i have been a faithful medicann patient for at least 5 years now. every year i go to medicann and renew my script. then i go 2 blocks across town to the county office and apply for my state ID card. it takes about 2 weeks then they call and i go pick up my card.

so this year i call medicann as usual. i make my appointment and get renewed. i go to the county office, pay my fees and apply for my ID card. they told me then that medicann only has 1 Dr in the area that can sign off for state ID cards. they told me they mail them to medicann and he does this once a month so it would be about 5 to 6 weeks to get my ID card. no problem i say.

today i get a call from medicann. they can't sign my papers off without me seeing ANOTHER Dr. a Dr who happens to be in Concord. i live in santa rosa. that's 4 hours round trip. times open are between 9 and noon. nice am traffic. then she says "well there is no charge".

i was pissed. i told them this was wrong. that they should tell me that they don't have a LOCAL Dr to sign off for the state ID. instead they just took my money. they know i get a state card because the state contacts them every year. shouldn't this be on file? they could have told me before i was ever seen and i would have just gone to a local Dr here in town. we have many. then the state could deal with the local Dr directly.

why is medicann trying to make me drive 4 hours to be "reseen"?

then medicann says "well the state card isn't needed anyways. it's strictly voluntary". i don't think that's any concern of there's. is it?

so now i have to go to a new Dr here in town and be re-evaluated. then i have to go back to the state and reapply. i'm not sure what is going to happen with all my fees i've put out already. but at least it will all be local. within a few blocks of home. not 2 hours away.

i will NEVER use or recommend medicann again. they have become less than "helpful".

i wish i could get a script for weed in my state! all they are trying to do in CT is decriminalize anything under an ounce so that if i get caught with less than that i get a citation and no court!

WOW! I had heard such great things about them...

I've been saying medicann is a crock of shit monopolizer for years... Anywhere cannabis can be used medicinally they have been opening up shop and raping peoples wallets while providing less than satisfactory service. I always recommend going to a small in-town doctor who deserves your business... Medicann DOES suck balls. Big hairy (_)_)===D but without the ====D because they would like it too much.

The reevaluation from Medicann is free for people who want the state card, due to the fact that the state has changed the rules.

MEdicann is the McDonalds of pot recommendations - whatcha expect? Hell, you pay and before you even enter the doctors office your recommendation is already signed - It's a big joke to actual patients but not to bad if you ask me.

that's not what the state told me.

maybe medicann should disclose this before taking my money.

maybe medicann can work with qualified Dr's.

way to "pass the buck".
