Well, I've decided to get on the registry now that the Feds are directed not to prosecute. So, this week I've been calling a few of the places advertised in Westword that can offer doctor referrals/recommendations. I'm trying to find the place that is the most legitimate/honest and the cheapest. I guess those are the things that are most important to me because I think there are a lot of shady people in the dispensary business!!

I called a few places that just didn't seem very professional at all (green medicals). I understand they're probably taking calls left and right, so I'm sure they're worn out. But in this business I really don't want to deal with people who don't seem entirely on the up and up. Doesn't anyone worry about writing down your SSN and putting it in these people's hands!!! Fuck, that's not giving me a good feeling, but I don't think there's any way around it?

So, anyway, I was trying to decide between Green Docs and Herbal Remedies. I had a good conversation with the guy at Green Docs and he was very, very helpful. I had seen a good review for Herbal Remedies in this forum and the girl was nice enough on the phone, but seemed a little rushed. And being rushed, she forgot to mention to me that it was $100 more for a doctor evaluation if you chose your own caregiver!! Also, she didn't tell me that it would be 1.5 weeks before they could get me an appt! On the flipside, when I talked to Green Docs, he was very helpful. He clearly explained that if I chose a specific caregiver co-op as my caregiver then the doctor evaluation would cost $50, otherwise if I chose my own it would be $200. Ultimately, I decided to go to Herbal Remedies for a few reasons: feedback on this forum, location, thought it'd be quicker, and they were both the same price anyway since I was going to select my own caregiver.

Well, after going to Herbal Remedies I found out that it was going to be $300 for me instead of $200 since I wanted to select my own caregiver. And it was going to be 10 days until I could get in. Well I wish I would've gone to Green Docs because I think it would've been sooner and it would've been $100 cheaper. And I'd probably feel better about my personal info...

Anyway, this is a lesson. Make sure you ask a lot of questions and how the fee structures may be altered by caregiver status.

Peace,
