Should I respond to a medical marijuana ad from the backpage of the Seattle Weekly?
Every week I see ads like "Marijuana patient services" or "Medical marijuana" on the backpage of Seattle Weekly. These are presumably there to assist people in getting a prescription (?) for medical marijuana. I just recently moved to Seattle. What is the deal with medical marijuana and these ads here?
I'm somewhat afraid of getting myself onto some sort of watchlist...

The current legal situation is less than pleasant. SCOTUS decided that the Federal government can make and enforce laws against distribution of medical marijuana, so you might be leaving yourself open for a Federal indictment at some future date, since there would be a paper trail.

Finding weed in this town is easier than picking up the phone to call and inquire about some likely weak medical marijuana.
Uhm, not that I'd know.

Actually, xmutex, it's been a huge pain in the ass the last couple months. Not that I'd know firsthand, of course.

Just ask the white kid with the dreadlocks where you can find the dank.

It's all about the hookups, runehog. ;)

Xmutex— The medical grade marijuana is anything but weak. Ahem.

I love the "...so I've heard threads."
At least that's what we say back east.

If you want to use medical marijuana because you have a legit medical need, I think you are better off asking around for a doctor. I can see all sorts of possible downsides to responding to an ad in the weekly, but not as many to a well-respected doctor.
