Probably, the US law is different than local state laws. that's the reason why in some states (e.g. Californa) there is a huge amount of compassion centers and caregivers for medical marijuana. The only way to get marijuana legal is to get a Member Card and prescription from a doctor to use medical marijuana. Also buying marijuana illegal is not that difficult if you know the spots. many states trying to change their law restrictions right now to make medical marijuana available for patients (and consumers as well).
