Where are you located in MT? how do you become a caregiver there? My permanent address is there. While I most definitely do not have the capability or resources currently, I would still love to know what it takes to be one.
Helena Area, You?
All you have to do to become a caregiver is find a patient that puts you down on their state registration, which is the document that the doctor signs that recomends the patient. Once they have sent in their registration the state sends out a card to the care giver with the patients name and caregivers name on it, and the patient gets their own card with their name and their caregivers name on it. As of now (there is a bill in the house on March 20th that would change this) a patient can only get his medical marijuana from the care giver listed.
If you want to know anything more about the new bill and its specifics search for MT Legislature HB 236 it has a bunch of changes for the medical law that would really help patients and caregivers.
Hope that helped
Hey, thanks. i live way east, ever heard of Sidney? lol, almost a North Dakotan.
If you need any help finding a doctor or know anyone in need of a caregiver let me know. We need as big of a medical community here as possible!
Hello
I live in Bozeman.
A doctor referral would be awesome.
THC Foundation would probably be the fastest way, there are still a few doctors that will but they're booked up all the way til July
let me know if you need a care giver, I'm running some great strains
What exactly does it mean to be a caregiver?
I live in North Dakota, about 60 miles from Montana (jkalb42, I know where Sidney is, been there MANY times to play hockey growing up).
I am thinking very seriously about moving to become a patient. If I make the move I want to be sure that I can become a patient. I'm not HIV positive and I don't have cancer, but I can have back pain. It's severity depends on how difficult it is to get a card.
Can I get a real idea of who gets accepted or denied (if any?).
If we can't talk candidly here would someone please email me? [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
If you have a records of severe or chronic back pain there are a couple of options that should be guaranteed. It really is just dependant on if you have adequeate documentation.
sry i didn't see this earlier manQuote:

so any care giver can have as many patients as they can handle, and thus a care giver can legally have 6 plants per patient that has signed with them
i hope this helped..
THANK GOODNESS! Finding SOMEONE..........ANYONE, over the last two weeks since I've finally commited to doing this has been overwhelming in EVERY ASPECT except ONE..........finding a doctor for a referral!!
As far as years of documented experience on the part of the medical community as a "test experiment" for every combination of pharmaceutical (or every other for that matter) method of pain management, I've got PLENTY!
As a legitimate TREATMENT for my particular condition THIS literally trumps anything and everything I've ever had!
I would have NEVER believed it!! There's a glimmer of hope for a better quality of life I thought was perhaps lost permanently.
It's taken 5 years to get here but NOW I'm worried as to how long it will take to get a referral and do this properly as it scares the life out of me right now!
I'm going to try the link above to the THC thingamajig link but if there is any other information that is sent in a more discreet manner my email is [email protected]
I welcome any and all suggestions and look forward to being a part of this "clan" in the near future.
Take care and God bless ya'll...........
check your mail.. hope it works out for you man!
I would take any info that you have I live up in Whitefish I have been thinking about getting a card for awhile now I just don't know where to start. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
^^^that really is the best and fastest way to go about getting your card if you have plenty of records..Quote:

Hi I live in eastern Montana, a very tiny community, so getting a doctor here is impossible, I have cancer, dx'd in 2009, I did not do chemo/rad as doctors wanted me to, am doing all natural, nutrition, etc, What I would like to know is if this will prevent me from getting a patient card? I truely believe in the way I am treating my body and this diease, but I also know that THC is what I need to defeat this, so I really want to try and get a card. If anyone can help me with a doctor referral that is close to me, and give me an idea if I would be able to even get a card as I did not do chemo/rad, I would greatly appreciate it. I have seen several Doc's who have diagoned me and I do have the medical records, they just won't have anything else to do with me now as I will not do their treatments.
Thanks in advance for any info.
