Fellow Alaskans!
I'm also in Fairbanks, and I was able to "get a card" for 4 years with no problems, but that ended 2 years ago when the M.D. signing my forms left the health center where he was seeing me. I know of no one else who is signing off now... although there is a D.O. who I heard actually offered that particular service to someone. I happen to know her personally, and we have mutual friends, so I'm not comfortable asking her. I've been asking around for over a year now, and had no success in finding a "compassionate care-giver". However, in my quest, I've considered this: With the statutes the way they are here in AK, whether you have a card or not, you can possess pretty much the same amount of cannabis. I've read that the state registry files are available to several unfriendly agencies. Is it maybe smarter just to do what we're all doing and trust the local cops to uphold the state law rather than to put our names on something that could hurt us somehow in the long run? To tell you the truth, one of the only reasons I wanted the card was to validate my little "choir loft" to anyone coming into my house to do repairs, etc.... (of which there have been many!) Counting on their sympathy, I guess....

Peace,
AKB
