It's cannada. I think the worst you'll get if caught is 15 minutes in time out and no recess at lunch for a week.

 

[chongsbuddy]

You shouldn't offer advice if you don't know the laws...that could get someone in trouble.

OP...Check this forum, there is a thread which details what you need to do.

you can get med clearance for any ailment as long as your doc signs the forms. if u dont have a dr. that will sign let me know. there are a few in toronto that will sign if u grease their palm....

Hmm, interesting... I'd hope there aren't any crackdowns on this.

I also have depression and anxiety. Been off work for 2 years, mostly on disability, now about to try and get more disability payments.

Yeah, B2 is possible if I could get a doc to sign.

I asked my shrink for his views on MJ the other day, and he feels it's fine on an ongoing basis for cancer, terminal illness etc. He also has no problem with someone doing it recreation-aly here and there.

But chronic use he says can cause dementia. And he's never signed such forms before so I didn't even bother asking, just so long as he signs my insurance forms. Insurance company unfortunately knows about my pot usage and shook their fingers at me, LOL.

I will feel out my GP next visit, but I doubt she signs any such forms.

I too am tired of the paranoia of outdoor growing. I suffered from 3 days of randomly timed pot chopper harassment. They flew right over my 3 plants in the forest several times. I have no idea if they didn't see them or didn't care for just a few. But they seemed as if to enjoy buzzing properties to see if anyone panics and runs to their plants.

So now I'm gonna be stealth cabinet growing inside. MUCH safer IMO.

And the bill S-10 or whatever with mandatory minimums isn't law yet, but if it passes the senate, 6 plants gets 6 months, sometimes 9 months mandatory. One pot cookie would get you 18 months mandatory.

I'm very sad for what has happened to our Canada if this thing passes.

i sent mine july 7 they say ten mos...

 

[nightcrawler]

just got mine this week, was abobut 7 months wait

U would need your Fam doctor to refer u to a specialist, then have the specialist wright a report on what your symptoms are and how cannabis helps u and benefits you as a med user. Then your doctor fills out his section of the forms, you sign yours. It is about a 6-8 month wait know in Canada after u send in your application. so get a lawyer if u want to start growing before u get it, make sure ur forms are correct an accurate, so it wont delay the process. Also every time u call health Canada they delay ur forms processing for 3 biz days. MAKE SURE YOUR HAVE A LAWYER THAT SPECIALIZES IN POT ONLY CASES, FOR EXAMPLE RON MARZEL(google or yellow pages). I applied but got rejected because i didn't have the referral from the specialist, im getting my refferal soon, also i have a lawyer. GET EDUCATED DONT THINK THIS IS EASY AND A CAKE WALK IT'S NOT!

 

[mr noodles]

if you can afford private clinics , dont be shy and ask how much it cost for signing the mmar paper...the private doctor are pure cash whore and they are greedy....they sign for cash $

i cant afford them but they exists all over canada , show the $ and you will get the card period . in the public system you will have to show money too ...its like that in my province .

its brutal but its the truth .



this is sad but true .

 

[CareFreeLivin]

Anyone know where to look in AB for doctors that are more lenient and open to marijuana as medicine? PM if you can provide any info...

Thanks.

This is the sad part, someone with the things you've been diagnosed with(even just one) should have the right to choose this medicine. Man this place is all kinds of fucked up, hopefully you can find some help. Maybe headband can help you out with some info...

Okay yesterday I didn't have time to answer Jarff post and I have been thinking about how truely awful it is for this guy and he goes to his SO_CALLED doctor with all these problems and the tool has the gaul to tell him he doesn't quailify!! are you shitting me!!!!! On what planet ? and how much is this guy supposed to suffer before this doc says it's okay? These doctors are like massacists wanting to see you suffer as long as it's not them it's all good. Well enough is enough and I have heard enough from thousands upon thousands of Canadians saying the exact same thing. These are our doctors and these are the guys we pay for what ,to do what? Give us pills that don't work and shove us out of their office and never listen to us and treat us like garbage?They say this is the best country in the world lol Well I beg to differ ,, try being sick ,,what a scam we get to pay for. No wonder ppl go rouge lol..Well Jarff ,,you not only qualify you do in spades and you need another doctor I have sent you the clinic to hurry things along for you but I would still say get yourself a better doc then the asshole you have now bro ..
