant / raising little kids, but I have no doubt that my use will pick back up again some day (and then drop off again, etc). I really do find that I go through phases with it, and I don't think that's uncommon. Long story sort, enjoy it! As long as you're not smoking daily or using it as a way to escape reality / your life, it can be a great tool. You are not the only person who feels that, used appropriately, it can be a real enhancer of sorts (as opposed to the stereotypical stoner melting into the couch image).

I agree with this. I rarely partake now due to my season of life, but I used it regularly in my younger years and found it enhanced my creativity and productivity. It didn't cause weight gain or laziness at all. It also made music, art, food, and sex AMAZING. When I do have the chance to smoke nowadays, it's like hitting "reset."

What's wrong with daily?

What are the strains that increase creativity? I stole from my kids and it made me hungry, which I do not need!

Generally hybrids with more sativa genetics. In dispensary states you just walk in and say how you want to feel and they advise. I’ve heard there are outfits like this in DC but I haven’t found them yet.
