As far as Canada Lacy, I have no idea what it is like there, so I cant say much about it

To be brutally honest and fair with you all here I thought a LOT about this and what it boils down to is that 'I' AM jealous as ever of the systems that allow such easy access.

I suppose I am being defensive because of the very fact that I HAVE had to jump through loops with this and I do have some serious disorders that do benefit from marijuana.

Our system only sounds great on paper. The only problem with OUR system is that is all sponsored by the government. The doctors get paid via the government so there is absolutely no incentive on their part to give the authority to obtain a card. To go in with money would be totally frowned apon and considered a bribe and not something I could pull off even if it were allowed here.

In the states you actually are the ones that pay your doctors so they have an incentive. MONEY. In our country it is also all about money in the fact that ;
#1/ The Board of Directors of Physicians and Surgeons has told all doctors not to sign these forms as it will put their insurance up.
You pay for your own health insurance in the states, which makes a huge difference.
#3 Unless a doctor approves your application you can be at deaths door. It makes no difference here. This is where our system fails and why people like me need to go to the compassion clubs.

I have already been to two specialist about this issue in hopes that they woud sign and they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.

If that's not the way it works in your state then move to someplace that's more marijuana friendly.Yes I know. And THIS is why I AM so jealous. Sorry but

I wish we had YOUR system here. AND I think at THIS point even IF I DID NOT have a legit reason to get an mm card................Yes I would probably make one up.

So enough lectures from me. i think we are all on the saem page here so to speak.
