How Do I Find a Physician to Recommend Medical Marijuana?

As time and the Medical Marijuana movement progress, the ability to find a physician in your area who is comfortable with recommending Medical Marijuana as an alternate form of pain relief becomes easier.

Medical Marijuana Group has no direct affiliations with any physician or medical group. The best practice is often to consult your general practitioner, as he/she will know the most about your conditions/symptoms and would be most qualified to issue such a recommendation. However, many patients fear that having a conversation with their doctor about Medical Marijuana. Most physicians, unless under the umbrella of a larger medical group that issued specific instructions not to recommend Medical Marijuana should at least be open to the discussion if it is in the best interest of the patient.

Individuals should be upfront with their physicians and speak frankly about their desire to use Medical Marijuana as an alternative form of pain relief. The inhalation of cannabis can potentially have negative health effects that patients should be aware of, and their physicians will most likely inform them of.
