new and in need of guidance

[deserthealer]

whats the point of a forum where everyone says the same thing?

true that...
hey, it feels good to get a little rant on now & then. no harm intended. :smokin:

hey i didn't mean for everyone to get so defensive

I do appreciate how passionate all of you are.
I know that marijuana is a blessing for millions of suffering people,
and i do believe it should be easier to access.
I am just worried that if there is the slightest appearance that the system is easy to abuse, that lawmakers and oponnents will do what they can to make it HARDER to access then it is, even now.

you know what i'm saying?

I see your point,it's just that I'm trying to stay positive about the future of the NM program.

I also just moved to las cruces and i would love to find a doctor to give me MM, ive never been prescribed it before.. could someone help me out?

do you have any of the qualifying condition?

Hey Skydivr It is all true that your doc is not prescribing it or what not, But for me my doctors had me shove pill after pill down my throat and losing a organ and damaging the rest before they were convinced that it would benefit me and signed the paperwork. I have to renew in jan so i will be on the hunt again as well and all i am going to do is spend a whole day calling everyone my stupid insurance accepts and finding a compassionate doctor (one of my two doctors retired two days after signing my paperwork,for a completely unrelated reason).

All i can say is the squeaky mouse gets the cheese...call as many docs as you can in your area there is bound to be one.

I think you only need one dr. to do the reregistration

even for chronic pain

[alfonso2002]

i have only just recently learned that my state of new mexico has adopted a medical marijuana program. i have self medicated for years, at great risk to my freedom, and now my heart soars that there is a possibility of getting the medicine i need without being criminal about it. however since i have not ever considered that this was a possibility, i really don't know where to start. i have been doing a tremendous amount of research and it all boils down to one thing, finding the right doctor! i do not currently have a family doctor so i am pretty much starting from scratch. Q. is there any way to tell if/or find out if a particular doctor is sympathetic and understanding of medical cannabis? Q. are there any medical cannabis specialists in southern new mexico?
i read alot about people getting the "laugh-off". if this happens do you just keep finding new doctors until you find one that is sympathetic? wouldn't this become exorbitantly expensive?
i truly am lost can anyone help me?
can anyone give guidance and start me down the right path?
any and all help is greatly appreciated

what part of nm are you from? coolslayer has a good post on finding one check his posts.
