Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Flint, MI

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.

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.

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.

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.
