I am from Maine, where mmj has been legalized by referendum. The gov has instituted a committee to get the particulars like dispensaries, guidelines on prescribing mmj, etc. ready for legislature. The first mistake was to put the whole mmj program into Dept. of Human Services hands, but thats not the worst part, it appears that the laws will be overly restrictive, and any doctor I’ve talked to say they will not prescribe it even if it is legal.
I am distressed with the whole situation because I’ve used mj for 30+ years to help with a number of conditions. When I was 15 I was in an accident where I crushed one leg above the ankle, the foot, broken hip, other knee and collarbone. Over time this has left me with arthritis, pain in ankle, hip, low back and subsequently depression and anxiety from the constant pain.
I was recently piss tested and am now denied any controlled substance “forever” by the director of the “health access network” I am forced to be in due to lack of choices in my rural area. I face 2 upcoming surgeries and was even told that they will not provide me with aftercare for any pain meds.
Now more than ever I rely on mj. I’ve got to get a good Dr. Anyone got any feedback?
