How hard is it to get medical license

Hi just moved to ri looking for doctor that won't waste my time I suffer from depression bi polar ADHD have sleep insomia have been treating with marry j for 10 year plus and it works find any doctors greatly Appreciated

I'm pretty sure none of those symptoms qualify for a RI med card,sorry.

What would qualify

read
more and then some more

I do have a slipped disk in my back that causes chronic pain guess ill have to go with that have X-rays

Question is it best to say you do smoke and it works fine when you go in for the card ?

I stubbed my toe... Can I have a card now, lol.

That's all it takes in CA

did a search for RI and theres info for your needs, gather what medical records you have , go with the back issue

If you have had or can get an MRI done that shows a herniated disc, then you can make a case for chronic pain. All you have to do is get your medical records, medical images, etc. and take it to a doctor who isn't ideologically opposed to the medicinal use of cannabis. The doctor's OK is the major hurdle you need to clear, unless the medical office itself is in trouble with the State (See: 11th State Consultations, Fall 2012). Then your RI Dept. of Health new patient form signed by you and the doc is mailed in, processed, and a decision will come back to you in the mail. Then you go to the State Offices and get your ID card printed.

You don't have to say anything (that "it works") to persuade anybody at the State to help you out, and they wouldn't anyway.

Canna care docs in Massachusetts are helpful And understanding doctors. They advertise on Craigslist. You need minimal records but you would only qualify with the disc and cronic pain. Your other conditions are do not qualify in RI. Look up RIPAC they have a lot of information and links to the laws.

It's best to be honest w/ your doctor. General rule is "If it does more good than harm, it's okay." Also if you say you've been smoking regularly with positive results (say vaporizing if you don't smoke cigs) the simple desire not to be prosecuted is often enough for a doctor to sign your sheet. Just don't bullshit them; they're smarter than you; unless you've also got a PhD. GL

Canna Care Docs in Seekonk MA will help you out.

Did canna care move? They were in Boston before when I went..

5 locations now. Canna care must be doing well

I guess so WOW! They are very nice people there... At least they were when I went. Hopefully they are in business for a long time so when I need my renewal I can go back.

Basically that's what I want to happen. I just got mine. So I hope I can renew mine there too

I went the 1st day it opened up in boston lol... it was kinda sketchy and doctor was nervous you could tell. They are making some serious money im sure with all those locations. Hes doing a good thing IMO. I also think however that when RI DOH sees the app. From them they take longer on paperwork. Just seems that way. 11th state and b and b were really quick turn around times for paperwork at DOH

Yea it was kinda sketchy when I went last April also... The people working there was really nice though! I'm sure the DOH is paying close attention to them by now. My paperwork went through relatively fast though ( about a week after I sent it ). I tried to book an appt with b&b prior to canna care but they took over a month to get back to me and could tell they were more strict. Canna seems to be the ones who are writing a majority of recommendations for RI patients I hope it doesn't cause them problems. Unfortunately I was laid off prior to getting my license so I've been unable to afford meds like I would have previous. It's frustrating!
