Old lady here - Bi-Polar (oh yeah I'm loads of laughs), Degenerative Disc disease and arthritis. I'm sick of being sick not only from the disorders but also from the bloody meds the Drs have prescribed.
How does one go about getting a MMJ cert? And where in the world would one find "it" after getting certified?
We don't have insurance, so if anyone has a MD hookup that's not going to run a fortune I'd really appreciate the 411.
THCF has doctors in Hawaii, and can help you with all of your questions about local access and laws.
Hmmm well I think I'm screwed - I haven't seen a Dr in over 3 years - just couldn't afford it, only a nurse nurse practioner and that's not acceptable per the first page.
Thanks for the info though. Maybe one day I can get pain free the natural way instead of downing all this man made-chemical crap.
Go to one of these free clinics and GET TREATED! Your health is more important than your pride.Quote:

Will def give it a check, especially as I'm sitting here sick as a dog. The Vog set my allergies and asthma off, now lungs are full of fluid. Oh boy - relief at last.
Can't tell you how much mahalo I send your way. In this day and age not much kokua seems available in people's hearts.
Vog has been bustin my sinus's the past couple weeks.
It's been so bad for me that my nose is bleeding, it's gotten crusty and sore (sorry that's gross I know) - I look like the nostril is rotting off :(.
Next question, is where can I find a cigarette pipe? Mine's gone walk-about, I'm in Pearl City, don't drive a lot so I'd like to find some where close. I don't smoke much - one hit quitter, as I only want the level to ease the pain and give me an even feeling.
holy smokes is in pearlcity. its in that little shopping center on kam hwy right after the chevron and right before the strip club electros going town bound. hope this helps.
i was wondering if you have that kind of info for RI, all my health care comes from the VA, i doubt my doctor would certify me so i need another doctorQuote:

One suggestion - contact your area AIDs support group and ask them if they can recommend a MD who will look at your health certs from the VA and possibly recommend for you.Quote:

Sorry forgot. Its like $25 for a pre screening on the web, and if your pre pay for your appointment its like $100 and then when you go to see him he tells you to bring a $25 money order for when they submit your stuff to the state.
Good luck again.

Have you thought about growing? If all you need is a small amount, you could potentially get away w a 2-4 plant perpetual grow. There are also a number of folks who will gladly help you understand the needs of a ganja plant...Quote:

TA Chronisseur, but to grow you need seed - and seeds I don't have :D. I'm too afraid of losing everything to order offline. We're getting to retirement age so the idea of the Feds knocking on the door to seize everything sorta scares the bejezuo outta me.Quote:

TA Infamous, my stars you're a wealth of information - trying to get started on medical files so I can get to the clinic. You've been a big help.Quote:

Hey Jhrdwyn. Go to this forum. forum.grasscity.com and pm me. my screen name is Infamous 1.

Go over to treating yourself .com (all one word) a nice little Canadian site. There are a few Hawaiian members. PM me when you get there- I can give you more detailed info then. - Granny:hippy:
TA both of you, just registered waiting for email conformation
Jhrdwyn,
I hope everything was successful with your visit. I also am under the care of the same physician, he is a great help.
By the way, hello neighbor, I'm right next to you over here in Aiea.
Are you familiar with American's for Safe Access?
This wont help though, to get a PO Box, you have to give your home address that they keep on file, its a federal law that they have to follow now, so being anonymous with a PO Box doesn't work any longer.Quote:

I have several mail boxes at various mail box services across the country for various businesses that I own, I also have 4 here in Hawaii at different locations, none of them are in a Post Office. It is the same everywhere because it is a U.S. Postal Regulation. For them to be able to offer mail boxes to the public, they have to follow the same regulations.Quote:

Then arrest you for receiving it. This has happened a couple times already in the past. Normally its for larger quantities, but be aware that its a possibility.
thanks, sadly you have dashed my hopes of remaining nameless, LOL.Quote:

That really sucks, I had that happen to me last year, lost everything. Thats when I switched over to a Macintosh, dont have to worry about that ever again,lol.Quote:

This is like the 4th time he's jacked the system. Bless him. My Mac was stolen, nice huh. We were living in Ewa Beach at the time. Sold that home. Whole area was getting hit. Never got a bit of the property back.Quote:

Thanks. I have no idea where Im supposed to get the "extra" time from, I am Archbishop of the church, director of the Honolulu ASA chater, I run 4 businesses, plus volunteer with the Red Cross.Quote:

Thats turning into a full time job in itself.
Oh my stars you must be run off your legs :(. I haven't seen the DLNR wedding issue - but I've been sort of in a cave. *Finally* am diagnosed with fibromyalgia ... sad thing is I've probably had it all my life, the symptoms have been present (tender muscles, chronic headaches/pain, etc.) and it took 51 years for someone to figure it out...not to mention all the tests. Crazy!Quote:

Plus DH is out of town for a week and I don't know his friend well enough to ring him to ask him if he can help. It's been a really bad summer for me.
Nuff grousing though - I'm just *finally* happy that a dr was able to diagnose what was wrong with out any BS about age, being a woman with psych problems, etc LOL
I would take the whole file, just in case.
Here on Oahu there are two offices with physicians who will write the recommendations if they feel its necessary, but I recommend Dr. Jiminez at Medical Marijuana of Hawaii. His office visits are about $100 cheaper than the other doctors are, and he is a patient himself. He is also one of our ASA members and will be giving you our business cards when you go in for the visit, lol.
He s a great doctor, I switched over to him last year, and this year when I re-registred, I didnt even think about going to anyone else. He is the best.
Thanks so much, have to wait until DH gets back from mainland, death in family :(
I've about quit driving unless I absolutely *must* ... have no other recourse. Lovely panic attacks behind wheel...not so good LOL
If you get an appoitment set up to see the doctor, and you cant get a way there, give me a call at 352-5815 and we will make sure you get there.
Thank you - makes me want to cry that there are still good people in the world
ha koool i go to leilehua!!! lolQuote:
