Here is something I'm looking into, and I'm interested in any thoughts...
I have had a series of absolutely terrible doctors and I stopped using the medical system about 4 or 5 years ago. Our medical system that prioritizes treatment and procedures based on a person's social-economic status is largely to blame for the pain I experience. I used a clinic with a Skype doc for my pink slips and renewal. My condition is only going to get worse as I age and there is no cure. If I refuse to take pharma drugs and mmj is treating my symptoms, why do I need to subject myself to associating with quacks I don't know or trust in order to continue to get relief?
I want to argue that I have a right to self-treatment without intervention from the medical community. If I have proof of my medical condition, I say I use 10 g/day to treat it and need 49 plants to supply that, that should be enough. I am going to fill out any required HC documents using myself as 'physician' and let them explain how having a doctors' signature instead of mine own changes anything. It's about control over my own body...it's a different context, but it's every bit as much a fundamental right as a woman's choice of abortion or a person refusing treatment on religious grounds. Doctors have been given way too much control over my quality of life and I intend to take it back.
