thanks! got an appointment with them next monday. you think bringing a prescription bottle of pain meds would be good enough? wreck my car 8 months ago had 5 broken bones in my leg. also what kind of questions do they ask during the evaluation?
Getting a Card is too easy for ANYONE!!!!!!
- Thread starter phreakygoat
- Start date
well had to reschedule cause of my recent probation but my girl and brother got their card. went in today at 11, show the dr my pain med bottle, did a check up and chatted for 15 min about mmj use and i got it!!! stop by south bay canna clinic afterward picked up an 8th of diablo og, herojuana, blueberry, purple buddha 4gs each!! and some chocolate cake wanted more but only had 300$ on me. the diablo og is kicking my ass right now, havent tried the rest but im sure but by the look and smell of them it'll do the same. gonna start an outdoor and indoor grow after we're done unpacking and decorating the house. With 3 cards we can have up to 18 mature plants right?
I have a question about Medicann.
how likely will I get a MMC at Medicann if I say I have insomnia and anxiety from being a grad student if neither condition shows up in my medical records? I can't go back to the doctor because I don't have insurance so there's no chance I can get paperwork that says I have insomnia but I'm hoping my word is enough. What do you all think?
I heard Medicann really wants to give it to you and doesn't care whether or not you actually need it.

Just be sure to see a "regular" doc about the acid reflux ASAP, in case it's a symptom of an ulcer or something equally nasty. Mine turned out to be GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), but thankfully no ulcers. I've never paid attention to MJ's effects on GERD, but I will now. Helps me with so much more than I could list here, so why not this too, eh?
gerd+ibs+ulcers = my hell
cheers guys

To date, I've lucked out and had no ulcers. But the GERD + IBS is hell in itself.

Yeah it wouldnt be so damn bad but they put me on prozac and it makes my hands shake uncontrolably and then they try to tell me i need physical therapy for my legs...Sure enough, It makes me knees worse. Not to mention they did a CT on my ribs to try and figure out what was on my lung and it made that worse too.

I will never take another antidepressant, nor any other psychotropic medication, again, aside from the occasional Klonopin (because that one actually helps my mania, paranoia, and anxiety without giving me side effects). The symptoms are easier to live with than side effects. I've known people that only function when taking the meds, and I'm glad they are able to get that help. But IMNSHO the first approach to helping mental health should be therapy focused on coping skills, the second approach being medications with the least amount of side effects (and cannabis should definitely be one of the first meds to try), with the last resort being pumping people full of psychotropic cocktails that are the latest fad (which means the least amount of years given to research and therefore knowledge of long term effects).
I've known people who've had amazing help from physical therapy, and others who've endured more damage. Luckily for me
my insurance won't pay for the PT that helps me without increasing my pain, which is water therapy and exercise. So we're working on finding a way to budget for this on our own.
Too bad I can't "grow" my own swimming pool, like I can my other therapy.

Hey guys! 1st time posting, new to this forum but not others.
I want to go to the chiropractor/urgent care claiming back pain from work (construction). I don't have insurance, so I'm going to have to pay for both visits. Once the visit with the chiropractor/urgent care is over, can I obtain the medical records then and there? This 1 time visit about dull continuous pain should be enough to get qualified right?
I going to the same place that my buddy went too for his mmj card yesterday. He paid $275 and got everything he needed within an hour.
"$75 = Same Day Certification | State Filing Fee = $150 + $50 if we file for you"

Alright this thread is sweet def needed it haha but this is probably an easy answer but ive never gone to the doc for papers. like if you go to a regular doctor and say you have RSI and they do the test and he agrees you have it do you just ask him/her to write up a form diagnosing you or do they automatically do that im just a little confused because wouldnt they also try to get you on som meds or something or should one tell them one is going to be applying for a card? thanks for the awesome info and any help is welcome
