without medical records

[pfunk211]

morning all,

i have a couple of painful reasons that i should have a medical marijuana card in colorado but haven't been to a doctor's office in my adult life. between the old injuries plaguing me and the migraines, times aren't as swell as they can be, but the places i've checked out as referral sources all require that i bring some form of history with a general practitioner documenting my conditions.
is there a way around this?! i've never been insured and have never been able to pay the doctor's fees out of pocket so i've always just dealt, but have no record of it.
hope there's help and welcome any advice.

thanks.

P

Just google around and look for someone that will prescribe "alternative" medications. I have GERD (acid reflux) and could get a script for that, but I haven't made the effort to go to a particular doc that would prescribe medical cannabis.

ideally, i'd like to find a primary physician, a real doctor with a real doctor's office, that i can go to with any of my medical concerns. i'm not old, but getting to the point in my life where visiting the doctor periodically would be in my best interest. needless to say, i would like him to be mmj friendly.
i'm not just looking for a 'hook up', in other words, so cannamed and thcf are of no benefit to me; i have no recorded medical history.
if anyone can refer me to a doctor that has a reasonable office visit fee (i'm not insured), i would greatly appreciate it.
i use the same name at hot mail.

thanks.

Sad to say the system to get a med.card is set up for a reason.If you are sick one should be going to a doctor for treament of any kind.

Like Toppjazz Said. Its so Fraudulent people don't attempt to get it and just use it and maybe even distribute it. It's set up for people who have ailments. You should have gone to a doctor for that.

that's what i'm looking for- a good doctor; someone i can trust to be my guy. i have a family history of cancer and heart problems and am at the point in my life that i need to start having that guy in my corner. i'm simply looking for recommendation for a good doctor that is known to be a supporter of the mmj movement. two birds, one stone.
my lady was referred to a doctor by a dispensary and he ended up being a shrink. wtf?! she was going for migraines....

i think why none is saying much is the way it sounds. it sounds like if u really had med"problems" and u have had them for some time as u say then there has to be a record of it somewhere.the way it sounds is as if your looking for a "swell"type of doc that would look the other way and pass u on through. thats a no no here and thats kindda the vibe your putting off or seems that way.if u really have med issues then go see any doc and get it on paper,meaning a doc won't just say yup u have this or that in a 5 min visit.he will want to run a few tests in the area of concern.then if anything is found it will be in his notes that u will get a copy of.once that is done then u just google a mmj med clinc and your good to go.

you are all high.

and why include the "middle men"? i'm going to go to a doctor that i believe in to make the right choices and allow me to do the same. if i'm paying for it out of my pocket, im going to make it count the first time. why would i give some chemical-minded, pill-industry-whipped doctor my hard earned money for him to tell me that he doesn't think marijuana is what we believe it is. then, i can take the records that i paid for the first time to a 'clinic' where i can pay some other money-hungry folks $200 so they can have a stranger browse my records and tell me what i already knew: this is going to help...
then i can drop another $90 on the state.
these dollars rack up quickly, folks.
let me state it again, for the *third* time: i am not shopping for an easy card. i am going to get a card; this is not the issue and it doesn't seem to be too difficult to do anyway.
i'm looking for a doctor that is on-board with the movement. a reputable doctor that may, god forbid, one day have to put his fingers in my butthole (as a medical necessity, of course); a doctor that isn't going to tell me that his pharmaceutical reps tell him that we're doing something wrong.
if i needed my house a different color, i'd ask 'do you know a good painter'.
get it?!
fuck it, i'll take my chances in the yellow book.

Well maybe you should start looking for a doctor huh.
I'm sure most doctors do it because they have a good patient to doctor relationship. People can't just tell you their doctors. It's all confidential.
Good luck is all I can say.

p.s Why the vulgarity? C'mon dude.
