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.
pfunk211 Reviewed by pfunk211 on . 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
