Getting a Medical Marijuana Card
Thanks for sharing.
As for your friends, grow some tuff skin! They must and need to understand that you NEED this for a serious condition that seriously affects the quality of your life!! Talk to them, explain it is your medication, no different than Penicillin or Insulin!! You wouldn't share that and they wouldn't want it! It is illegal to share and you could lose your medication if caught or turned in, most likely. It is not right for them to make you feel bad to get something you may enjoy, because you really NEED it! You are already feeling bad. Maybe tell them, it is a problem for you and you don't even have your card (or whatever you do in Canada) and you feel bad about using it for your medication and not a party treat. Ask them for their help. Let them know that emotions have a lot to do with why you need this and you need their support to feel good about it and have medication when you need it without guilt!
I hope you can talk to them candidly and let them know. However, the need goes both ways. You shouldn't use theirs, either. You run out, tuff! Haven't seen a post here about a Canadian not getting enough for treatment! If it turns out you don't need a lot and start backing up some extra-freeze it in a jar! make sure no moisture gets in. Check out the threads here to see what the pros here recommend for storage. I think I read, Freeze somewhere, but you can ask how to store it long term in that section. Get too much, a party would seem fun, but inappropriate, as give an inch you may give up your needed medicine in the future. Reward them in an appropriate manner for the support they have given you--when it works out!
People that have a medical need will and do understand. I don't use any from another patient: Unless they grow and have plenty and it seems fine. If I know they are paying $400.00 an ounce or whatever, I don't touch it-I buy my own and they should too. Or do without, as most patients would. It is irritating to not have it when you need it, believe me! If it is my supplier, collective or whatever, and they are giving me tastes of different kinds-that is business and they get it mine. Price's force most to grow, here. And it is a nice hobby to replace more difficult ones.
It will be interesting to follow you through this process. Learn the Canadian law on it! And see you get better and feel better about it, no shame no guilt and supportive friends and family! Anyway, hope to hear more from you.
You sound like you think you'll have problems getting a doc to treat you properly, any reason why (other than your age). Sounds like a no brainer to me! At least, you can Dr. shop until you get it, remain determined. People mostly do not understand migraine's and the ill feeling discomfort. And how long it can and will last. It is very misunderstood. Make the first doc understand! Write everything down with your symptoms-so there is no misunderstanding with the Dr.! Since you've taken meds etc. and basically are uncontrolled, you need it and they surely will recognize it, I hope!
You want to write things down, as if you have a minor migraine when you go in, you may want to sit silently or skip things. When you have a migr. it is difficult to think and communicate clearly! Be prepared. The nausea is sometimes so bad you don't even want your mmj, force yourself-I do and bam-it goes away! Oddly, I can really get the flu and eat, but a migraine nausea, I want nothing to do with anything! Well, maybe a nice head, neck and upper back massage! And of course, I am sure you've been taught relaxation technics and if you haven't been to 'pain clinic' ask to go. At your age, use everything you possible can for resource's for long term help. And I'll pray this is healed for you! PR :jointsmile:
Lots of luck to you and hope you become painfree with peace!
