Chronic pain and medical marijuana

I agree the cost of the product is too high and from what I know this applies to other states, as well. What I find expensive and excessive is having to see a medical marijuana doctor twice a year! They don’t bill insurance (at least the one I know about) and the cost is $155. I could see this once a year maybe, but I spend more per year on them than on the tincture. Florida needs to change (many rules/laws, actually). In Illinois, cards are renewed every 3 years and that’s when you see the doctor for a note.

At least you have access to cannabis, both THC and CBD, so you can be thankful for that.
I would pay a lot for that. It would be great to have medical guidance about dosage and what to try. That is crucial to getting the help we need for pain.
Those of us who resort to purchasing recreational cannabis in legal states have only “bud tenders” to consult. Yikes.
So what amounts of CBD are you using? How many mg for each dose and how often? Where can those of us who live in states that sell CBD (I understand it is legal everywhere in the US) but not THC go to research this?
I think all forms of cannabis will become legal in the near future. There must be a lot of research going on now that it is legal in many states, so I’m hopeful we will have more resources like this in the future.

That is terrible in Fl to charge so much for a mmj card and gouging patients for $155. In Pa it's once a year and after initial fee of $150 renewal is $75/year. Prices vary state to state and yes cannabis costs me out of pocket but it's healthier than narcotics, I feel a whole lot better, no drug hangover and I'm controlling my pain and it's not controlling me. And I'm not being held back by a prescription writing doc. All worth it to me.
