I know all about the problems people are having finding a doctor in RI to sign the RECOMMENDATION..... I suggest ya google Holistic doctors or naturopathic physician in RI and just make sure they can prescribe medicine in RI (as that is the prerequisite for the recommendation)

You are probably going to need to go outside the "regular" medical community. Try googling Holistic or Naturopathic physicians in RI and just make sure that they can prescribe medicine in RI


Peace and lmk how that works !!!

There's only one Naturopathic doc in RI that I know of, and he's got at least a 6 month waiting list...

I don't like having to jump through hoops to do something that I'm going to do anyways, so I'm in no rush at this point. I'm going to do what's right for my body regardless of what any idiot in the government thinks, so it's almost pointless to begin with. I'd love to know where that $75 goes...and why anyone has to pay a group of other people to grow a plant. Last time I checked nature decides that and nothing else.

Ugh, that's so crappy! I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Doctors can be really stupid sometimes, considering all those years of school they went through. I'd have told that first doc to shove those antidepressants right up her ass! marijuana is in NO WAY as dangerous as antidepressants, that's just ignorant. Of course, I'm sure the doc gets some kind of kickbacks from the pharma companies for prescribing their meds. Nobody's going to give her a kickback for recommending cannabis, so that just goes to show you what most doctors are really motivated by.

Not helping patients, but making money.

It's funny, my family's doc will pretty much prescribe anything we ask for. I've gone in and said "A friend gave me some klonopin and it really helped me get to sleep" and walked out with a script for klonopin (pretty addictive stuff there).

One thing to always keep in mind is that you're in charge, not the doc. Let them know right from the start that you're not going to be their guinea pig. YOU know what works because it's what you've already been using.

Strike #2, going nowhere with this doc either...ARRRGHHHH!!! When I asked what I should do to treat my nausea, I was handed a bag of prescription samples and sent out the door. Great.

lmk,

Now, you're gonna "try all the samples" and next appointment tell him none of these work for me but ya know what does !!???!!

I am just SO Frustrated with the system, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for those of you who have chronic / debilitating illnesses (I have anxiety, depression) and can't get the medicine that you need because the system as it stands is rigged against common sense (by the doctors, politicians,...) !! It is trully Inhumane !!!
Stay Strong People, Righteousness is just around the Corner !!!

F the Politicians, state ballot Initiatives like Massachusetts Question 2 decriminalizing under a OZ of MJ is how we must take our country back...!!!!

Viva La Revolvution !!!!

Hi,
I sympathize with you. I have a number of things goin on with my back,neck, hip-nerve damage u name it. I find that MMJ does relax me, when there are times the narcotics dont help. Granted there are many times I NEED a pain pill, but I MUCH prefer vaping or smoking MJ.I am trying to find how I could locate a Rhode Island doctor/specialist for my ailements. I have contacted RIPAC, and they tell me the doctors names are confidential. I have PLENTY of years of medical records and documantation, it is just in finding a doctor who will assist me in getting an MMJ card. I read in this forum to attend a meeting,which seems like a good idea, if you can get the help you need. You did not sound so lucky with that, and I sure dont have money to throw away goin from dr. to dr.I am on a fixed income, so it is difficult.Does anyone in this forum know or maybe can suggest someone who may be a neurologist/neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon who believes MMJ can be a benefit to someone with plenty of chronic conditions?(in need of another surgery or 2, plus the one I recently had).
I may plan on visiting R.I. in the next few months and would like to possibly know of a dr. that I could see and explain things to them.If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it....... Thanks all~~~

Damn! I thought, how hard is it to get a reliable doctor in New Jersey? We're crawling with them here in California. I would start Googling NJ doctors and send each and every one an e-mail until you found a sympathizer. When you make your visit, find out if they mind being posted.
Best wishes in your journey.

Rhode Island, not New Jersey and those would be wasted emails here !!!
