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 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.

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.

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.
