Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Saginaw, MI

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.

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 hesitated to apply for my medical marijuana card because I didn’t know where to begin. After searching Google I found GreenWay Michigan and filled out an application not knowing what to expect. Less than 30 minutes later I received a call from a cannabis coach named Ben who explained the process and fees, leaving me a telephone number where I could reach him once I got paid the following week. I called back once I got my check and was able to schedule an appointment for the next evening. Everything happened just like he said it would at the appointment and less than a month later I received my card. I sleep so much better now that I am using medical marijuana before bed, I fall asleep quickly and best of all….stay asleep all night.

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.
