For certain health conditions, non-THC marijuana is available by prescription from a specially-licensed doctor in the state of Minnesota. Very few doctors have obrained the license, and you must purchase from dispensaries scattered around the state.

Only those that approve medical Marijuana use. Google it.

Wrong. Please research before posting. THC is certainly legal in Minnesota, as is CBD, and a mixture of both. If you are interested I will provide the list of clinics providing the exam and the company supplying it.

I'm sorry, but what "wrong" are you referring to?

I will get the hang of these boards eventually! Thanks for clarifying!

Agree. I'm 70+ and have used Medical Cannabis for about 4 months and I swear by it. It decreased my pain by about 85%. Why would anyone respond negatively if they have never tried it. 3-4 puffs vaping is NOT a fair trial. I suffer NO ill effects from it's use. The ONLY negative that I can think of is how my feet and legs feel while taking Marijuana. They are numb. Dead numb. When you remove pain, what is left for me is a profound numbness. I'll take it over the pain any day.

to Medic 7054-   I tried but had no effect with vaping, but never smoked before .  Does it last much beyond the vaping?  When I need it is when I am going to be active, but one cannot be high and out in public. I fear it did not work on me with 4 puffs is that no meds work on me and my pain gets as high as 9 to 10. Trying CBD spray, expensive, but no response to that either....        @ladyjane85

lauriedr, Please research your facts regarding medical marijuana in Minnesota. I live here and have taken medical pot since August. I take a 50/50 dose of THC/HBP orally along with a sub-lingual spray of 100% THC for breakthrough pain.

Thank you @medic7054. I have begged and begged my primary, neuro, and pain clinic physicians to allow me to try medical Marijuana in MN. Without exception, they all dismissed it immediately as anecdotal and not based on medical facts. It is a Catch-22! If I see another doctor on my own who provides a diagnosis (chronic pain) and recommends medical marijuana for a qualified pharmacist to prescribe, I will immediately be in violation of my pain contract. I would then lose all access to pain medications, biofeedback, acupuncture, botox, nerve ablation, steroid shots and nerve blocks, etc., as well as psychological counseling. It makes me so angry that I do not have the ability to partake in legal medication in my state. It took me well over a year to get off the wait list and obtain comprehensive care at the only accredited pain clinic in the state. I cannot risk losing the coordination of care I receive. I do have a psychiatrist, headache specialist, PT therapist, and other professionals I see separately. But none of them will sign on either. I have been out of work for 10 years; I just turned 50. Why are doctors so afraid of this alternative treatment? They approve e-stim, dry needling, essential oils, mega doses of vitamins, minerals, herbs of all kinds, massage, all kinds of crazy things. But this just stymies me. I did my due diligence, made my case, and never got even a smidgen of hope or medical reasoning to back up their opinions.  It is like they just want to CYA. At the same time, they want me off Fioricet and oxy, with nothing to replace it. Preventives and triptans provide me with little, if any, relief. This has been a 15+ year odyssey for me. I have still not been approved for disability. I am at the end of my rope. Thank you for your concern. Sometimes it helps to vent.Laurie Demit Rusin
