Thoroughly Pissed Off

[bedrockbob]

I contacted the Medical MJ Evaluations Clinic in Santa Fe. We are in the process of setting up an appointment. I just hope I can find the place when I driver over to Santa Fe. It's about 4 hours from here.

Take the last Santa Fe exit..St. Francis. go to the St. Michaels exit and turn right. Go about 1/4 mile and you will be at the St. Vincent hospital (I know... lots of saints). Across the street (south) of the hospital is Butolph road. The very first right off Butolph is your turn. Look for the big flag. I beleive this will be the place you are talking about.

The Medical MJ Evaluations Clinic website.

I beleive what Coolslayer was referring to was this....

The doctor you are going to is NOT a psychiatrist, and it takes a psychiatrist to do the diagnosis. Dont get caught in a bind. The doctor you are going to will definitely give a referral for MC, bu the DOH needs a psychiatrist's diagnosis for PTSD.

If you dont have a diagnosis for PTSD in New Mexico for a psychiatrist, get one. There are several in Santa Fe. Get the yellow pages and start calling. You will find one within an hour. I wish I could tell you the name of a fellow but I just cant. I found him cold, by just picking up the phone book and calling so you can do it as well.

If you have any paper supporting your diagnosis take it with you. It will only take a couple of hours visit and he will fax your app over to the DOH.

Dont make the trip and spend the money for a referral that wont work for you. The doc you spoke of is great, but cant do the PTSD thing.

That's what I was waiting for from Utah. The person I spoke to said my Utah evaluation and diagnosis for fine. He said I didn't need a diagnosis from New Mexico. All he had to do was the MM recommendation.

I hope I'm not taking a four hour trip for nothing.

A recommendation must come from a licensed Doctor in NM who can write prescriptions.
Your file can come from another State so the local Doc can review it.

That's why I'm going to Santa Fe. My regular physician already said he will not give me a recommend for MM. I set up an appointment with this evaluation clinic to get the recommendation from their doctor.

Sam,

Wriite them a letter when you apply...Like a cover letter. Tell them if they need any information or have questions to call you. Make sure to leave good contact info. They cant really deny you a card, and they dont really want to. They just want to make certain you indeed have a qualifying condition. If you do you are riding high my friend!

Hey, and if you have a spot to grow, request a grower's permit. Being self sufficient is the only way to guarantee you have medicine when you need it.
