How Hard Was It To Get Your Card?

so i looked at the demographics and over 80% were approved, but almost 27% of that were people over the age of 51.

i'm 20 and i have my card in colorado but am an arizona resident.
i'm looking to switch it over, how was your card to get?

in colorado i went in and said "i lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks and smoking makes me eat".

and the doc gave it to me for severe nausea. The longest line i waited in was at the DMV to get a colorado license haha.

any advice/tips?

well i can it was extremely easy for me especially if you got serious medical condition

Unless you find a Doc that is not following the rules, that will not get you a card. I have a friend that has serious pain issues and had to go back twice with more medical history because they rejected him the first time.

If you have chronic pain, it easy to get your card.
If your Dr. isn't working-out for you, try another.

if i don't get approved do i have to pay the 150 dollar fee?

or is it only if i get approved

if its only once i get approved, i would have no problem going doctor shopping.

it all depends on where you live if you live in a yeehaw state lol its alot harder to obtain one

i believe i saw in new times an add that said if you don't qualify you do not have to pay the fee. The qualification process is time consuming but easy. You need to establish a qualifying medical condition within your medical records to qualify. You just need to jump through the hoops they have set up; they are just a little higher than other states have set.

well you do have to pay just for entering the place and talking to doctor and if you get denied you don't get your money back

Then you are going to a shit place. There are many places that only charge if the doctor writes you a recommendation. So please shop around and don't treat every medical marijuana doctor the same.

i go to a very legit place every doctor i have seen you have to pay up be 4 you see the doctors that's all its really all about the money $$$$ and i have a great reason for obtaining a medical marijuana card never get denied

This is not the same in terms of "legit" for a doctor recommendation vs a doctor you see in a hospital. The reason medical marijuana 'doctors' pop up is because most doctors who have dedicated their lives to medicine are afraid to compromise their license while it is still federally illegal. So the medical marijuana 'doctors' have a reason to exist. In the state of Arizona they don't have to be an M.D. they can just be a N.D homeopathic doctors and the like. The reason it isn't a good idea to pay up front from these types of doctors is because while it is still their discretion to write a prescription, one could write one for every person that comes through and collect. It becomes the approval rate that determines repeat customers. The places I go to, know of, and people I talk to who run and operate them are so confident in their ability to determine qualification that they not only will only charge if they deem a 'recommendation' is a viable option but they boast 100% approval rate among their patients.

So these "legit" places you go that's all about the $$$ can eat me. There are more legit places that not only care about ethical business practices but their customers as well. Like any business, money is needed to run and they have a business mind but still implore ethical guidelines that outshine the competitors that just care about bringing in patients to charge up the wazoo.

So all your emoticons, make absolutely no sense. ^_^

i heard they have a physician on site at the new hydroponics depot..atleast i think thats the place haha i read about it in the new times. ive been thinking about trying to get my card to because of my chronic and severe migraines. i was told thats a reasonable "condition" to apply for it and ive had more than 3 years of history with them and ive been put on 3 different medications that never worked but when it comes to marijuana it helps out A LOT

I have migraines but have not gotten a personal card. I get them once or twice a week but in terms of chronic or severe in a medical sense it should not apply. It really is up to the person not only writing the recommendation but the person at the AZDHS who is going over the applications to approve it. Most of the people who get denied fall under "chronic and severe" and it is a condition not suitable according to the person processing the application.

I'll message you ^_^

... hm for some reason it won't let me. Look into CSA Advocates. They are good people ^_^

If you need a caregiver message me, if not they'll take good care of you.

what does a caregiver do? is it just someone who helps out a patient who cant really do much for themselves physically?? like go get their medicine for example

Yes, a caregiver can get it for them, help connect patients with other patients for medication, also grow the product for them since it requires a lot of knowledge, experience, and including the start up costs can make it a more viable option for most patients.
