Medical in northern ontario?

I am wondering if there is somewhere that i can get information to bring to my doctor as i live in a small town in northern ontario and medicinal marijuana is not a popular subject, I have been taking pain killers for 3-4 years now, and have a spinal injury(one vertebra broken in 3 places) that I cannot do anything about. I have been smoking marijuana for a fairly long time and find it helps a lot in my pain relief, I would much rather be able to use marijuana over oxycodone and other pills like that.

also if anyone knows of a doctor list i would love to find one... my dr tends to be a jackass and I doubt he will sign my form... anyone know if this would be considered a category 1 or 2?

well i got in to see my doc today... pretty much got thrown out of his office, but on the bright side on my way home i went to the specialist i saw a few months ago, and seems like he may sign my category 1 letter of diagnosis for chronic pain to get membership the tcc... just had to tell the secretary that I was trying to get a membership to a private resource center to help people with pain management. she said that she will talk to the doctor later today and see what she could do possibly "twisting his arm" and to come back tomorrow...

anyone have any new experiences with this issue?

come on guys... no one has any experience on this here?

Hi there. I know it is very discouraging trying to get anyone to help you if you live in Canada. Its seems that if you live in the states, you get all kinds of help but if you live in Canada it seems your invisible.

You can go to marihuana.ca to get info to take to your doctor OR go to Health Canada and look under the letter M - and find medical maihuana or marijuana. Its under the regulations MMAR or write to Health Canada

Haha, my bad. I meant how did that happen. Did you find a new doctor to sign your papers. I heard doctors in Toronto don't want to sign them because their insurance goes up or something. Hopefully my doctor will sign the papers next week.
