I went to an appointment tues. 9/7 w/ Dr. Eve Elting in T or C and she gave me the recommendation I needed (painful peripheral neuropathy..associated w/ my spinal cord injury). I sent in the paperwork the same day and am now waiting on the approval of the Health Department. I know they have 30 days to reply but does it usually take that long? And does anyone know the approval/denial ratio to applicants? Also another thing that is kind of troubling is many posters say that producers are out of product. Where do I get meds if this is the case? I also applied to grow my own ..it was free so i thought what the heck.:hippy:

That's for sure,BH.

Hang in there CosmicScorpio,

If your doctor signed off on your paperwork, your medical records speaks for your condition. The cannabis producers are overloaded with patients, and simply cannot keep up with demand being limited to 95 plants. The good news is that there are pending applications with the DOH for new dispensaries, and hopefully they will be approved soon.

The MMJ world is a long strange trip with many ups and downs, like my avatar. When your card arrives by mail, with a list dispensaries that is just the beginning. You are lucky to be in an area where delivery is available and can have it shipped to you. Where I live out in the boonies Portales, its a 4 hour drive, and not worth the cost of the drive for a 1/2 ounce ration.

I applied for and received a grow license, my first crop is maturing and ready for harvest in a few weeks. Until then nothing but politically correct pharmaceuticals are available to deal with the pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Stay positive, and be happy you should have a card in a few weeks.

Thanks Willie,Hash. Being from Indiana which is a pretty rural place..I got to see what rural REALLY is on the drive from Abq to TorC..more like isolated..but beautiful. And PC pharms are what i've been taking for years and years..I have a liver lab coming up and I'm not looking forward to it. Luckily I try to ration my pills because I'd be sick over the toilet if i took as much as docs wanted me to take. Thanks for your input!:hippy:

Hey CS:
Good luck with your tests. I have been under Doctors orders for monthly blood tests, because I flunked the last ones for anemia. What way this is going who knows, I hope its just related to the meds and not something new.
Take care of yourself, from the sound of your medical case, help is on the way for you. Feel free to contact me anytime my contact information is on my profile page.
