Dr's in RI

I honestly do have chronic back pain. Does anyone have a recommendation for a Dr. in RI? Much appreciated.

for all you Rhode Islanders that can't find a Doctor to sign a recommendation,

Call or Email these people and ask them to come to Rhode Island !!!

I have and they need to hear your stories too !!!!!

I e-mailed THCF and they responed saying that they have no thoughts of opening a clinic in RI because there is not enough patients here to make it cost-effective.

This reply to my email was from Sister Sativa thcf staff
she replied on 6/30/2009

When did you contact them? Maybe they are starting to change there minds now that a few people from RI have contacted them. Rule of thumb, Every e-mail contact equals 100 separate opinions.

I called over the fourth of july weekend and was told to send emails to the director. They need to hear from people !!!! Just like politicians need to hear from the people; everything is political from your conversations with friends and family to everyday work conversations..... Everything !!!

Class dismissed, lol !!

Thanks Bill,
I re-replied just to touch base but it would be sweet to have this foundation available to people in RI. So how can we contact the director? His shows are great have been watching them pop on pottv.net for years.

Hi, I called them today, spoke to Dave. He said they have 65 patients on the call back list for RI. The Dr. will come for a 3 day clinic once they have around 150 patients that are registered for appointments. He didn't say but it looks like it may take time unless they get more of a response. If you are even thinking about it and don't know if you qualify please give them a call.
I'm faxing over my last 4 Dr. visit notes today I hope. I have neuropathy in both my left leg and left arm. If it takes much longer I may give a local Neurologist a call to set up an appointment. I am a Veteran and have been visiting the VA Hospital here in Providence for the last 10 years. They don't recommend MMJ and my current Dr. is unable to assist due to the conflict of interest. If there are any patients that see a compassionate neurologist send me a PM or message! thanks...

I was diagnosed with crohn's disease five years ago and have had difficulties keeping it in check. I have tried prednisone, flagyl, pentasa, asacol, mercaptopurine, had surgery 8 months ago to no avail and have now been turned to anti-TNF agents (scary how powerful they are). Luckily for me i have found that even when all of these options have failed and i begin to become ill again, marijuana has always allowed me to maintain as normal a daily routine as possible. My problem now is that i cannot find a doctor that is able to help. My previous doctor whom i had known for 15 years abruptly retired and thus my plan for receiving a recommendation has been halted. So i'm asking anyone out there who thinks they might be able to help, for a push in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS: if you feel more comfortable contacting me via e-mail, i can be reached at [email protected]. thanks again

Fred,
I'm a new patient, but I have my card.

I would recommend that you get in touch with RIPAC: Medical Marijuana in Rhode Island

Hello,
I have a medical card in California; but since I have moved to rhodes island I am unable to find a doctor. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Jill

Jill,
I believe your cali card is good here in RI, not sure what the rules and regs are out there but you should be able to have 12 budding and 12 seedling plants here. By no means am I 100% sure that this is the case but it may be worth checking into.
