I don't know if I missed something StormCrow, but did he mention have chron's disease? But if that's the case, yes cannabis is very helpful for chron's disease as it reduces the bowel inflammation.


NailHead, by the sounds of it I think your doctor will put some real effort into researching the matter. Docs usually like to stay decently up-to-date on all sorts of medical issues if they have to deal with such issues regarding their patients.
If you really want to make it clear that you genuinly need it, and are not just trying to get high, ask him if there are any other medications that act by the same mechanism as cannabis on the intestinal tract, and be open to any alternatives. A couple weeks ago my regular doctor wasn't in so I asked another one to refil my tramadol prescription. She really annoyed me because she obviously thought I was just trying to get some to get high (definately not the case), so I did just what I recommended to you by recommending alternatives, and she finally had enough doubt to prescribe me 20 days worth (albeit hesitantly). So keep this strategy in mind, though please don't ever use it if you are just looking for a high.
mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . Doctor appt. this Friday: How to convince him to write me a recommendation for MJ? I have an appointment with my doctor this Friday, and on my previous visit I asked about medical marijuana but he didn't know anything about it, so he said he would do some research. I don't know if he did though, and I want to do whatever I can to improve my chances of getting my recommendation. I know as a backup I can get it from another doctor if I need to, but money is tight for me so the extra $150-200 that would cost me is just too hard to come by right now....and I really need to get Rating: 5
