I don’t really want to post this question here, but I couldn’t find an answer online. Does anyone know if the doctors at UC health centers (particularly UC Davis) prescribe medicinal marijuana?

I have fairly severe nerve pain and neuropathy in my right leg due to some complications from a surgery years ago. I used to be on a ton of pain meds to control it but weaned myself off of them by my own accord because I didn’t want to be so dependent on pills. I still suffer from the pain, and am currently looking for new ways of pain-management (mainly visualization techniques, drawing, etc.). I have smoked pot as a social, relaxing activity, as I’m sure some of you have, but I never really thought about getting a medical marijuana card until someone suggested it.

I know that schools don’t allow students to have weed on campus, obviously, but do the doctors prescribe cards? I could get a card in Sacramento, but I don’t want to spend $75 or however much it costs. I’m a little nervous about asking at school, since well, it is school…
