Card for weed

I live in Vermont, last I heard we had legalized it here (obviously not with Federal Laws)..my questions are 1) can I get a card or whatever it is they give to you to be on the Marijuana Registry Program for Chronic Pain? (I've also been diagnosed with Fibromyalga, Massive Nerve Damage, partial Scoliosis, and Degenerative Disk Disease) 2)Does anyone know of a good doctor that has no problems with this in the Burlington, Vermont area?? 3) what do I have to do to get on the registry if I do get a good doctor? (I've already d/l the form for the registry itself but is it the latest one? )...do I just bring it in to a doctor that I've seen for at least 6 months or can it be a shorter period?? 4) anyone know of a link to the newest Registry for Marijuana?

 

Thank you for the information Betamax Bandit........trying very hard to find someone (a Doctor specifically) to do this. Very hard finding one even though they all concur with surgeon regarding Fibromalga, Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatica and massive Nerve Damage, along with chronic pain all the time. The Doctor I asked on Monday said he's "never heard of it but would see me next month and discuss it then after I poke around for information on it." Acted like he didn't know what I was talking about at all. So if anyone knows of a doctor around the Burlington, Vermont area please let me know!!

 

Thanks tharedhead....I have checked all of that information out, even got a print out for the form for Dr to sign as well as paperwork for me to fill out & sign from an RN that I just saw, now hopefully, my PCP will sign it! Keep fingers crossed! Picked up some awesome seeds that are called Medijuana that supposedly work with people in chronic pain (among other conditions). THC is really high......like I said....keeping fingers crossed!! But if it doesn't happen (my Doc doesn't sign it) still same ?...anyone know of a good doc?!

 

Don't know Betamax Bandit...do you have any doctors records that state you have all this and are in constant pain and they've tried everything with conventional methods that STILL aren't working to control the pain?? You'd also have to have doc sign it & state what your exact medical condition is and that you are in severe pain all the time. That I do know from my paperwork that I'm hoping MY doctor will sign. One question and I'm not being rude....what is Auditory Processing Disorder?? Never heard of that.

 

yeah, I found nothing on Mass either except "Massachusetts, meanwhile, voted to decriminalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. It is the 12th state to reduce potential punishments for small amounts of the drug. The measure, Proposal 1, will remove state-level penalties for registered patients using marijuana. However, unlike in California, there will be no legal dispensaries for medical marijuana. I
In Massachusetts, the passage of Question 2, “not only authorizes the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, but also establishes a parallel civil regulatory structure that does not currently exist,” Attorney General Martha Coakley told the Associated Press. However, possession of marijuana is still considered a crime.
Those caught with anywhere up to an ounce of marijuana will have it confiscated and be fined $100. Anyone under 18 will face a stiffer fine, up to $1,000, unless they complete a drug awareness program. In addition, all pending possession charges will be dropped. Before Question 2, possession was punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine. n addition, under federal law, possession of marijuana for any purpose is still illegal. Marijuana may not be legalized any time soon. In fact, it may be years before other states adopt measures allowing for medical marijuana, or decriminalizing small amounts of the drug. However, with voters in two states voting for such measures this election cycle, it may be within our lifetimes. "

Found this on Legalize it? Michigan and Massachusetts say yes - Collegenews. aricle written at end of 2008.

All other info found on Mass is pretty much the same so far on it. You may be able to get a Doc in Vermont to sign for you as long as you've seen them for over 6 months and they are or become aware that that is what you're seeking instead of taking narcotics that slowly kill you (and most of what I've taken either doesn't work, makes me sicker than heck so I have to take a nausea pill also--ironically. I take more medication than my 89 year old grandmother and her health isn't that great! I'd rather smoke--all the time man!!

 

wow, sounds literally awful. Especially combined with all the other conditions you stated you had. And people wonder why people who are in constant pain are "depressed"?! Gee, I wonder. I have a 2nd nerve test scheduled for today (where they take electrodes & attach them to you through a computer and other equipment then poke everywhere with very long, very sharp needles...especially the areas that hurt the most. I will never have this done again, don't know why I have to have it done twice to begin with as the neurosurgeon has copies of 1st neuro's reports from 1st ENG!) I'm definitely smokng as much as I can before I go......last time I was down for the count and literally unable to get out of bed at all (with assistance just to the bathroom, nowhere else) for 3 weeks. Not looking forward to this.

Do you have children? If so, they can create tons of noise!! How do you cope?? Again, I'm not trying to be nosy, just curious. I always thought it was either one or the other--you either had ADD or ADHD. I didn't realize that they are separate and different (diseases, is that how they're classified??). I too have insonia that no doc has been able to treat for at least 23 years. Gets very old. But if given the choice (that I don't have) between chronic back pain, fibromyalga, degenerative disc disease, nerve damage, sciatica, etc...I'll take the insomnia over these any day!!
