this is one org that may be able to help it depends on your state. If your state has the law passed then check it out and see what it says and how you may qualify. I myself just did a search on the internet for oregon medical marijuana and about 2 weeks later I was legal. Granted I had an open qualifying medical case it was faster. but if you have a qualifying condition then you need to get is documented and get a doctor to recommend it for you. I know in oregon you only have to have your chart notes and there are organizations that doctors that will help you with the rest. Some states a nurse can sign for you it just depends on your states laws.
good luck...kevin
most of the info here pertains to Oregon, however, there are other organizations helping the same way.

you don't have to be dying or have cancer. I know in Cali if you have a belly button and are breathing then you qualify... but for most states it is just a matter of getting all of your ducks in a row.
