Firstly, I have pins in my 5th and 4th Metatarsal that hold my bones together and create constant daily pain. Marijuana is nearly the only method of pain relief that actually allows me to sleep and make it through my day. It is because of this that I am pursuing my medical marijuana license. I've read many forums where it seemed "stoners" were trying to create an excuse for their card rather then having a legitimate condition. Just wanted the record to be set now that I am an adult and pursuing my license for strict medical purposes.
That being said, I recently moved to Montana from Maryland. I live in Great Falls, MT. In Maryland the medical MJ laws are different and don't require a licensed card.
I'm following the steps of contacting a doctor and caregiver and pursuing the application for a MM license here in Montana.
My question is what steps I should use in talking with my doctor?
I feel that I should be very honest up front and tell them that my goal is to be recommended for MM. Maye this isn't a good idea?
Should I tell them that I've smoked marijuana in the past?
Should I tell them that being recommended for MM is my goal in setting up an appointment?(I'm worried that the doctor I choose will be prejudice and not look at state laws and be compasionate about my condition.)
Should I make it clear that MM is about the only pain relief method that allows me to move about freely and continue my day?
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make the doctors appointment as easy as possible would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to choose a doctor, spend the time/money/effort to have an appointment only to be turned away.
