will prescribe it for you. It's $80 an appt., and you have to see him once a year, even though you only have to get your card every 2 years, another $100. Suggestion for when you get your script: look for CBD strains, if you can find them. I have severe glaucoma in my left eye, moderate in me right. My eye pressures were off the chart, until I vaped a strain called "Tora Bora" before an eye Dr. appt. - I had NORMAL eye pressures!

Also, here in Michigan, once you get your card, you just show it at the dispensary, and you can buy up to 2.5 ounces. Hope this helps a little.
