So I basically can walk into my Doctors office and simply say I would like a referral to a specialist to get a professional diagnosis?
Then after the appointment with the specialist have them send the diagnosis to my family doctor so its in my file?

yup you take the copies in with you and thye set u up

Once you have proof that you have been seen by a specialist, which would show you have a medical condition. You would contact them to start the process. You could check out the website, maybe contact them to find out all the information u need!

Now does anyone know of a place cheaper then $400?

Have you looked at this place?

I'm not sure if they charge or not, but they will assess you via Skype lol...

Thats actually the place I was looking into. I wish i could remember if I saw a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist 2 years ago. That would save me the trouble of having to make an appointment and see one again.

Hey guys, Nova Scotian here. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 13 or 14 by some specialist. He offered me medication but my mother thought that I would have abused it, So I went without. I have been coping with marijuana to help my ADHD for probably about ten years now, it helps me stay focused on things for more then 10 minutes at a time. Do you think I would be eligible for medicinal marijuana? Ive always wanted to get a medicinal license but never new proper procedures and requirements. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks

for what it's worth.....

I have my licence about 2 years now and the only difference now is the trouble and money I spend to get and keep my licence. Wast of time IMHO. If your growing for yourself than why bother, just stay under the go to jail limit which will soon be 6 plants. All I have done is ratted myself out telling them I smoke it and grow it. I can be a dumb ass sometimes....now they will soon ban growing yourself, what a bunch of dumb fucks the gove can be some times and I won't even start on Stevey Boy who will fill our prissons with our children for growing 10 plants WTF

Hey Woodsman, I ended up ordering some Violator Kush (1.5% CBD) from Attitude... They don't carry Harlequin, unfortunately.

Might just order some from that other site you linked in a little while.

Well I went to the walk-in clinic today and there was a 4 hour wait to see someone. So I made an appointment for Monday morning. Hopefully I can get a referral and get in to see the specialist relatively soon so I can start my application process for my license. Now would a specialist be able to diagnose me for depression in one visit? Ive been diagnosed by my doctor and that was years ago and i've tried a number of anti-depressents over the years.

Why not get your dr to sign he can you know. If you have any friends who smoke weed ask them if they know a MJ friendly Dr. My doctor likes pills so he won't sign mine, he will give 500 Oyx 40 no problem WTF so I asked and called around and found a great Dr and he sighed, just mailed him my renewal

My doc said no way. Seen another doc he wanted to prescribe anti depressants for migraines! I'm still searching

Certain anti-depressants have a co-analgesic effect that may help with migraine pain, but that would require you to be on a pain-killer of sorts already.

Did he not explain his reasoning to you?

If your applying for a Category 2 license, Health Canada requires that you've been diagnosed by a specialist or they wont do it. Its on the application. If I could skip the specialist I definetly would

Hey guys, see some familiar faces and some new ones. I know there's an ON dr who requires the name of the specialist, but not a report or anything, so I don't know how far into treatment with them, but I imagine the first time is better than zero, right?

Looking to switch over growers soon, found someone local, if someone wants I've sampled their products and they're looking for another patient each I believe. They are compassion growers from ON too so anyone looking to switch over too let me know via private message.

happy toking

i suffered some serious personality disorder, anger management problems, severe anxiety and mild to crippling depression. my whole life i was scared shitless that i'd end up the same way as my grandparents (miserable, alone, becoming dimented)... until cannabis turned everything around for me. now that social malfunction no longer rules my life and i have my bachelor's.... all i want to do is grow and consume my medicine with some peace of mind. should i just approach my physician? it's intimidating...

your docter is there to help you and assist you in the path of treatment you choose best, if your doctor is unwilling to do that, they aren't doing their job.

Hey all Ill chime in.

First of all in Canada you need to see a specialist for your ailment, he needs to no nothing or agree on treatment. He doesnt even have to know about your lisence attempts. His signature on your medical file is all that is required, its like a second opinion on your ailment confirming that your doctor is on the up and up. Any doctors signature will do.

Now thats the problem in Canada! Doctors here have been given a generalized memo from HC stating that they will be held responsible if and when they sign any paperwork and basically hint at not signing due to the condition of the current system. Why I know this is my doc actually showed me the memo and was told that they recieve one at least every year.

IMO - I would not waste any time or effort with your family doctor. I went through 5 years of pain and 7 doctors to no avail. Began to think I should give up when I was told about on line doctors. Within 3 months of first contact with a company called donoharmclinic out of BC I was fully legal.

It cost me a total of $400 and everything was handled by them. I read that the waiting times are long but with them my license was on time, 8 weeks, and I recieved the whole package. 2 pink lincenses, production and grow, and a plastic id card for my wallet.

I truly believe this is the way to go for 400 bucks. I used to spend more than that on making budder alone, not to mention my vapin

Good Luck

I don't know about any memo from health Canada??? does not sound right to me. I do know that the Medical association sent out a letter to doctors a few years back warning them of the risk of signing. That is not the big issue with doctors, the issue is it's not main stream medicine in their eyes, that's the issue.

As for seeing a specialist that's not necessary as long as your not saying you have brain damage. If you go because of arthritis your good for 5 g. and the Dr can sign with no issues.
