I'm on the other side of the country, so I can't be too much help! I do know that the California Norml site has a list of friendly doctors, does RI Norml does have one too? You'd think that sort of thing would be a "no-brainer"!

Could you do me a small favor? I want you to click the link in my sig and make copies of the "Arthritis" section. I'd like you to give/send it to those uncooperative docs! Maybe they might learn something!

Next, take any of the studies that look good to you, print them, and take them with you to the next doc (if NORML doesn't come through). It might better your chances! Saying something helps is one thing. Saying it helps and backing it up with scientific studies is another. :thumbsup:

California may be chaotic, but I love the permissive system here! Cannabis is good for a wide variety of medical uses- major and minor. Creating artificial criteria (laws) for who can, or cannot, use this safe herbal medicine, makes our politicians into our doctors!

Good luck in your search! I'm sure someone will know and, rather than blurt it out for LEO to see, will give you some rep and the doc's name as a comment! (Lack of a PM feature is one on the few minor faults at C.com- but I understand the reasons for the policy.)
