New in Southwest CO area

Hi all, my name is Linda and I am new to MMC here in Salida area. I am actually going to meet with a pain management specialist in Denver. I was told that i have to meet with them first and they will review all my med records and then i will get my card.
I am trying to find places in my area or a caregiver so that I do not have to travel to Denver. Plus learn all of the basics.
I have had over 6 back surgeries with more to come. I am in chronic pain 24/7 and am so tired of taking the pain pills. I really hope to get some relief, I also have severe arthritis now because of all of this.
I would like to know what the costs are? what equiptment i might need or training. DO they do all of that at this clinic?
Sorry this post is so long, I would love to hear from others in Colorado too.
Thank you so much:)

Goatmom, hey there, welcome. Ok so I know there a couple dispensarys in grand junction that have doctors in weekly and I have helped 4 people get their recomendation since getting mine in march. If u like pm me and I can get ya a couple #'s, prices for doc recomendation usually here in gj 160.00 to 200.00, also 90$ regestration fee to depot of public health and envorinment. Bring all ur doctors notes and anything else u think will help, usually done in 10 mins and good 2 go.

This is really good to know. I will keep in touch with you. I live near Salida, so Grand Junction is still a afar way for me to go, about 5 hours 1 way. have you heard of anything around Salida or Canon City area? Please let me know

Sorry goatmom, I shoul have checked google maps, I thaught u were closer, ummmmm, ill keep an ear out 4 ya, good luck.

Thank you so much for replying to me. I am new to all of this, tomorrow morning should be very interesting to me with the Dr in Denver i am going to meet.

Hey goatmom, I sent you a PM. Click on it a where it says cannabis.com in the very upper left and then on that page you can find your inbox, it's a little hidden on this site. I'm from the Colorado Springs area and I know of several dispensaries around here. May be closer to you than Denver and Grand Junction.

Depending on whether you want to grow or not I would recommend different dispensaries because the most professional one with the highest quality organic medicine at the best price does not have clones for sale or anything of that nature, but they have grams for 12.50 and ounces for $350. You can find cheaper ounces, but that's reasonalbe and the quality is very good and 12.50 is the cheapest I've found for a gram. Half an eigth there cost us 23.50 including tax. The guy working there was a personal trainer who doesn't medicate, and it's a very clean and professional environment. I don't think they grow there either, but they have the same prices as Cannabis Therapeutics where they do grow, so that tells you who has the patient closer to their hearts.

The really good deals on high quality organic medicine come from caregiver cooperatives. There's one in denver called C3 initiatives (they do other stuff too so make sure you ask for Miranda before you start asking direct questions). They will sell an ounce from their own inventory for $280, or introduce you to growers who can sell it to you for $250. There is a similar organization in Pueblo which retails an ounce for $200, but they have no Sativa strains. They do have very high quality indicas though.

Check out your PM as well if you can find it! More useful info there.
