2) Find a physician licensed to practice medicine in the field of cannabis. They are the ones you need to make the actual appointment with and go in and see. Use Google to help find a physician around your area. I live in California, and there are seriously a limitless number of physicians around.
3) Once you do that, call and make the appointment. Now, keep in mind that they will charge you for the application, anywhere from $50-$100+. (Usually, the assistants answer the phone, it's simple to make an appointment.)
4) Next, you need the evidence of your medical condition. Mine was "insomnia," so I really didn't have any medical documentations. It's not absolutely required, but it will help your chances. I took nothing with me to my appointment, I simply told the physician that I had sleeping problems and that I took OTC meds, which didn't help. Then I told her I tried cannabis, and that I had no side effects and that it worked like a charm.
5) Usually, they run a couple of simple tests on you such as checking for blood pressure, heart/breathing rate and your lungs. Once that is done, if everything went kosher, you should be a medical marijuana patient.
-If it all goes well, you should get a Recommendation paper/card similiar to these:
*Now, these steps were mostly based off of my personal experience, but I do believe that it's relatively similar to obtain one in other states as well.*
You can seriously benefit from having a MMJ license if your a smoker:
-You get the best quality of weed-There are a countless number of medical marijuana clinics.
-Clinics accept Credit Cards.
-If your dealer hooks you short, theres not much you can do. However, if a clinic tries to give you the short end, you can easily complain, and most of the time, they will hook you up more.
-Much more convenient, and much less risky than getting it from a "drug dealer".
-You know what you get, the selection is incredible.
-No legal troubles with the police for possessing marijuana.
-They sell nug, edibles, hash, oils, and even drinks at clinics. [All with weed in them]
