Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Flint, MI

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 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 have used marijuana since age 17. I have self-medicated for a number of conditions and after trying many prescription medications, marijuana seems to be the only thing that has worked. Over the years, the types of marijuana I’ve had access to has been sporadic; sometimes what I acquired worked and other times it didn’t do anything except get me high. I was hesitant at first to register with the state because I didn’t know what to expect but I have kids and I didn’t want to go to jail. Since I got my medical marijuana card, I’ve been able to choose medicine by doing research online and finding different types of marijuana with the properties required to treat my conditions. I’m glad that I registered with the Michigan medical marijuana program because I have a consistent source of quality medication that I grow for myself.

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.
