medical history: sleeping disorder, anxiety disorder

nothings helped me for my condition better than weed so would do u know if i have a chance in qualifying?

[Headin2KONA]

yup you'll just have to show them your medical records of taking anti-anxiety meds...

[bmxrider4450]

i also forgot to say that i have ADD and take prescribed pills for that too. do u think they would deny me because it might make my ADD worse?

i think its going to depend on the kind of doctor you get

To be brutally honest, most "cannabis specialists" are in it for the $. They don't give a fart whether you have a medical problem or not- they will give the recommendation for darn near anything (or nothing). A few of them still have ethics, though. But if you have even a minor problem, you'll get the recommendation. If you have REAL problems, it's just a matter of bringing in your records and paying the nice doctor! Cali- gotta love it! - Granny:hippy: (legit medical user, and darn happy about it!)

storm crow is pretty right on; i got my card on monday in san diego from dr. jimenez (1888-xxx-herb or something, he's on canorml, which is where you should be looking for a doc)

anyway, i had a lot of records, from chronic lyme disease, pain, insomnia, all sorts of stuff, but as soon as i walked in the door he was basically writing the scrip

really great guy, and if you're in socal, go see him. it was relatively cheap; only $100 total, which included a $25 pre-qualification online

he may be in it for the money, but seemed to me to be a very good guy, and a quite highly educated doc; i could tell he'd probably write the med scrip for anyone with any documented condition, and for your documented insomnia, for which you've TRIED OTHER MEDS, i'm pretty sure you'd be a slamdunk

actually gave me good advice on my condition and how to avoid charlatans preying on the chronically ill; he was telling me that a big part of what he does is to sue groups that prey on chronic pain sufferers for their money

he also gives out a little wallet-card type thing that is another piece of documentation to give to co-ops or the police if need be

seriously, why wait? go do it, man; it took hardly any of my time, and by that night i had called up a delivery service and was smoking some great medical herb

so go for it, you'll get it no doubt, and if you're in socal, jimenez is the man

quite the opposite; i do believe that cannabis can be a treatment for ADD, or atleast ADHD

anyway, i think the big question is the one you haven't mentioned, how old you are? i'm guessing you're young

[Thepossumdance]

as long as you are not mildly retarded and can do some very simple internet searching you can find about 900000000000000 doctors in the greater LA area that will give u a recommendation with no "documents" or evidence of prior medical conditions (other than what u tell them lol) honestly stop waiting and go get one...

ah, i think you'll do just fine; my experience was EXCEPTIONALLY easy, quick, and freakin awesome baby :) being a med patient is fantastic and i intend to stay a med patient for the rest of my life, or until mj is legalized fully

on another issue: the mj has helped my pain quite a bit, i'm still learning how to use it to help my pain, anxiety, insomnia etc. while still remaining alert and capable when i need to be; i'll tell you this, i love cannabis, and i've learned very quickly that all the propaganda about it taking over your mind and life is such incredible bullshit; this plant is going to be part of my life and my garden forever or until i die, whichever comes first :)

ps: don't pay more than $100 total; Jimenez is in LA on certain days and he'll do it for $100 (have to do $25 pre-qualify online, very easy); so either use him, or anyone else, but don't spend more than $100; i called another CANORML dude in OC before i went to jimenez and they were going to charge me $200, so don't overpay, you don't need to; i don't know other docs but i don't think jimenez wouldn't deny you unless he had to by law for some reason; don't mean to advertise, and perhaps i shouldn't shine light on anyone in this semi-shady job, but i really liked this guy
