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.
