Medical card Q

[SwirlyMcToke]

So i am going to be graduating from college at the end of this school year, and i am seriously considering moving out west, probably to cali. The thing i'm trying to figure out is if i'll be able to get a med. card for...i broke my arm a few years back real bad, and i have 2 plates and 12 pins that are permanently left in. Would this be reason enough for the doc to throw me a card?

Basically you can claim any number of ailments to get a card, you just need to find the right doctor, slip him a $100 and you are all set.

It's not that easy to get one, speak only of which you know my brotha.
You could get some medicine legally in CA to answer your question.

Medicinal marijuana can generally be prescribed for chronic pain. However, most legitimate doctors would try to give you something more conventional, such as opioids, before they even considered prescribing marijuana.

The key to getting a card is to find a doctor who views marijuana favorably. There are organizations out there that can point you in the right direction.

Well, anywhere you can find a crooked doctor that will take cash for a med card. Around 300 up front. + you pay for the card. My friend knew a guy who was related to a physician so he could get this same deal. I didn't go through with it though seemed too sketchy. Try to avoid this way.

I believe you could do it the legal way though, if you're still having pain, and your records are documented it should be easy. You can either get a recommendation from your doctor, or take all your medical history about the accident. Make an appointment with something like C3 out in Cali. They will evaluate your history and determine wheather or not you should get a med card.

if you want to do this the right way. there are lots and lots of doctors you can find online that do just that, perscribe MJ. They are not some crooked mofo's handing out cards left to right. The best way to get a card is to tell one of these docs that the medications you are currently taking are not helping you with what ever problem it is you have and your body doesn't cope well with the effects these pills are giving you. You are pretty much telling the doctor you want the natural shit like marijuana. the fee to get one of those cards is any where from $150 - $250 depends on where in Cali. Google some shit like "california medical marijuana help" or "california medical marijuana program"

Every year you have to renew your card as well. My chances of getting a card were ruined because when I was younger I had depression, but my dad didn't want them giving me a bunch of pills.

There's also a list of doctors who prescribe it. I suggest moving to the Bay area, or Orange County. They have the best medical.

slip a doctor a hundred dollar bill to get medicinal marijuana? are you just looking for an up tight doctor to call the police on your ass

Im sad to say it but you dont need to have anything wrong with you to get a card. There are so many half ass pseudo doctors writing reccomendations now. They will diagnose you and write the recomendation with no supporting medical records. You say you have migraines and they say yeah you sure do and write out the paperwork right there. Its such a sham. A medicann doctor openly admitted on channel 2 news that he has never denied a single patient whether they had medical records or not. People like this are really setting the movement back a decade.

Having pins is not a good enough reason to get a card. Having pins that cause you chronic pain is. I assume thats what you are implying is wrong with you.

And, you dont go to your local health insurance provider for marijuana. You go to a doctor who does nothing but deal with marijuana treatable conditions. 99% of normal docs wont touch this issue with a 10 foot pole so you have to see a specialist.

If you truly think that something is wrong with you then check out potdoc.com. Dr. Ellis will deny you in a heart beat if he thinks you are faking. Hes been around for a long time and is a former emergency room doctor. If you are trying to fake your way into the system then my advice is 1) dont do it 2) if you do it go to one of the less reputable doctors i.e. that guy from medicann that hes never denied anyone.

Even MJ docs dont "prescribe MJ",they recommend only and prices will start at $90 in OC and go up depending on where you live.

Some VERY good advice here,i have medicann and your right about them giving this movement a bad name indeed,i wish they would stop or i will go elsewhere upon my renewal.

At the moment here in Cali. anyways,our medical MJ law is very clear which states you must have a valid MMC and follow the set rules to buy and or grow your own MJ. What part do you need more help understanding?
