Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Flint, MI

After 35 years of working in a nursing home kitchen on a hard linoleum floor my all of my joints ache and my feet and hands hurt all the time. My daughter suggested I try using medical marijuana, I have used marijuana from time to time over the years with one of my husbands friends, but I never really thought of it as a medicine before. When I went to the office, the doctor told me about marijuana with a greater CBD content which would not get me nearly as “high” as what I had used previously; I was excited about that. I was able to find a caregiver who provides me with CBD marijuana and a topical salve that I apply to my feet and joints which works better than anything else I have ever tried. I would encourage people like me to give this a shot, it really works.

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.

I wasn’t really sure what to do about the pain and nausea that came along with my chemotherapy, I had heard medical marijuana could ease my symptoms but I wasn’t really sure how to use it; I knew that I didn’t want to smoke anything. After speaking with Ben my cannabis coach, I learned that I could acquire my medicine In an edible form from a local collective. I scheduled an appointment and got my medical card in Beecher, I could tell that the doctor and his staff really cared about my health and well-being, they were very encouraging. The medical marijuana has soothed my aches and pains, calmed my nausea, and improved my overall demeanor; fighting cancer is not easy but getting my medical marijuana card has truly made all the difference.

I have thought about getting my medical marijuana card since the first year it was available. I asked my primary care doctor if he would consider helping me apply for the program the same year, he made me feel uncomfortable about it and said no. I found Greenway Michigan and was scheduled to meet with a doctor who respected me and my choices, I wish I would’ve started sooner but I’m glad I finally got my card.
