As far as Canada Lacy, I have no idea what it is like there, so I cant say much about it

To be brutally honest and fair with you all here I thought a LOT about this and what it boils down to is that 'I' AM jealous as ever of the systems that allow such easy access.

I suppose I am being defensive because of the very fact that I HAVE had to jump through loops with this and I do have some serious disorders that do benefit from marijuana.

Our system only sounds great on paper. The only problem with OUR system is that is all sponsored by the government. The doctors get paid via the government so there is absolutely no incentive on their part to give the authority to obtain a card. To go in with money would be totally frowned apon and considered a bribe and not something I could pull off even if it were allowed here.

In the states you actually are the ones that pay your doctors so they have an incentive. MONEY. In our country it is also all about money in the fact that ;
#1/ The Board of Directors of Physicians and Surgeons has told all doctors not to sign these forms as it will put their insurance up.
You pay for your own health insurance in the states, which makes a huge difference.
#3 Unless a doctor approves your application you can be at deaths door. It makes no difference here. This is where our system fails and why people like me need to go to the compassion clubs.

I have already been to two specialist about this issue in hopes that they woud sign and they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.

If that's not the way it works in your state then move to someplace that's more marijuana friendly.Yes I know. And THIS is why I AM so jealous. Sorry but

I wish we had YOUR system here. AND I think at THIS point even IF I DID NOT have a legit reason to get an mm card................Yes I would probably make one up.

So enough lectures from me. i think we are all on the saem page here so to speak.

Well I know here in the states you would have no problem getting it...and if it means a lot to you perhaps moving is an option...

everybody smokes it to relieve something.so who's to say who should have a card or not have a card.

Lacy · #36 06-08-2008, 03:59 PM

You people in the states have a list of doctors and the states they are in that will sign for you to use.

I just don't know the link but I am sure someone will jump in with it.

Good luck.

You guys are so lucky. I'm jealous

So true. Its just my train of thought lately is to compare and judge because that is how it is done here.

We have do prove our condition and even then it is like pulling teeth trying to get a doctor to sign.

The way my gp is viewing this is that if I replace meds than he is not going to get his cut in all the prescriptions he has out to me.

Thats the bs I have to get past and it gets to me after a while.

I think if I could just go in like most of you all and apply and get my mm card I would be a much happier chick

I'm jealous
