Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Flint, MI

Before I got started; I heard from a number of people that getting your medical marijuana card was difficult, that was not the experience that I had! In three short days days I learned what I had to do to qualify, schedule an appointment, met with the doctor, and sent my paperwork off to the state. Less than a month later I’m a card carrying member of the Michigan medical marijuana program.

Before I got in the car accident, I never used any sort of pain management medicine. I was proud that I could handle on my own. After the wreck, I got addicted to opiates, I felt like they were making me sick and stealing away my life. The best part about using medical marijuana is that it has allowed me to sleep deeply; before I could hardly get more than two hours of rest at a time and that made me irritable and cranky. Even spending time with my family which was the the center of my life and greatest joy became difficult, I would snap at my daughter or granddaughter and then feel awful about it. This made me want to spend more time alone, which again made me feel even worse. I’m so thankful that my son-in-law convinced me to look into trying medical marijuana, it reduced my withdrawals from the opiates when I quit and allows me manage my pain at a level I can tolerate.

Getting a medical marijuana card was easier than I could have imagined, I already had my medical records after surgery on my spine in 2013 and I lived in Beecher about seven minutes away from the clinic. When I started the process I knew that I qualified but I didn’t know how to find a doctor that would certify me. After finding GreenWay Michigan on Google, I spoke with a representative who brought me up to speed with the process and scheduled me for an appointment on my day off. When I went to meet with the doctor he was friendly and attentive, he listened to me about my past history and even new the surgeon that performed my surgery. Because I was concerned about smoking, the doctor recommended that I look into edible products and tinctures; I was relieved. I started slow with small dosages and after about a week had my pain better under control than ever before. Medical marijuana really is as good as everyone says it is, I am glad I decided to get my card.

I was tired of using so many opiates, they made me lethargic and unmotivated. I wanted to continue to watch my granddaughter after school as she grew older but my doctor kept increasing the amount of medication which I needed to take daily. I knew I needed something to change so I decided to go ahead and get my medical marijuana card. Medical marijuana has allowed me to reduce my opiate use while managing my pain more effectively. My whole family can tell the difference, I am glad I decided to look into this.
