Sooner or later. Depends on when your doctors new stash runs out.

The new law will go into effect on December 4, 2008, and the Specialty of Community Health will have an additional 120 days to issue regulations for a medical marijuana registry.
That doesn’t mean you’ll be able to “get” marijuana at that time. It earnings you’ll be able to apply for a card from the registry that will allocate you to grow up to 12 plants and possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana.
To get the card, you’ll need a annotation from your doctor and to pay a fee, the amount of which has yet to be determined.
If you’re unable to grow for yourself, you can designate one primary caregiver to grow for you and pay that person for the service.
So it’ll be about five months before all this starts to happen, during which time, I’d presume there will have to be some conversation as to how the patients and their caregivers are to obtain the seeds and/or cuttings from which to initiation their plants. The new law is silent on how that bit of necessary commerce is to be conducted.
