My family, especially my sis, who's an attorney, is worried about my medical use for bipolar, paranoia, and anxiety. They're not worried about the actual use, but rather my getting caught. My sis says that cases constantly come up of people simply getting caught with possession, not even necessarily growing. They plead that they use it for medical purposes and even though it's now legal in my state for medical, if they do not have a medical card, they get the regular sentence with apologies from the judge.
I'm not worried about not getting approved. If I don't get approved, C'est la vie. I just have no clue how to go about finding a doctor, since it's illegal for doctors in our state to advertise the fact that they will prescribe for certain people. I have asked three doctors that I currently see if they prescribe and none of them do. One was my gastroenterologist, since certain strains show promise in alleviating esophagitis and GERD (acid reflux disease) having both, my psychiatrist, and my spinal specialist (for 2 herniated discs in my lower back). They were not offended, but they said they don't prescribe it to any of their patients for any reasons.
I'm just curious as to how anyone else might have gone about finding a doctor that would prescribe in their state when only medical mj was allowed (or if medical mj is still the only thing allowed) with the same rules against doctors advertising that they prescribe.
Thanks.
