I would totally disagree... Most of my fellow MMAR exemptees simply want the right to use a medicine that makes them feel better, and not be systematically poisioned by big pharma. The fact is that applying for a license as a patient does not give you authority to sell anything, not even seeds, you actually are not even legally allowed to give it away for free, everything over your storage amount has to be destroyed, not that anyone actually complies with this...
Even having a Designated Grower license only gives you authorization to grow for that perticular exemptee, it doesn't give you auth to set up shop and legally sell weed, it allows you to grow for a sick person that can not grow for themselves, it is about the patient and not the DG, because if the patient is unhappy with the DG they can have their license terminated (unless the DG has another patient, HC only allows 2 per DG).
Getting the license is not hard ONCE your MD is on board, but unforuntely a few years ago the college of physicians recommended MDs not to sign the documents in fear that the MDs were not legally protected if a client had a bad reaction. Not to mention that most MDs are spoon fed by big pharma even before they leave med school to believe what Phizer says is the gods honest truth.
What type of medical ailments do you have? You need to bring your MD or any specialist your seeing specific information showing how cannabis can help your situation. Your MDs and specialists have to be on your side though because they are the ones that have to explain your situation on the application and have to sign stating that they believe Cannabis can help your condition, which is the kicker for most, as they have always been told the opposite their entire medical career. It shouldn't be like this but it is basically up to you to educate your MDs, you need more then words though, you will need to find studies backing up what your saying, visit the marijuana policy party's website they have soon good info and links, it is geared toward Americans, but info is info...
Lastly, if you have MS (as I do), Cancer, HIV/AIDS or a severe form of Arthritis, it doesn't totally matter if the MD agrees, as long as they sign, but if not then it is time to go to work.
Good Luck

Its a shame that most people want the license so they can sell weed.
I don't mean any of you, but in general.
