    i live in mass and havent been to a doctor since i was 15. i have always just self medicated since i was 13. i have alot of issues that i have never got checked out because i hate doctor offices and hospitals. i have asthma i just never took care of it. my jaw pops everytime i eat. it cause me not to eat as much as i should cause it hurts to chew. i do construction and im 6'6 160 lbs my back always is tight and sore. pain gets bad to the point were i cant work for a week or more. i self medicated to take pain away. i sleep between 3-5 hours a night. its 530 am right now and ive been up since 214 am. i went to bed at 1030 ish. im not sure how to go about gettin a card in mass. how to find a doctor to get a referal to see the cannabis doctor. i was wondering if anyone could help me by explaining how tey got theres what u have to do. i wish now that i had gone to the doctors before but i never thought mass would legalize. so i just self medicated and diagnosed myself instead of having a doctor give me prescription pills. well thanks and hopefully someone can help me. besides saying im a moron for not going to the doctors. i kno that already. :)

    I'm also from mass and have not gotten a card yet, and don't really now how to go about doing so.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I too live in Massachusetts. A card won't help much since there are yet to be any dispensaries to open up. I would suggest waiting until they have dispensaries and what not sorted out.

    There is a.place in frammingham u dont qualify you dont pay. U need medical records. And for now it is a.letter and a card will be mailed when available. I got mine. And it also allows you to grow till a dispensery actually opens

    That sucks canamed had a long waitlist too I hear I called 1st of year and had a month bet its longer now, I knew it wld legalize eventuslly so my back and knee pain history dates to 4 years ago, also u can call around mabe another doctor has shorter wait, and if your symptoms are bad enough its your right to see a dr sooner ;-)

    im hoping that they will realize that i am in constent pain from working construction my whole life. i never went cause ive already had my addiction to pills and i knew thats all they would offer me. so i just used marijuana on my own. so we will see what happens.

    First up, have you ever considered a change in lifestyle?

    One if the best things for your body is a good nights sleep. It seems to me mmj might not be your be all end all cure. I'm sure it can help and make your day a but more pain free but the solution here isn't a card.

    Yes you should get one, and sadly I have no info but that office in Framingham that has popped up in some threads, but you solution comprising of more than a card.

    Just trying to help! Best of luck and hope one day soon you find a daily regime that works

    Edit: I'd suggest some yoga or muscular stretching for your back, Epsom salt baths in addition to medicating. Look into some daily methods for strengthening your back( lower or upper). For a good nights sleep look into some sleepy time tea or the likes. Get a schedule of "winding down". That's been one of my huge things over the past decade and everyone's is different. For a long time I struggle with incredible insomnia but now For example generally i sit down around 7 and watch a movie or play some video games. Around 9 ill lay down in bed and throw on a movie I watch all the time and don't have to pay attention to so there's some background noise generally a comedy. And I'll usually fall asleep around 10:30. Ill wake up around 7 and try to have as progressive as a day as possible so I can start to wind down again at 7.

    It took a while but that was the first major step I seriously felt in feeling better.

    lol ya i have tried many different things to get a goodnight sleep. nothing works but pain killers. i take 10 mg melatonen and get 4 hours sleep. whenever i smoke i sleep great and im not tossing n turning in pain. but i get drug tested so im not able to smoke like i would like to. even if i go out drinking and get drunk im up in 3-5 hrs. i have tried everything. i have sleep problems. but we will see what th dr says when i go

    Hey, watch out with the melatonin. You are taking too much. Do your research!

    My doctor refused to release my medical records so I had to reschedule
