dispensary in the state of California and to
purchase a variety of medical marijuana products.

5. How do I find a doctor to
evaluate me?
Any doctor licensed to practice in California could
evaluate a patient and issue a Medical Marijuana
Card. However, not all doctors are necessarily
comfortable doing this or are informed about the
medical use of marijuana.
If this is the case, then you could visit a doctor that
specializes in Medical Marijuana, such as myself.
