The best chance to get a recommendation is through your neurologist, as they are able to submit a recommendation for the program. Others who can are pain specialists, some psychaitrists who are treating you for problems related to your condition. A good doctor does not charge a patient for a recommendation. Those who do are exploiting the program and making money from it and that's wrong.
If you bring up the use of mmj as an adjunct to therapy and discuss the ups and downs of it with your doctor, it's likely you will get your card.
The challenge after getting your card is finding a caregiver. We once had a website that connected patients with carregivers but the site was shut down. That's a shame.
the more we can spread the word about this site, we may come up with a better way to connect with each other.
