Don't think it's that hard to get a legal prescription. If you don't mind paying 200+ there are a lot of skype type services that will arrange a 1 year prescription. Any type of stated pain or insomnia or stress etc. will usually be enough to get a script from one of the services. After a year you will have to get it renewed for the same fee, but you will be "legal". Better to get 3 or 4 scripts at 1g per day so that you can buy from different LP's. One thing to watch out for is a THC limit. You don't want any limit and from what I am lead to believe most of the pay for script places don't impose one but you want to be aware of that before you hook up with one of the services. LIFT has info on their pages on how to find a doctor.
I would respectfully disagree that it is that easy to obtain a legal cannabis prescription. Some have it easier than others, but some of those people are also quite sick and/or have a good relationship with their family doctor. I went through my family doctor and have an excellent relationship with them, but I also have some serious medical conditions that qualify for therapeutic cannabis treatment. They wouldn't just give it to me cause I claimed I had pain or even wanted an alternative treatment for a valid condition. She gave it to me after we tried many conventional treatments that didn't work for real medical conditions.
Additionally, there are many, many cannabis clinics that will, for a fee, set you up with a compassionate Doctor, but you have to have proof of a valid medical condition, you don't just go there are say I have back pain and want to treat it with cannabis. Those skype doctors, say in cases of pain, need to see x-rays, MRIs and CT scans that prove you have pain. Or in cases like fibromyalgia where there may be no evidence of the pain, you would need to have a well documented history of the pain and likely attempts at treatment with a qualified practitioner. And likely an official diagnoses.
Most of those clinics need previous evidence of a diagnoses. They don't diagnose themselves, most of them say so on their websites. For example Canadian cannabis clinics.
You have to remember these are doctors providing scripts and they are under watch by their college for misconduct. They can't just be handing out scripts for unverified claims.
Only age verification would be nice. Just need a selection and know what I'm getting. My guy doesn't really know what he has and sometimes I get the mind racing pot that makes my chest heavy and mind race and therefore anxiety shoot up
Pharmabee, didn't know they were running a dispensary. They used to make extracts that were for sale in Toronto and other dispensaries.
What's the website for them and would be happy to give my opinion on the service they are offering.
Some dispensaries set you up with doctors to get an actual valid MMPR script that sets you up with a valid licensed producer, from which you don't ever need to order any, just registering with them and being able to order is your valid medical proof. They sometimes send a card or you need to make a minimum order to get a container that would then be your proof of authorization to posses. However, once you have this set up you can go to any dispensary you want.
Other dispensaries have their own doctors that will provide letters to the dispensary that you require medical cannabis, but this does not make you legal and you could still be charged for possession. This just allows you to buy from that dispensary.
