MMAR refused, can anyone suggest a private clinic?

Green Leaf Medical- if you are not in the Vancouver area they can do the interview by Skype. Cost me $400 and had my license in 5 weeks

http://www.progressiveclinic.ca/ seems to be another, haven't had any experience, but was referered by a reputable person.

One I heard about, again, I know nothing about it:

I contacted them about 2-3 weeks ago, havent heard anything back yet. Trying to find a doctor myself, but having no luck.

While more liberal than a regular doctor, they still seem to pick and choose which conditions cannabis can help with. I got this back from them:

Unfortunately, within our clinic our partner Doctors have decided against signing patients into the program with a diagnosis of depression due to the fact marijuana can make things drastically worse long term.

I know I sound a bit frustrated here, but seriously? Cannabis vs. anti-depressants and anti-psychotics? I feel whole with cannabis, I feel like an emotionally neutered test animal on anti-d's and anti-p's. Now I have a compassionate clinic feeding me the same lines "traditional doctors" have given me. I've been trying to legitimize my medical treatment of choice for over a decade and not even a "compassionate" clinic can help. Sorry, just a vent, the system is borked.

The good news is that you got a response. I have called and emailed others and have heard nothing back.

If i can ask, how long did they take to email you back?

Same day, very cordial ...

My mother was given the forms to apply by her pain specialist. It says you have the option to let a third party(me) grow for you. What are the stipulations and rules to this? If her doctor has given her these forms, does that mean it is a for sure thing or just the chance to apply? Also, I had my ass brutally kicked 2 years ago and have dull constant pain in my neck, shoulder AND jaw from this(beat unconscious then kicked in the face), do you guys think I have a chance to be eligible for my license? I had an MRI recently, hopefully that will help me.
