Anxiety-No medical records...

[missJambi]

i totally feel ya on the anxiety part. so many docs have given me meds, you knopw, the chemical man made crap, and it didnt do a thing but give me the shakes.
mari. is the only thing in this world that helps it.
im suffering from it pretty bad today as i fought with my man last night, that sick feeling in my tummy and all...cant wait to go home and blaze this fukked up week away!

my uncle is a medical mari. supplier in oregon and ship to medical houses in cali and yes, you can get a license there...you just need to have a california address...grab a friends or open a po box.

california will give a permit to anyone! lool:thumbsup::hippy:

i have read some other threads that mention medicann, are they the best place to go to? does it depend on the doctor that you see? how long is your medical card/ diagnosis good for? do you have to renew it or anything like that? Frequent trips to the doctors?

I don't have personal experience from MediCann. The only info I have them is purely by hearsay. I hear that they are lenient as far as writing recommendation's for MMJ patients. What I also hear is they won't back you up in court if you get in trouble by the law (unlike the other doctors, like the ones on the CANORML site, for instance).

The doctor's recommendation is good for up to a year. Some doctors will give a restriction like, a 3 month or 6 month rec, and they may extend it if you see a specialist/therapist or whatnot. My rec is good for a year, and I'll have to go back to the doctor and get it renewed next April.

So if you get caught, the doctors will not back you up on your condition? is that because they dont want to get stripped of their license or just because they will not do it? and from your experience, what do you think I would qualify for as far as a term of a rec? my anxiety is not extreme and my insomnia is not extreme either as far as i know but what i know is that it bothers me constantly all day, all night when im awake. but with cannabis nothing seems to bother me like it normally would and I can go about my normal day without worry. Sound like I have a case?

I hope you see some relief from your anxiety.

Here is how to get a card, provided you have a legitimate need.
1) go to a free clinic. tell them that you are suffering from anxiety. and that you would like a prescription for anything they think will help. explain it honestly. ask for a generic. WARNING: many urban free clinics will not prescribe anxiety meds, but they do have a free "crisis center". If you are truly suffering from anxiety ( a pain i know too well) I would suggest talking to them first. drug addicts abuse free clinics, thats why they may not be helpful. If you can leave with a record of your complaint, do it. if you have a history of telling them you have anxiety and them not doing it, you can show that alone to your potdoc. they want someone else on the hook for diagnosing you.
2) go buy the generic, eat them if you want, destroy them if you dont. (what ever you do, dont combine them with alcohol
3) take that pill bottle to any potdoc and they will write you a recco same day
4) take that rec to the county office and get a Cali State MMJ ID card
5) you are bullet proof after that. The Cali police no longer have the ability to arrest you.
6) ask for heavy indicas. i think that you will find that sativa exasperates anxiety.

I can recommend medicann. I am on HealthySF, and they gave me about %40 off. Dr. Jean Tallyrand is a standup guy, that supports our community. He regularly speaks in our defense. I have had 3 dif drs, because i felt dirty inside their office. IMHO incense and bob marley music is not synonomous with me seeking real medical attention for a legitimate problem. Medicann will sit down with you, and at least pretend to care. The other pot i tried docs didnt.
