Qualifying for a Card

I have suffered from lower back pain and back spasms for close to 9 months now. I saw my PCP back in September of last year and she prescribed muscle relaxers (flexeril) and anti inflammatory meds. I still suffer from the spasms and pain. I can rarely sleep through the night without waking several times cramped up and in pain. Its hard for me to sit for long periods of time at work as well. I am constantly having to changed positions and stand up and walk around to avoid the pain and my back getting cramped up. I am going to see a chiropractor this week and was wondering if medicinal marijuanna might be an option. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
Mmj is surely an option for you. There are many great mmj doctors in the valley most will see you without charging unless you qualify. I am not a doctor and would not definitively know, but it seems that your condition would qualify. What you need to do is schedule an appointment with an mmj friendly doctor and bring with you your medical records from you PCP stating the condition and its documented history. The doctor will evaluate you, review your records and then either write you a recommendation or choose another option. Then you submit the doctor recommendation along with a photo of you, a copy of a signed attestation form stating that you wont divert medicine to nonpatients, and a copy of a valid ID along with a 150$ fee to dhs (75 if you are on food stamps) and then dhs will review your application and send you out a card if you qualify.
 
Thanks, irieie

I am going to make an appointment and see what happens. I have my medical records from my pcp and will have some from the chiropractor soon. I would give anything for a full night of pain free sleep. I have forgotten how it feels to get a good nights sleep.

You know what will happen? You will get approved. Just go to a MMJ friendly doctor they even have quite a few doctors who will give you your money back if they cant get you qualified.. You will be qualified dude, just play the part.

no problem glad i could be of some help. and once you are approved you should hit up hydrobreed dot com. it is a forum like this except it is only for arizona and patients and caregivers are verified and you can find good caregivers with medicine there.

yep i would agree with that. he does not have to play the part, it was written for people like him.
 
Well I just saw my pcp again today, just prescribed more muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory meds. I'm gonna make an appointment at Phoenix Green Cross and see what happens. Thanks again for all the responses.

irieie, I will check out hydrobreed.

Good luck we will see you on the other side.
 
You can also check out Arizona Cannabis Society you can join now, and when you have a green card you will be able to view private area's, but you can join in on live chat now.. www.azcsforums.com
Funny... How irieie is a member of both, but only advertises one.

yes i am a member of both and i like hydrobreed better. azcs is alright they are both different.
 
My PCP gave me my recommendation for MM. I filed all the info myself and it saved me a ton of money. My Wife went to one of the clinics and paid $325 I only paid $75 doing it myself.
 
I'm officially legal!! Everything went smooth at the Dr I went to. The people couldn't have been any nicer. According to the DR my condition and symptoms are a quite common reason for getting approved.
