Well why don't you give them a call yourself >>> as herb is already legal for me.. perhaps things have changed and yes your right there are very specific rules but I still have this info and it says chronic pain. It also says you don't need to go to a specialist anymore and that there are 3 catagories and catagory #1 and #2 are now joinded I believe.. peace out Headband707

Headband I don't doubt you know your Sh!t but it does make sense that chronic pain isn't a diagnosis and is just a symptom. Now obviously HC wouldn't believe anyone who just walks in and claims they have chronic pain and they'd need some sort of diagnosis for what causes said pain... Would like to see if they have in fact joined the two categories now though. Definitely an informative thread, and I appreciate the feedback! Now my friends in the process of being tested for MS so I was hoping that with such a condition it wouldn't be AS difficult for me to get a legal caregiver license but by the sounds of it....it isn't going to be easy

Yes it usually is and you take pain pills for a reason and chronic pain is one of those reasons. Remember that you need to go back every year and get this done by the doc over and over.HC doesn't believe anyone who walks in so your doctor has to say you have chronic pain and your records have to support it.Whenever you go into a doc's office always get a copy of your record then and there. Ppl in chronic pain are usually in it for a reason and if they can't alleviate that pain and choose to use cannabis then so be it. Our medical system would rather you take their pills. Now if you were to say to the doctors we will give you a vacation to Hawaii for every 100 patients you sign up for medical cannabis . They would be lined up at the door lol..I'm not telling anyone it's easy because it's not and it's our doctors that make it difficult and for this they should truly be ashamed of themselves and throw their oath out the window. Luckily their are ppl still helping out their and I'm thankful for them lol.. Don't give up as it does work out and if I can help out I will peace out Headband707

I understand what you are saying bro but this list has nothing at all to do with a Cat 1 exemption, like nothing at all... It may help convience a GP to sign for a Cat 2, with a specialist's report (which is still indeed needed) but this list has nothing to do with Health Canada... Their is a major difference in joining a medical club and getting licensed via MMAR... There is still 2 categories, which can only change via legislation. I have no idea where you are getting your info bro but it is not coming from HC... I too am legal but still need to submit my renewal papers every year...
I am honestly not quite sure what you are arguing...
MJ 51 - If your buddy has MS, even probable MS with spasticity then he can qualify for Cat 1, with you being his Designated Grower, You will need a criminal record check done that you will submit with his application and section G or something... They make it dounting but it is doable, I did it... Good luck

No one ever said that you can not be licensed for Chronic Pain, in fact I SAID I was first licensed for Chronic Centralized Pain Syndrome, which is Chronic pain with is caused by the Central Nervous System... I was licensed as a Cat 2 exemptee and needed a report from my pain management specialist ( who is a neurologist who specialize's in neurological pain).
After I recieved an updated diagnosis' of MS, I reapplied instead of renewed to Cat 1, I only required a Diagnosis of MS with spasticity, no specialist report...
There are nemerous types of chronic pain, from tooth pain, to migraines, to numerous pain syndromes, these are all different and to just lump them to together and say that all of them even qualify for a Cat 2 would be misleading but to say that they all qualify for cat 1 is kinda crazy... Wishful thinking is great but the law is the law.

Bro one thing I'm not agruing lol and I do know one is the club and Cat #1 and #2 is different then the club lol bra ..
I put that there to show ppl where this starts lol.. It falls under the whole chronic pain thing lol..
I get my info from the clubs and Marjuana News. They have also hired a bunch of new ppl over at HC to help out how shitty they have been.They also put out a paper to the doctors telling them that cannabis wasn't so bad afterall lol.peace out Headband707
lo haha looks like severe pain is a symptom in cat 1, just like me and my spinal cord / brain injury, lol d
