Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Saginaw, MI

Getting my medical marijuana card was just as easy as Benjamin said it would be. I met with the doctor in a shared space on highway 84 and I was completely satisfied with the overall level of professionalism. The staff made it easy for me by helping to complete all of the registration paperwork for the state and the office manager even mailed my application for me. I am glad I scheduled an appointment with GreenWay when they called, I feel much better.

I was in a motorcycle accident in early spring 2012 which broke most of the bones in my lower body and did extensive soft-tissue and muscle damage. Before the accident I smoked marijuana from time to time and knew that it was great for de-stressing and relieving pain. After I got out of the hospital I was depressed because of the nearly 70 pounds I had gained since the accident and the way that all of the prescription medication made me feel. I had some marijuana at my house and one day I decided to use it for the first time in nearly a year, I could not believe how much better I felt that day and the few days afterwards until I ran out. I called a friend who had helped me out in the past and was not able to contact him, this made me even more upset because I knew something that worked well for me and I had no way to get it. I decided to set up an appointment to get my medical marijuana card so that I would have access to medicine without needing to rely on anyone. Now over 3 years later, I’ve lost the weight that I gained and I’m back riding my bike. My new hobby is now growing medical marijuana for myself, my father-in-law, and several other patients who were in a position like I was after the wreck; in need and without anyone to help them. I can definitely say that getting my medical marijuana card changed my life.

The thing that most surprised me about medical marijuana was the fact that I didn’t have to smoke it. I am 83 years old and I’ve never smoked anything, when my daughter told me that I should get my medical marijuana card so that I could keep my vision I said absolutely not. We went back and forth for two years, until I was very close to losing sight in both eyes and depressed because of it. In 2014, my daughter visited Colorado on a business trip and while she was there she visited a legal dispensary and learned about the different types of medical marijuana. When she came home she told me that there were simple ways that I could consume marijuana in lozenges and a liquid form called tincture, at this point I decided that I’d give it a try. I got my medical marijuana card and my daughter found a caregiver who provided tincture for me to use daily, it took about a week to figure out the right dose and now almost a full year later I still have my vision and it has helped a number of my other health conditions as well.

Unless you have had cancer and undergone chemotherapy you really cannot understand what it is like using medical marijuana to relieve nausea during and after chemotherapy. What a lot of people don’t know is that once you stop taking chemo, the worst symptoms come upon you during the weeks that follow as your body recovers and detoxifies. I was able to use Rick Simpson oil, a concentrated form of marijuana you can eat or cook with as an effective medicine which helped me keep an appetite, reduce nausea, sleep, and feel better mentally on some of my hardest days. Fighting cancer is the most testing thing I have ever done, I CANNOT imagine what it would’ve been like without using medical marijuana. Today I am healthy and my cancer is in remission, I would recommend to anyone who is fighting cancer and having a hard time; give this a try.
