However a vast number of those "permits" are being sold to recreational users who are pretending to have anxiety or pain. The doctors who sell those permits are now making a killing. Your situation is entirely different though.

I'm a baby boomer (in my early 70's) and I grew up with friends who enjoyed the evil weed, and I've even smoked it myself a few times. Several friends have told me about the video conference with a certain doctor who spends maybe 15 or 20 minutes where they ask about your "anxieties." Then the "patients" pay $250 (or whatever) and get the MM card by mail. These are recreational users and for them, the entire thing is a sham.
