You're better off convincing your current doctor as to the need for writing the rec. Any reasonable doctor, presented with current information should have no problem writing a rec. My doc resisted, until I told him I was sick and tired of taking vicodin or suffering. I presented information from a number of studies and discussed it with him. I took a cut in my vicodin prescription and was given a rec as an "alternative painkiller". At my last visit my doc actually asked if I was able to get meds, since he started following the NM situation. I still have a good supply of prescription medication I can take when I can't use my alternative.

I agree with this opening a place when just anyone can come in defeets the purpose of it being a medication. I suffered for two years of takes narcotics lost a organ due to it and everytime i asked about my docs shot me down. Then finally after two years i finally one day got the strength to say enough and i told them that cannabis worked and he finally saw that and signed my paperwork. Im not saying that you have to suffer like i did for 2 years but stick with your doctor that already knows your issues and what he has done and everything else. Let him/her know that your not just some druggie looking for a fix you are a sick paitient that needs the right medication. If we start giving cards out to any person off the street that claims they are in pain then there will never be enough medication for the people that really do need it. We think there is a problem now what is going to happen when you are up in full force and giving out 30 cards or more a day?
