New 'Round Here

Greetings! After lurking for awhile I decided to finally register. I'm in the west Michigan area, Muskegon county to be exact. I'm looking for a cert clinic. Like many I have not visited a doctor in several years due to the lack of insurance so I have no recent documentation for my issue.. I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) which leaves me with daily pain in my back, neck and hips. I also suffer painful muscle spasms. I need some help...soon. I appreciate any info anyone can give me.

A little background: I used to smoke recreationally back in the day. I quit when adult responsibilities took over and I built a family. I wasn't against smoking or use in general, I just had different priorities. A friend of mine found me in severe pain one day upon a visit and offered some smoke. At first I declined, then relented. Although my pain didn't completely disappear, it made it more bearable where I was able to actually get the hell out of bed and be somewhat productive! That was the day that I had a serious discussion with my wife and made a decision to seek out becoming a card holder. Now, I just need to get started.
I can tell you that after a hard days work I can eat a bottle of Tylenol and just barely take the edge off the pain. Obviously taking 6-8 Ibuprofen at a time, several times daily is NOT good for your long term health as we all know. This is what I want to rid myself of.

you certainly qualify for a card under the category, chronic pain.
what exactly are you trying to learn right now? whats the question?
youll need to find an mmj doc and pay him (typically) $150.
usually the doc will fill out all the paperwork and place it in an envelope and then you can add a money order for $100 and a copy of your license and send it in. your doctor will ask you if you wanna grow yourself or select a caregiver, so know the answer before you go in. just tell him rzza is growing them. haha joking.

welcome and enjoy the site

Thanks for the replies. Weeds247, I'm not familiar with west Bloomfield, where is that?

pay no attention to weeds, all he does is pimp that shit. there are hundreds of mmj docs all over, muskegon is not even close to w.bloomfield.

rzza, Do you know anywhere close to me that may suit my needs? I'm also one of those broke ass white folk you see walking around.....working poor as some like to call us! With that said, I can't shell out some outrageous $ amount to get a certification.

What you fail to mention is that those doctors up there charge $200+, and the ones that charge $99 are very unprofessional and shady. I know this not cause its "my opinion" but from people calling me up and asking to make an appt.

bill, you pretty much need the money. unless your on ssi then you need to pay 100 to the state and minimum 100 to the doc.

if you have insurance and you have a family doc you can call him up and ask if he would be willing to sign for you. chances are he will say no. worth a shot though.
