Default General "how to approch new doctor?" question RI
permalink
Been living in RI for 5+ years, but doc is in MA and knows of MM use...so I've made an appointment with a RI doctor to possibly switch over permanently and wanted to know how to approach the medical marijuana question/form on the first visit? I don't have a card yet and need the form filled by a RI doc...

Eh? I have no idea what you mean, my primary care doc can fill it out, it says so right on the RIPAC website...

I've been prescribed all sorts of things and they didn't work, which is why I use marijuana. I've been using it for years without a prescription, I just don't like getting arrested for something I'm going to do anyways. I'm on vicodin for migraines, I'd love to know what else they'd like to put me on before trying something safer? I feel like I'm jumping through hoops and paying the government protection money for something I'm going to do no matter what...I don't know of any "medical marijuana" docs in RI, they don't exactly advertise it, the only way to find out is to find a doc in RI and ask I guess.

Ok, in RI you can get your recommendation from a specialist, or your primary care doctor...I'm just hoping I don't have to go thru any more tests to get a card. I don't like seeing specialists, it usually involves something uncomfortable.

I'm in the same situation in RI. Primary Dr won't even listen to any arguments for marijuana. I'd like to know how you made out in your Dr search....

Right now I'm up shit's creek, that's how I've made out...I got absolutely nowhere with the new doc, I photocopied the pamphlet for her, and after 1 month and 2 appointments she told me everything she'd read about marijuana was bad, and wanted to put me on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs and told me I should go to counseling, (because I'm currently using marijuana for IBS that is occasionally, and just occasionally caused by stress or anxiety). So, yeah, that went just fucking great considering I have migraines and IBS, and not depression or mental issues...fuck. She knew nothing about natural medicine, not even probiotics, (which your doc would need to know about if you've got tummy issues like I do). But it gets even better, today I call my old doc in MA for prescription refills since the one I saw twice obviously wasn't going to work out, and they'd completely taken me out of the system, they want me to make an appointment and drive an hour each way to get refills. ARGGHH. I've found one, ONE homeopathic doc in Providence, but I'm almost positive he doesn't take my insurance...and he hasn't returned my phone call yet either. This sucks.
