I will suggest going to a specialist that deals with IBS (Gastroenterologist) and make sure he/she is young.

The Gastroenterologist will be the most symphatic to marijuana, and a younger doctor will not be tainted by the "reefer madness" movies. Many family doctors want to stay away from anything that is "radical."

Good luck

Oh I did, I mentioned that I've been on just about everything for nausea in the past 15+ years, and only marijuana works. I mentioned I was trying to find a strain for migraines so I could reduce the vicodin...I got no where.

Keep searching! If there is a RI Norml site that would be a great place to look for a doctor. Again if you can find a place that only does MMJ reccomendations, that is your best chance of getting a card.

About your IBS symptoms, for me the only thing that helps is either cannabis or a iv of demoral and fentanol (sp), and this involves a expensive hospital stay. January alone was 25k in hospital bills, and they still could not do anything but dope me up till I could not scream anymore, lol. Without the MJ I was in the hospital ALOT more.

Keep trying to get your rec, it will happen!

What an uncompassionate POS.. I swear I would love some of these doctors to walk mile in my shoes.. Would change opinions REAL fast.

Don't lose hope!

Ok, I do not know if you have tried this yet. http://ripatients.org/ They have a contact us section, shoot them an email and le tthem know you are looking for a doctor. Lots of good info there but I did not see any specific doctors links there. Also shoot these guys an email and let them know your problem and if there are any doctors that are not from the stone ages. http://safeaccessnow.org/

This site is from RI and they have a medical section.. http://boards.cannabis.com/rhode-island-ri/ might be some people there that can point you in the right direction.

I'm familiar with the first link, I've already contacted them, been on their mailing list for 6+ months...but they don't give out doctor info/listings.

If you can go to an open community meeting for RIPAC ( ripatients.org ) . The next one is Tue, June 9, 6:30pm – 8:00pm in Providence. Check the calendar on thier website. They are very helpful in person and you will not have a problem finding a doctor with help from people at the meeting. I went 2 weeks ago and will have my caregiver card in 3 weeks. I've also got a dr's appointment for my medical card with a mm friendly doc. Good Luck.....
