Canada is the place to be if you need MM for a medical condition. Down here, you have to first have your doc send your medical records to the medical clinic which specializes in medical marijuana. They will assess your health records and determine if your condition can benefit from use of MM. Then you get an appointment to see a nurse and specialized doctor. They take your vitals, look at your records, talk to you and thus determine if you can get a MM permit. You then have to pay $200 (not 250_I was wrong) 'which is an annual fee.
I'm not sure exactly how it is dispensed, the law down here is not clear, kind of a vicious cycle. You can be a caregiver and provide MM to one person only. If you provide to more than 1 person, you can be arrested for dealing. There are laws as to how many plants you can have, etc.
I have only tried a few samples, didn't use it on a daily basis. So my determination of its effectiveness might be wrong.
I started with tremors in my left hand. That is what led me to doctor. But now that I am on medications, the tremor is the least of my problems. My main issue is the stiffness of my muscles mainly in my neck and shoulders. Nothing seems to help, have tried, chiro, deep tissue massage, botox injections, physical therapy, etc.
I hope I answered all your questions.
Your situation up in Canada sounds great for those who benefit from MM.
Oh, MM with no buzz. Yes, that is what I meant, but I probably should of said MM with less of a buzz. Apparently, the pills are the best for certain kinds of pain and you don't get as much of a buzz as you would from say a cookie or just smoking it. You see, I am not really after the buzz. I had so much of that when I was younger, that I don't really like it anymore. Sounds crazy, but true.
