I recently got my uncle a membership to the TCC through a good friend of mine. I admit now, i do get most of my... medication from there through my uncle. We basically share what he gets. He's not a heavy smoker, very medicinal because he suffers from MS, epilepsy..and a number of other nasties.
It's been suggested to me that i apply for a membership there for my problem with acid reflux. Throwing up on a regular basis is not fun

Personally i don't feel that i require a membership myself because i have the ability to get my ...medicine... elsewhere. I'm on prescription drugs and just feel that someone else that needs it can fill my membership spot...for now.
If i had good reason, i wouldn't hesitate to get a membership for the compassion centre.
The bigger problem is finding a doctor that will sign the application
