the reason i am fucked up is bcoz i am human. i smoke a lot of bud because of that, not despite of it
The doc that signs my medical permit for pot here wouldn't the first time I asked him about 10 years ago. He's from South Africa and said he worked in a mental institution there for the first 10 years as a doctor. Claimed half the patients in there were because they were driven insane from smoking pot.
I asked him he'd ever thought that maybe they were using the pot to quiet the voices in their heads and it was actually good for them.
I finally got a medical about 3 years ago from a doc out in Vernon, BC when I was out for a few weeks helping my mom move out of her big house in Peachland. The year after that doc was working at a pot clinic and I needed something from my doc here to prove I had a need. Was going back for her 90th b-day party.
When I went to see him for it he said he'd sign for my renewal so saved me the 'membership' fee of $250/yr to get it done at that clinic. The first time I had to see that BC doc twice and he signed me up for nothing. Billed my Alberta medical for the visits.
Went back last Sept and got him to sign again and give me a raise from 8g/day to 12. I think I could have got more but didn't want to seem greedy. No charge to me either both times with him. Told me I'm the only person he signs for so not to send my friends his way or he wouldn't sign no more.
I had tried half a dozen docs up here ever since the MMAR came into effect almost. Up north here all our docs are imports and don't know or care about medical pot. One I used to see took the cannabis course for doctors and started signing people up but moved. The decent ones find better jobs in a city and the crap ones stay. Got a decent one locally now and hoping he stays. Going to ask him if he'd sign for me as he's my regular doc now.
