assistant: I need some info...
I have a recommendation from my doctor for the use of Medical Marijuana.
And I would like to check out one of those "grower/buyer" clubs that the
media seems to talk an awful lot about.  But I know not where to go...
Please e-mail me if you have any ideas, numbers, comments or other info.
Thank-you.
