/THC is so much easier to type than marijuana.

Yes. That too. In other words if your lazy ass husband is having a problem with his medication you can't call the doctor and talk to him about it, lazy ass has to do it himself.
Unfortunately all this stuff is pretty much shutting the barn door after the horse is out and several countries away.
Is this the blurb on the ASA (lol) site you were talking about?

Confidentiality
Your medical information is confidential and protected under HIPPA. The medical marijuana ID cards do not show your name, address, or other sensitive information, though they do have a photo. Police and government agents can verify the legitimacy of the card.

That's just....odd. I mean the concept of the card with the photo being "confidential." The pharmacist doesn't give a shit what you're taking (other than interactions). I guess they're afraid of people breaking into pharmacies or something.
On another note: Someone explain how marijuana helps anorexia. Yes you might get the munchies more, but if you're a full blown anorexic, fighting the super-munchies and winning will give you even more of a feeling of accomplishment, taking you even deeper into the disease.
