    Anyone know of any COMPASSIONATE doctors in CT??? I can give you a list of the docs I have spoken with and absolutely ZERO of them want to issue recommendations.
    Its pretty sad, but I can see the writing on the wall... I don't grow, I don't want to... the only way for me to even consider this as an optional medicine is to move myself and my family to a more friendly and compassionate climate... Unfortunately, I can't just pick up and move to Cali.

    Anyone know of the difficulty of getting a card in other near-by states? RI? Maine?

    Anyone know of any CT doctors who understand that cannabis is medicine?

    PJ,

    The physician in CT law need not reside in CT. You just need whatever physician you have sign the state's certification, and discuss the 'risks' associated with mmj. I don't think there will be any trouble finding physicians. You will not be able to utilize a card from any other state, however.

    You need to be an existing patient with the doctor to get a MMJ card, you can't doc shop

    Doc shopping? who is doc shopping? Not me... I have more than enough medical history to go around. What I am looking for, and I'm sure others too, is a compassionate doc to develop a medical relationship with... Then and only then will I mention a recommendation.

    If there is anyone out there who has an understanding, compassionate doc - that is also accepting new patients - please msg. me

    Damn, seems like they'd rather write scripts for painkillers and benzo's before they write one for MJ. That's crazy.

    Its getting hard now to get a card from Drs in CT.... Seems they have tightened up.... However, if you qualify, then your Primary physician should sign off on it.... If not, time to find a new PCP

    Thats the big pharma for us…. trying to be that burden in the process. I wonder how much breathe the politicians could save and law enforcement if it were just allowed and then dealt with…kinda like asbestus or even 3/4s of the non FDA approved drugs they sell on the TV. CT is whack but will hopefully come around

    yea, ct seems to have the strictest MMJ law in the country. Seems like just another hand out to pharma.
    Its such a triumph of fear and ignorance over fact and logic, that the drug that kills nobody...... Is the illegal one!!

    I'm the one who started this thread... I now know of a couple different resources for DESERVING patients in CT... Currently I have an oral recommendation with the written recommendation to be handed to me very soon. Then its on to the DCP website to get my card... All of this is being done in lock-step with my doctor and according to current law.
