Post 3: My journey into medical marijuana

So, with my research done, health reasons, my desire to live a cleaner life, and age I must say is a factor, i decided it was time to get a medical marijuana card. But how do I go about it? I’m a pretty private person.

I really didn’t want to have my medical records shipped from my primary doctor to the new one. But it had to be done. No more hiding. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Every single person that uses this wonderful plant does so for a reason. A seemingly safer alternative to so many other things.

Anyway, I made an appt to be seen by the new doctor. Mid day so I went on my lunch break. I was way too nervous. What if they don’t see the issues that I feel?

Well it went pretty smooth. It was a female doctor and once I explained that I had already been using marijuana to self medicate and my methods, she gave me so great suggestions centered around my specific concerns.

She gave me my approval. I paid my fees and left. One more email and I’m a card carrying legal marijuana citizen. Now what?
