california: I currently live in Virginia which is sadly going to be one of the last states to legalize Medicinal marijuana, and i suffer from chronic pains and stomach problems that cause me not to eat..Marijuana cures all of my ailments and i plan to move to California in the next 5 years, but i need to know the smaller details, how long will it take to get legal treatment after i have moved to California.|||As long as you have a California ID and an orginal doctor's recommendation, you can walk into just about any dispensary in Calif and purchase marijuana--it might be a little tougher though because most are closing. However many are switching to delivery service. In most dispensaries you don't even need to wait for your new license. You can just show the DMV printout which you can get the day you enter Calif. To my knowledge most doctor's offices don't require proof of residency.|||You can't just move to California to smoke pot.
