can anyone direct me to a compassionate doctor?

i live in rural madison county. i am looking for a doctor who is open to recommending medical marijuana for my medical condition. since i live in a very low population area i do not feel comfortable dealing with my current doctor (who i just met because my last doctor quit his practice) or any other local doctor in this subject without knowing if they are willing to listen without prejudice. since there is such an unfair stigma attached to medical marijuana in the minds of some people i cannot afford to alienate the few doctors that are close to me and are easily accessible. i need a doctor with an open mind who will not brand me negatively for wanting to discuss medical marijuana options.

thanks.

Many people in montana face this same problem, I live in Helena and there are 0 doctors willing to be compasionate and honor the state laws. I dont feel comfortable posting doctors personal info on here, but if you'd like to message me, I may be able to help

thank you for the reply tc. i'm having trouble figuring out how to message you. i have added you as a contact but am blocked from sending a message. not sure why.

MCN - Providing Free Resources to the people of Montana about Medical Marijuana
I used these people. Nice doctor, had to wait a couple of hours because of the number of people (160 patients). Bozeman 24 sep, billings 25 sep, they rotated around the state every month. Just get a copy of your med records, fax or mail them in so she can prescreen, saves time.

I have a list of a couple discreet doctors that are easy to get appts with and reasonably priced.

While the MCN is doing a great thing in mass sign ups and getting the # up overall for the state of Montana, a lot of folks I talk with in Madison county that are interested in medical cannabis prefer not to have to go through the riggeramore the MCN set up. Last time in Bozeman my patients were almost assaulted by the caregivers there trying to sign them up with promises of outright lies!

If your interested contact me.

I am a patient and a caregiver in Ennis that is more then willing to help you out in any way you need.

Thanks!

PS - A couple pics of my patient care center sign and some trichromes and baby flowers (3 weeks into bloom) for your viewing pleasure.

Perhaps this Montana | The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation, THCF Medical Clinics, THC Foundation, Montana Medical Marijuana Doctors, Medical Marijuana Referrals, Montana Medical Marijuana Clinics, Helena, Missoula, Billings, Montana, Serving The Cannabis Community S could be considered an option.

thanks herbiculator.

got it covered thanks to hopecaregiver and tc42o. all the paperwork is in and i'm waiting for the card.

It's the waiting that sucks.....seems to take FOREVER!

HOPEFULLY by Turkey Day huh?

I know they hired at least 2 temps to work in the state office as that was during the time when I got my card the end of August. Hope it sped the process up. I would be interested to know how long it takes for you to get your card. Mine was RIGHT AT 8 weeks.

Hang in there - stay safe and LEGAL til yer embracing your card!

It took me 4 weeks, in April 09, a patient of mine had to wait 10 weeks over the summer.. So it varies alot, can't hate on the wait though, that just means their is A LOT of people getting signed up for the program - POWER IN NUMBERS
