I am from Oklahoma and considering moving this summer. I would like to know before i move if I would be able to obtain a license? I am 29 and a veteran. I have a degenerative disc in my lower back that causes muscle spasms. If that does not qualify me in washington I would be forced to move to New Mexico and get my license for my PTSD... Who wants to live in the desert??? I would like to know how this process works. It is kinda hard to sift through all of the websites. Thanks...

One of the main criteria in Washington's law is that you have to have tried other mainstream medications or methods on your problem and it hasn't worked. One of the easiest ways to get qualified is to have tried different opiates a couple times and have them make you throw up. Opiate intolerance is very common. We don't have a lot of doctors doing authorizations here in Washington but you shouldn't have any problem finding one to get you authorized.

I have had loratab, hydrocodine, and the oxy- one like it and they make me very itchy and feel dizzy. I prefer not to take any pain meds over taking the one's prescribed to me. Plus, when I take pain meds I am not able to function.

Thank you for the links to the reading material. I will def read that before I get back on and ask more questions...

I was scared that nobody was going to respond to me because I am not registered yet. Here in Oklahoma the times are pretty slow, it will be twenty years before they consider alternative medicine. I think other states should follow suit with New Mexico and allow veterans with PTSD to have a license.

I am saving money right now for my move and should be ready by mid summer...
I will graduate with a mechanic degree and sell ONE of my mustangs for the trip.

Again, Thanks so much for the info. This has been on my mind for a while now and I really like planning ahead and having a clue of what to do when I get there. From what I can tell... WASHINGTON ROCKS!!!!

Dustin, before you make the move, make sure you do your research about a job, place to stay, and the MMJ community. When I came, I had $10K and even with doing research, it didn't last long. I'm still here, but just barely sometimes, with help from my seen and unseen friends!!! If you need any help just ask. I would say King County/Greater Seattle is your best and safest bet, then go for university towns and places next. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the concern... I do get 70% service connected disability for my PTSD and it gets me about $1,230 every month and still should be able to work. Not quite the same as welfare but still not enough to live on.
My case worker told me to push for the whole 100% because my initial rating was so high at 70%. She said that they never give you the whole amount the first time... So I filed another claim about five months ago and I should get my rating with the next month. If I were to get 100% that would give me $2,600 a month but I would not be able to work...

As a vet and care giver I can tell you yes. 1st make sure its in your VA records. WA is a MMJ state and so you will not lose benefits. The VA can not recommend MMJ but they can prov you have exalted all other options. If you are moving to the Tacoma area Ask to be put on the Silver team. Gold team is for Iraq vets but they are all offices that are fresh out the military and do not handle MMJ to well but the silver team dose very well. But they will call you out on your bull shit if all your trying to do is get high.

There's your authorization right there. And I would add that it makes you vomit too. A lot of people are opiate intolerant. All you'll need is copies of your doctors chart notes. Get copies of those before you move west.

I'm in favor of as many people receiving legalization as possible. I don't really care about whether they are medically using or whether they are using for there reasons that are none of my business. While It has worked well for my bone disease it works even better as a phsycological benefit even more. If you find you are getting very frustrated and angry for whatever reasons, there is nothing better to calm you down than firing up a big fatty. The masters of the universe want you to believe that because it is a mood altering drug it is evil. Very untrue. That is one of the most beneficial parts of this wonderful plant.
SO for those trying to get approved for MMJ opiate intolerance is one of the easist and best ways to get approved.

I too live in WA, and was able to call Dr. Gil's for a very brief phone conversation. Upon my phone call, I had one main question:
May I be able to obtain a license if i am an asthmatic and most prescribed solutions have yet to work for me?
He told me yes it is possible, but he himself does not like to take patients for that reason. He referred me to CBR Medical (A clinic in the Spokane area) and said they would be able to help.

I had a few other things that I was unable to find in my readings. Age 22, working in a mainstream industry, would it even be worth trying to get one? and if so, do i understand correctly that it is not cheap to obtain or have one?

In my opinion, if it works medically, and its a valid reason by the RCW, Gil should have a good idea on that, I'd go for it. Cheaper then legal fees, etc if the worst happened. :thumbsup:

I think the asthma issue would be a hard one to prove if you get your ass drug into court. Though you might be able to make an arguement that the edibles might help. But as an example if you were busted and they found smoking paraphenalia you'd probably get nailed.
I would go the pain route if it was me. If you've got an old injury or a part of your body thats bothering you start seeing the doctor about it so it gets on his chart notes. Try a few prescriptions for pain relievers and complain of vomiting. It really is the easiest way.
I know this all sounds like cheating and such but you play the game the way its being played against you and they don't want you to enjoy this wonderful herb. Just play the game. Life is a game.

my recommendation is for chronic INTRACTABLE pain and degenerative disc disease, but I DIDN'T take any pharmas to "eliminate" them as a not working alternative; i chose from the beginning to use alternative medical (my right as an adult patient) and REFUSED to take pharma, have surgery, thus effectively eliminating them as an option for treatment by MY choice...and for years chose to pursue alternative treatments; once i explained that, and my personal convictions, I didn't have any problem getting my recommendation.
good luck!
