Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Saginaw, MI

My father’s Alzheimer’s was getting worse and I really was not sure what to do, his doctors said that there was nothing more to do except keep him safe and comfortable. I was worried because I am a single mom with two small children, it was getting harder to care for my father while also making sure that my children were safe. Some days dad was calm and present, other days the agitation was so bad I would leave bruised both physically and mentally, concerned about the man that I loved who was unaware of the results of his actions. I saw a documentary about how medical marijuana oil could help reduce agitation and induce periods of calm behavior in people with Alzheimer’s disease. I took my father to the appointment not really sure what to expect, the doctor explained to me that my dad could use indigestible forms of medical marijuana which would stimulate his appetite and potentially both calm his agitation and slow the decline of the disease. Since my dad got a medical marijuana card; his weight has remained constant, he is more comfortable and less aggressive towards me and the home healthcare nurse.

I saw a story on the news that medical marijuana could potentially help with inflammation and pain, the problem was I had no idea how to get a card. There was a lot of information online about the Michigan medical marijuana program but no one to explain to me how I could register, I contacted Greenway Michigan and they did an excellent job of explaining the process and introducing me to a doctor.

I have never really been someone to go to the doctor for my back pain because I don’t want to go under the knife or to use pain pills, so I figured what would be the point. While attending class at Saginaw Valley State University I spoke with a classmate about a place right up the street on Bay road where he was able to meet with a doctor on an evening after class. I asked for more information and he just gave me the phone number for GreenWay Michigan. I called and spoke with Ben who set me up for an appointment in less than a week. The office was more professional than I had imagined it would be, the visit was quick and easy, and they had resources available so that I could find medicine right away. I am definitely glad I decided to go this route, my pain is manageable and I still feel like myself.

My aunt got her medical marijuana card through GreenWay Michigan and told my wife and I about the experience at dinner the following evening. I applied online around 11 PM that night and received a call before 10 am the next day; in less than 15 minutes I had an appointment scheduled for the following Thursday. It was all just as easy as my aunt said it would be and I now have my card and have started growing my medicine.
