You gotta grow it yourself or, get a caregiver to do it for you. Don't look for connections on this forum.

D. Access to Medical Marijuana
Medical marijuana patients cannot go to a pharmacy for medical marijuana. Pharmacies can only dispense medications that are "prescribed." Unfortunately, medical marijuana is classified by the federal government as a Schedule I drug which means that it cannot be "prescribed" by any health care professional.
Under Maine's medical marijuana law, doctors may only "recommend" marijuana, and that allows patients to grow their own medical marijuana for their private use. The state of Maine does not provide information on the acquisition of marijuana. Therefore, the State of Maine will not assist in getting seeds or plants to start growing medical marijuana.

I was not looking for connections. I think just about anyone could find what you just posted. I am asking for personal experiences.

Firstly, you have to have MS, cancer, AIDS, or glaucoma in Maine.

I'm hoping to get permission granted. I have degenerative bone disease,and had both anterior and posterior spinal fusion. On rainy cold days the pain is unbearable, and I can only take so much painkillers. Good weed certainly helps ease the pain.
I thought if I had the operation i'd be good to go, but it hurts now as much as ever.

I have Glaucoma, and I have to be examined by a doctor, go to an eye specialist, and be examined, then go back to the original doctor, the amount of money involved, makes it impossible for me. No insurance. Guess I'm gonna go blind...:(

Hmmmm, State of Maine cops just seized a BUNCH of plants growing outside in Central Maine. "...We're gonna find you..." one cop said.
WTF? One of these days it won't much matter. They state the "thousands of dollars" these plants are worth. Sheesh, yeah, because it ain't going in THEIR pockets. Meanwhile, busts go on, people now go without, that need it, on and on...
I give up. Not smokin' any more. THERE! Screw 'em. Just give me a white cane...:mad:

I sure am glad you are helping MaineMed! I'm just waiting to become compliant. I'm wondering though, what is the point of this forum? Hardly anyone responds, the place is practically like a ghost town. Discussion is useless, if people don't post.
Is anyone happy with the caregivers they currently have? Is everyone just growing their own? Does anyone like me have Glaucoma? Where IS everyone?
Then again, maybe everyone's still too paranoid to post, who knows? Can't say I blame them. It ain't all freedom and light, just yet...
