It largely depends on where you live, countries/states have different laws. In Canada for example there are two categories, the first lists conditions (including “spinal cord disease” which could include scoliosis (I assume that is what you meant) and “severe forms of arthritis”) and the second is intended to be more open and basically only requires that the drug be used for “debilitating symptoms” and confirmed with specialist physician.

Medications have official medical uses and off-label uses. About 1/2 of all North American prescriptions are “off-label” meaning the medication is being prescribed for a condition it is not officially approved for. Almost all medications have multiple uses and not every appropriate use is listed- for example a dermatologist might prescribe an antidepressant like doxepin or an antipsychotic like chlorpromazine for an allergic reaction because both drugs are antihistamines and may be perfectly appropriate even though they are not actually approved.

Most countries/states have left things more/less open so that a doctor could prescribe it for more than the few conditions it is accepted for. Actually evidence really only indicates that marijuana is effective for a few things primary some forms of severe pain (in addition to opioids) especially neuropathic pain and pain due to multiple sclerosis, cachexia (common in late-stage AIDS patients and cancer patients), and severe refractory nausea from chemotherapy. Most other indications for its use have little science and are thus typically not considered legitimate indications by most doctors.

For example there is little evidence marijuana is at all useful in treating depression. Using marijuana to treat any mental illness is not well accepted, more study is required.

You would need to talk to your doctor and see what he says. Also if marijuana is not legal where you are then you can’t get it at all.

Canadian law:

Severe pain, cachexia, anorexia, weight loss, and/or severe nausea from HIV/AIDS infection;
Severe pain from severe forms of arthritis; or

Applicants must provide a declaration from a medical practitioner to support their application.

Category 2: This category is for applicants who have debilitating symptom (s) of medical condition (s), other than those described in Category 1. Under Category 2, persons with debilitating symptoms can apply to obtain an Authorization to Possess dried marihuana for medical purposes, if a specialist confirms the diagnosis and that conventional treatments have failed or judged inappropriate to relieve symptoms of the medical condition. While an assessment of the applicant’s case by a specialist is required, the treating physician, whether or not a specialist, can sign the medical declaration.
