[palerider7777]

3 office visits @ 90 + $ each and having to wait between each visit hardly seems quicker than what i said.why wait till you move there then have to wait more for all the appt. to get legal when if done the way im saying b4 u move have all your records faxed and rdy to go.it don't matter really i was just trying to say the guy some time thats all.so im an idiot for that?

palerider7777 Reviewed by palerider7777 on 07-27-2009. without medical records 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 Rating: 5

I hate kids that think they know everything been there done it and you do not.

Thats quite a stereotype Jazz. What about the "kids" that are very knowledgable on subjects that other kids couldn't even contemplate. I don't think that you should base your opinion of youth off of one.

Kids are kids,been to war? seen anyone die in your hands? worked 60 to 100 hr s aweek.paid off school loans? house payments ?car payments? We all have to grow in life,life teaches us all alot,day by day we all learn.16 you are just starting out,we all at that young age wanted to be treated as adults,that takes many yrs ...

It doesn't matter how old someone is. They should be treated with the upmost respect. I'll agree with you that I haven't been to war, No one has died in my hands, I haven't payed off school loans and I haven't worked a 60 hour week. But it doesn't mean I won't. All I'm asking is that you don't judge a book by its cover. Kids are kids. I will give you that, and yes I am a kid. I'm not asking to be treated like an adult with adult privledges but to be treated like a person. You can't simply hate the youth because of one. You just have to pick out the good ones that know what they are doing, Where they are going in life and how to act.

that dude is just blowing smoke.they talk about "kids" and yet they act like 1 by insulting people.who's really the 10 year old? i know they are not kids but in fact act like them. it's funny i think, they belittle and throw a fit over a simple post then when you defend yourself your called a kid?

btw i have worked over 100+ hrs a week for most of my life and tax statements to prove it. i was raised by a marine that spent 3 years in nam "67,68,69" and made it back home. does it bother me if these guys whine and cry and moan...naw i hope the rest of colorado is not like this.

im from the south and this type of talk is fine on a forum but in person stuff like this would'nt fly.

If a patient does not have medical records they will create a relationship with one of there 4 physicians on staff with 3 visits, with the 3rd visit the patient receives their card.

I just checked out the website you recommended and i'm almost floored; the point of my trying to find a legitimate doctor is ultimately to save money and to obtain peace of mind concerning my health at the same time.

the first thing i saw when i went to the page is a big pot leaf right in the corner and their mission statement:
"GrassRoots Medical Clinic was founded to establish strong personal doctor-patient relationships amongst Colorado residents who would benefit from the use of medical marijuana."

your 'clinic' charges $320 for the first visit and $160 for each subsequent visit. just for a mmj card, we're talking $640 for that aspect alone, plus state fees and paying for your meds and they are focused on the marijuana trade as their singular base.

i don't understand how i'm begin confused; i am not trying to get a card, necessarily. i am trying to get a doctor; not a marijuana clinic, a doctor. i would prefer that this doctor be willing to sign a medical marijuana recommendation so that i don't have to pay him, pay another clinic and then pay the state. does this make sense?!

i'm fine with building rapport with this doctor and don't expect him to write a recommendation in the first five minutes that i am in his office. as a matter of fact, i would be concerned that, if my doctor obviously cared so little about my health to push me right through, we would not be the right fit. i want someone who is going to take that extra time to make sure that i'm taken care of. i want my doctor to bitch at me for not eating well or exercising enough, not just someone interested in copping my $650 and sending me on my way. i also don't want to go to one doctor and have to pay $25 to get my records and go to another clinic to pay another $100 to $200 to get recommended to have mmj.

so, if anyone would like to refer me to a reputable primary care physician who also has the sense to stand behind marijuana as a beneficial tool against pain, i would love to hear from you.

lmao i tried to tell you, and i get called all kinds of names for it so go fig. just a min ago i was a dumb fuck now you are starting to see what i was saying about how much money you would have to spend just to get them to sign off for you. why 3 visits? you know how much it's gunna cost me at the clinc i found? 200 total and im out the door. i tried to tell you the quickest way to go about this and for some reason you don't want to listen to me so oh well.

another thing is i tried calling the place he sent you to and everytime i called to get info on it all i get was a pre recorded message. i left a message and no one has called me back yet. idk if i'd want to deal with a place that i can't even get ahold of. AGAIN i'll say it AGAIN yes there maybe a doc out there that will be mmj friendly but i don't think that would be the best route.alot of them still look down upon it.

$200 and you're out the door, but you came in the door with medical records that you already paid for.....

you paid your primary physician to create those chart notes for you initially, right?! you also had to pay your doctor's office for those records, right?! then you paid a clinic $200 to review those records you already paid for, so, in essence, it cost you a lot more than $200. so, i think *you* have missed *my* point.

your way:

go to a doctor and establish medical history. without insurance, $150 a trip.
get records from doctor's office: $25
go to mmj clinic to have records reviewed: $200
state fee: $90

my way:
go to doctor. establish history. discuss mmj. without insurance, $150 a trip.
state fee: $90

i just saved myself $225 by skipping the referral and can talk to my 'mmj-friendly' doctor about any medical problems i should ever encounter, be it kidney stones, heart health, swine flu......

why pay a clinic $200 to do what your doctor can do for the price of a normal office call?!

in my opinion, anyone that would willingly come off of $225 for nothing is a fool, regardless if their sentence structure and grammar were whack and their advice bad....
