The bulk of doctors recommending it are so called pot docs.

It's interesting you can go to a pot doc and get your script, they will generally have online verification which the dispensaries can access at any time.

If you got your script from an oncologist, the dispensaries have to get a hold of him or his office to verify your script. For that reason alone "pot doctors" are better than real doctors for getting a prescription.

http://www.green215.com/ is an example.
