Not that it's really relevant, but doctor's cannot "prescribe" pot, doing so would jeapordize their medical license as it's not a recognized medicine at the federal level. They can, in certain states like OR, "recommend" it. OTOH, I'm relatively certain OR has laws in place against driving under the influence of pot.

Correction: In OR, the doctor apparently confirms the presence of a qualifying "debilitating condition."
