There's no doctor in the area who will prescribe mm. A doctor comes to a local dispensary monthly and for an annual fee of $175 writes a prescription. Then there's the $200 annual fee for the green card from the state. And then the expense of the weed. I decided I couldn't afford it and am still pursuing other meds, even though, when I tried a medical dosage, it seemed to stop the pain for a while.

PS My new profile picture is my previous service dog, Barnabas, who died a year ago.

I am unaware of the procedure a doctor has to go thru to dispense mm. I will inquire of the law here in SC. Although the amount he prescribes is a low dosage and to be taken in tandem to the other 2 meds I take in order to sleep at least 4 hours a night. I am very grateful that I am a patient of his. At the very least he is a forward thinking physician. More so than the ones I saw for years on end, to no avail!!!
So handsome, your Barnabas!

@carolinapearl53 I have to add that the first lie of medicine that I found was that there is no such thing as pain free, pain medicine at best reduces pain and makes it more tolerable. I have found fentayl patches to be the most helpful for me, but they do not work on all types of pain. As I have said before pain suffers need to get together and file group lawsuits or the families of pain suffers after the family member dies from lack of proper care. 19lin
