First you check to see if from or before 2010 or after you have a medical reason that is allowed to receive the card or you waste $150 or $75 if you have snap. If you qualify, then go find a doc then get the two forms you need fill-out the mmj application and pay another $150 or $75 dollars. now if you don't qualify and you pay for the doctor visit, and application and don't qualify, you r out of either $300, or $150 dollars, if you do qualify, you have to find a place who sales MMJ, my experiences haven't been to good with finding actual mmj, but something that now has no smell and has a carbon lie co2 to remove that smell is like smoking a cigarette if you think about it.
