“Patients don’t want to be high. We just want to treat our symptoms,” Patrick McClellan, who currently buys marijuana illegally and vaporizes it to treat his muscular dystrophy, told the Star Tribune. Patients have also worried that by signing up for the medical marijuana program, they could be putting themselves at risk of falling into the grasp of police. Medical marijuana participants are reportedly at risk of being put in jail for 90 days or fined $1,000 if they make “false statements” about having the drug in plant form. “If I were to get into this program, and I get the oil and it’s way too powerful and then I decide to go back to leaf, I could be prosecuted,” McClellan said, adding that getting “stoned out of my mind” is not on his to-do list.
