Can Marijuana Be Prescribed Medically For Anxiety And Depression?

Is it possible to get prescribed medical marijuana in the state of CA for anxiety and depression? I am already prescribed anxiety and anti depressants but I just don t feel this is the safest thing to be doing to my body at 18. How do I go about this without getting denied? I ve been fighting this depression for long enough and would like to just walk into a doctor s office without him or her wasting my time and money.
