I'm 59. I went today to get a MM card. For the record, I have diabetes, neuropathy, hypertension, stage 4 kidney failure, cancer survivor, have 2 non healing wounds on my ankles, and intractable pain from extensive tissue damage from necrotizing fasciitis. Before I even got the drs office patient sheet, I was asked for 100 CASH. This is on top of the regular office visit. The Dr took 5 minutes to explain why I wasn't in enough pain and that my 15+ year opioid use for pain management probably wouldn't be needed once the wounds heal. I've been waiting 3 years for the latest rounds of them to heal!! After denying my permit, he insisted that I make another appt, although he didn't do anything at all this appt and I go to the wound center weekly.
As much as I hate to say it, it is the new CASH GRAB. $100 for a 5 minute evaluation, a $75 copay, and I got nothing except my pecker in my hand when I left. For $175, I usually get a happy ending after being screwed. Thanks Dr Austin!

That's awesome bro! Congrats! 3 years clean off heroin myself. And I know I have ranted about this before but it's such an obvious cash grab, especially in states like mine who legalize medical but you can't grow it yourself. And I also want to add, the benefits of this plant to people trying to recover from opiate addiction shouldn't be overlooked, but often are...That sucks man. Im sorry to hear that. With all of your ailments you should hace definitely been approved. They have no problem prescribing pretty much heroin, whic causes addiction and leads to heroin use.i know from experience. I have been clean for over 12 years. but they wont prescribe a natural plant that has many proven medical uses. It pisses me off that all they see is dollar signs, and dont give a damn about the people that they took a oath to help. I hope that you can see a different doctor
I'll just have to jump tru more hoops, probably pay another "Processing Fee", then if I ever get approved, another $50 to the state annually. I guess it was his whole smug attitude that he presented with. Comes into room, sits across the far side of the room, like a police interrogation, and asks why I'm there. After explaining my isssues, he proceeded to examine both wounds, said they both "look sore" and "Look Good". He apologized because in his opinion my pain wasn't quite what he wanted to see, despite my valid points and qualifying maladys. I was referred by a friend, but he is on relief and I'm sure there is more cash to be made from welfare customers...I was foolish enough to work my entire life, pay rediculos taxes and insurance premiums, and try to do things honorably. I think I would be much better off homeless.
I've been dealing with this for 3+ years with half of my Achilles Tendon being eaten away and exposed...I'll show some juicy pics if anyone wants to see em. Anyhow, he thought I should keep coming back weekly and maybe he could work with me. Since he didn't want to treat the leg wounds in the 5 minutes I was with him, there is little reason to return. I'm already being treated for the wound issues and kidney failure, etc...I don't need a blatant cash grabbing 74 year old Dr. WTF is a 74 year old surgeon doing prescribing MMJ anyhow? Oh.. maybe to supplement his failing business? 74 is pretty old for cutting delicate areas.
C'mon...I'm kind of proud of my scars and wounds. When folks ask what happened, I tell them I was surfing on Maui's North Coast and was attacked by a great white, who I fought off but got bit by it. Hey, it's a great cover story and nobody seems to question it...Bon Appetit!Please no pics. We believe you. It’s a sad story bro. I’m sorry for all the hassle and pain you’ve had to deal with. It’s not right. Find a new doctor. Get some relief bro.
So me and my wife were talking last night, and I got curious. I figured I would ask you because if I recall correctly, you're from Michigan... Do you have to be a resident of your state to buy recreational there?Please no pics. We believe you. It’s a sad story bro. I’m sorry for all the hassle and pain you’ve had to deal with.

...but I don't have enough pain. Nice.
The little string hanging out of the top was like a magicians trick. When they changed it, they pulled and it came out, and out, and out, and out...like pulling flowers from a magicians mouh. About 6 ft all together. It has healed up quite a bit but still only about 75% healed. Yum Yum!!Damn bro, thats horrible.
It's almost lunch time. I guess I can make it until next year to eat again, ha.
:puke2:that is nasty. So much for eating lunch. Dude i cant believe that they turned you down :hungover:
I know in cali you can buy recreational being from out of state. Me and my girlfriend went there a few months ago for her birthday and a dispensary was the first place we went after getting our rental car. Prices were kind of high though. I ended up meeting the owner of a dispensary right around the corner from where we were staying and he was mailing me stuff for a while. Then i started growing. I still have him mail me concentratesSo me and my wife were talking last night, and I got curious. I figured I would ask you because if I recall correctly, you're from Michigan...
