Are there any doctors in RI that anyone can reccomend to me so I can get my MMJ card. I have a debhilitating condition, but my regular Internal Medicine Dr. doesnt believe in using Marijuana. If you cant post the name, can you possibly Message me with a few names? Thanks everyone..

is this RI board active?

doesn't seem to be. I can't help anyone find a doctor but i can help with some things. I am a MMJ Caregiver and have success in cultivation. So far

i'd suggest you attend a community meeting of RIPAC, a patient advocacy
group here in RI that helps patients and caregivers.

they don't recommend Dr's per se, but i'm sure you will be able to get a list
of mmj doctors from them, unofficialy at least.

here is a link to their site where you will find much info that will be helpful.

RIPAC: Medical Marijuana in Rhode Island

btw, the RI board will be as active as we make it.

hey,

thanks to you 2 for posting. I'm trying to figure out how to email u private, but I'm not all that computer savvy and I'm goofy already (pre-mmj, ha-ha! :} ). I found the RIPAC page, thanks. And I know someone who would be interested in becoming my caregiver since I am, well... I'm me.

could one of you figure out how to email me either to the inbox here or on y@h0o, so I can figure out how to reply back?

The article from the Providence journal which
"Galaxy" posted was very interesting. "Plant manager", that's a good title!

The info to the noobs, like me, from "justanoterbozo" is very helpful!

Just another shout out - thanks for adding me to ur "friends", you nice person!

Will try to figure out how to do more for myself on this board, and out in the world and quite being such a little panty-waste....ha!

Thanks again, will try to keep up,

"helps"

you're welcome, i'm glad to help you as others helped me, that's what it's all
about, sharing the love, lol.

anyway, this site doesn't have private messaging so no way to do it here.
keep in mind that your security should be uppermost in your mind until you are
completely legal, as i am not. my doctors all work for the federal government
so no recommendations from them i'm afraid.

in any event, if you have any questions you should just ask them, there are many
fine people here who go out of their way to help others so any questions you ask
will be answered from many different perspectives.

also, you should consider growing your own rather than finding a caregiver.

as a lifelong smoker (i started blazing in '68) and a relatively new grower myself
(2 years, approx.) i can't stress enough how much love you get from
the growing itself, for me, that has become even more relaxing and enjoyable
than smoking.

and it really isn't all that hard, if you can grow tomato's in your back yard,
you can grow weed in your closet.

here are a few pics of some of the buds i grew in my closet under some CFL's.

Hey Randy, and everyone else.. I live in Cranston RI, id love to get the name of that Doctor, My primary thinks im a looser for even asking. It's not right that it is this hard. I have 2 herniated disc L4-5 and L5-S1, both compressing nerves down my leg, needless to say I have chronic back, hip, ass, and leg pain every single day. My primary will throw me a Vic a day tho with no promblems, go figure, but marijuana oh no! Its ridiculous. Hes also given me adivan for anxiety, but god forbid I smoke a joint, or eat a brownie or something... I think between the chronic pain, anxiety, and the constant stomach cramps I get from all the stress should warant me a Card... Any comments out there? also my email address is bxavier@cox.net, someone send me the name of a Dr that has a clue, that one in Cranston woulD be great, but ill take any. I shouldnt have to suffer AND I dont want to break the law just to manage my pain naturally.

Kind of grumpy just now , been through the mill with the medical offices and facilities.

I would like to go to one of these meetings - can't drive myself just now.

( Trying to manage this "control panel", managed to upload a pic, but it did not add my friends...?

Thanks for the bump,
help!

high man, sorry i can't pick you up myself as i am vehicleless.

anyway, here is a link to RIPAC's website and if you click on the 'Contact Us'
button, then fill out the form and let them know your situation, they will either
come pick you up themselves, or arrange for another member to come get you.

please disregard my previous post as it is worthless because naturopathic doctors can't prescribe medicine in RI.

thanks,
Bighig

send me a message, i can help

There is no way to send messages on here.... As for RIPAC.... I went to 2 meetings. Met Jesse, Joanne, and Stephen..... Got the names of a bunch of Dr's. Tried ALL of them, and I actually have a qualifying condition..... and Im still right where I started.... NOWHERE... I am pretty aggravated with the whole thing, so if anyone has any thoughts, Id love to hear them....

Cannabis Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News

Dude I have been on these boards for a while and finally got up the nerve to ask 4 help getting a Dr as I definitely qualify according to the rules. I think you are very compassionate and helpful the world needs more of this.
Thanks!

If anyone out there can assist with a Dr recommendation please help.
God Bless you all.

Man I hear you have been to a few mtgs while the peeps r cool I need a Doc not a meeting if meetings cured pain we would not need MM.
