Medical marijuana has been good for me.
I was using a cane and walker when I went in to see my pain management healthcare expert.
I could no longer let him use me as a pincushion. If he could not help me walk again separate from putting shots in me, I would just accept the inevitability of needing a wheelchair, and buy one before it was a necessity. He offered to help me get medical marijuana. He would not guarantee it would take away all the pain, but they would ease it enough to make walking more doable. He offered me the name of a colleague who was licensed by the state to get my medical marijuana ID card for me. He wrote the name of the website that I had to go to and pre-qualify for medical marijuana. Once I was pre-qualified, I had to call the healthcare expert and make an appointment. It was almost a month before I got the appointment. I was told to bring $250 cash and pay at the main window. An hour later, I was called into the healthcare expert’s office. He asked if I was a patient at the pain clinic and I said yes. He told me he had my medical reports, and he agreed I was a candidate for medical marijuana. He said that by the time I got home, he would have his paperwork completed and sent into the state, when I got the notification that the healthcare expert offered his consent, I had to send another $35 to the state. I wished they made it easier and cheaper to get a medical marijuana ID card.
