Hopefully by now you've gone over to NORML and gotten the list of doctors. It is easier to get a recommendation if you have your records. All they do is show the cannabis specialist that you DO have a valid medical condition- that you aren't just making it up. The fact that your records are old could be a plus- you didn't just go into a doctor, make a bogus complaint, get the records and immediately head over to a "pot doc" for a rec.

You just need to ask your old doctor for your records- if you feel you must give an explanation, just say you are going to a specialist about your continuing migraines. Mine arrived in the mail in about a week.

What to expect when you go- It is like a regular doctor's office. A P.A. will take your blood pressure and all that jazz. The doctor will give you a quick check up, and talk to you about use and your condition. You pay the receptionist, she hands you a piece of paper and you walk out legal. That piece of paper is ALL you need. You can now grow 6 mature plants and possess 8 ounces of bud.

The county card can save you hassle with the cops, but I live in an area that (a) hasn't seen fit to offer them just yet, and (b) is rather corrupt - I trust the locals about as far as I can throw the county courthouse! and (c) I like to keep a very low profile.

I have no experience with the dispensaries- our only one was shut down long ago. Sometimes, they have their own cards, too, but i really know nothing about them. However, did you notice that there is a "Cannabis Club Directory" in to tool bar above? LOL That might be a good spot to start. Also, ask the receptionist- she'll know.

My rec is for migraines due to a severe childhood head trauma. I've been using cannabis for 40 years- love it! And for some good reading on migraines (and other conditions) and cannabis, click the link in my sig! - Granny:hippy:

ps- Get a vaporizer! I love my little Vapor Brothers! SO much easier on the lungs!
