We had some Montana Care Givers in our studio this week for an on air discussion and it was impressive how intelligent and devoted they are when talking about Medical Marijuana in Montana. Check out the interview with audio here: http://kmmsam.com/medical-marijuana-discussion-with-local-caregiver/
We definitely learned a lot from them, hopefully we can spread that knowledge everywhere. Feel free to share the link. Thanks!
YMMD with that aswner! TX
I got a problem I suffer from intense Laziness, and sit around all day watching cartoons, how can I get a medical marijuana card for my ailment-please help I’m stressed and my little finger hurts I think pot would help with that too.
Fxxx off drug dealers get this shit away from our kids
by the way how about you look at the drugs that the pharmaceutical companies are feeding yours kids, so ignorant its sad.
Piss off John Brink you ignorant person. I bet you’re just fine with drugs when it comes to vicodin for your pain. Do your homework before you try to sound smart. This stuff has been used for centuries to help people.
Get Real John!!!!!!!Your kids are probably using!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s really great that people are sahnrig this information.
I wish that the (condition to be adopted by agency rule…) would be expanded upon. I have a condition that does not involve pain but that would be greatly helped by getting my medical card for this substance. Does anyone know how to approach the powers that be about other…conditions than those listed to become included??
I just became a registerd caregiver and am so tired of the high prices I am hearing people are charging. You shouldn’t have to pay more than the cost to grow in order to fill better. I haven’t heard of anything regulate what can be charged. If anyone know of something new or is looking for a new caregiver please email she69@msn.com
what site would you go to, to find out about your medical marijiana card.
Yes, there is a background check in the state of Montana to become a caregiver.
