Becoming a patient in maine

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by DoctorDank, Feb 18, 2009.

    I suffer from chronic back pain and migraines but under the Maine medical marijuana laws those are not eligible medical conditions (they are in some states), is there any hope I could still get a card in Maine? The medical conditions that are allowed in Maine are the following;


    1. Persistent nausea, vomiting, wasting syndrome or loss of appetite as a result of:
      1. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or the treatment thereof; or
      2. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy used to treat cancer;
    2. Heightened intraocular pressure as a result of glaucoma;
    3. Seizures associated with a chronic, debilitating disease, such as epilepsy; or
    4. Persistent muscle spasms associated with a chronic, debilitating disease, such as multiple sclerosis
    Thanks for any help guys.

    I think you pretty much answered your own question - you seem to be pretty well versed in Maine law, I'm not sure anyone here would be more knowledgable.

    Not familiar with the laws in your state. Many states do have a clause in their legislation that reads something like, 'or any other condition approved by the State Health Board.'

    Is there such a stipulation in the law? If so, you might be able to appeal to have your condition covered.
