wow great.. i like it!
Eh?
I live in North Arizona and I need help.
I hurt my back in 2008 by falling of the top of a ladder and have had problems since. Then in 2009 I put my back out trying to help move a popup camper into a garage. I hurt all the time. I have been to a doctor and a chiropractor once each. The doctor just wanted to put me on pills and the chiropractor wanted me to come back on a daily basis for adjustments. He gave me one and it made the pain worse. I do not qualify for state assistance and can not afford insurance costs.
So, I only go to the doctor if I absolutely have to. That being the case I do not have medical records for three years. Can someone please help me I do not know what to do?
I do not want to be on pills all my life and I have to be able to function so I can take care of my family. I am desperate.
I will be moving to DC from CA at the end of August 2011. I will not have a doctor & limited insurance when I arrive. I have a note from my doctor and a CA Medical Cannabis Card.
I would like to know if I can use these to obtain a medical card in DC?
Unfortunately no, you cannot use your CA recommendation in Washington D.C. While D.C. does have a program on the books the only distribution system they allow is through city run dispensaries which have only recently (Oct 3rd) been allowed to submit paperwork for consideration.
I do not believe any doctors are providing recommendations at this time though considering the law (B18-622) has been on the books since 1998 they seem to finally be making some progress with the dispensary applications
