Settle in because I've got some shit to fling oooooooooohhhhh boy. SO I had been to this dispensary 3 times previously since my last post in this thread. Yesterday I drop in to pick up some meds and they pull me aside to revoke my membership saying my medical documentation isn't valid. Even after having been there 3 times, and despite NEVER having an issue with the letter of recommendation before over the last 2 years(Do no Harm Clinic)
They start going on about how i need to have a doctor prescribe a set amount per day ( My letter asks for exemption under the consideration of Section 53) My condition is clearly stated in plain type font right there(MS). I called the clinic and the do no harm clinic and their awesome receptionist took the time to talk to them. After her chat with this dispensary she tells me shes never had this happen EVER with their letters. Fair enough, I pry a little more into their reasoning, they tell me they modelled their business on the LP model, and go on about well Ottawa Is a conservative city blah blah. Basically they haven't a god damn clue as to how things work.
So I left very pissed off at the complete lack of logic and knowledge on their part, but mostly because it takes me 3 buses and 1hr 30 min ONE way to get there. Today i said fuck and booked myself for a last min Dr appointment with my GP in hopes to finally persuade him into prescribing Medical Cannabis to me finally. Long story short we had a debate over a bunch of topics on the matter and I swayed his decision. He told me to have the dispensary fax over the form and he'd fill it out and fax it back to them. All good right?
NOPE
Called the dispensary and give them the update. They then inform me that they have NO fax machine and that I'd have to fucking bus out that way to drop it off in person. I've reminded them of my condition and how Id rather not fucking spend 3 hours of my day just getting there and back for fuck all. Staples was suggested............................I just fucking hung up, like WTF They are NOT accommodating to patients in my eyes. If you want to be taken seriously as a medical business in this industry get your shit together and get a fucking fax line. It's like $20/month. Now I have a sneaking suspicion that they wont let me get more than my daily amount at a time.(Dr said he'd sign for 3g/day)
If for whatever reason they try to tell me I cant get more than 3g per visit I'm going to have a full blown fucking meltdown and yell at the fuckers till they cry. When you get a prescription does the pharmacy only dispense your meds on a daily basis? They've demonstrated to not have a fucking clue as to what the ins and outs of the medical cannabis industry.
Sorry for the rant but I get fucking fumed at how many god damn hoops I have to jump through when Ive ALREADY been there before 3 times no issues and I am now expected to run across town on a whim . They brushed it off as if it was fuck all.
