Now that Michigan has passed the law for the use of Medical Marijuana I would like to know if anyone knows of a doctor here that I can see. I have been diagnossed with chronic back pain and nothing they have given me works except for the Marijuana. Plus it helps with my sleep disorder. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you.

I've been trying to get ahold of someone at THCF for like a month and noone called me back. My current doctor is being an asshole about giving me my charts saying that only another doctor can request . themI can't find any other doctors in MI. I met this one doctor who had just given a speech about the medical benifits of cannibis and pretty much told me that I would qualify but I lost his number and can't even remember his name. Does anybody know how I can get ahold of somebody at THCF? If not, I guess I'll keep checking this board to see if anyone hears anything.

Don't think you have to send anything but the last 2 Dr. visit's notes. At least Wa., Or. This has nothing to do with the charts. The person at the desk can fax the notes, no big deal.......... to thcf

Dose anyone know of any other clinics?
It looks like it's just the one but they travel around? I'm not sure I understand that right. You probably already have their website address but for others in the state here is a page that lists the cities and contact information. Each day's locations will open into a little information thing when clicked.

There is more then one doctor but as far as I know only one of them is registerd to be in michigan. The other states have more though. I however am not 100% certen on that but thats what it looked like at the TCHF site.
Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of doctors who are willing to write the recommendations--no matter that their patients qualify under Michigan law. Sadly, these same doctors have no problem writing prescriptions for harmful and addictive pills.
At any rate, I would urge patience in dealing with THCF. I suspect they are being bombarded with phone calls from people whose regular doctors are afraid to recommend the healing benefits of a simple plant.
If you happen to know of other doctors who are willing to write recommendations, please let us all know.

Between the lack of (widely-available through normal medical channels) information and downright misinformation, in a way I don't blame a lot of the doctors who are hesitant.
After all, I would hesitate to place my health in the hands of a doctor who'd recommend something that he/she knew nothing about.
That's why it's important to take any scientific data - and even patient's experiences/testimonials - to your local doctor. And hope that said doctor actually reads it.
Now, a doctor that refuses to recommend MMJ because he/she is prejudiced against it or because they are in the pocket of the big drug companies is a different thing all together.

Well i read that the best way to get yourself an appointment at the michigan clinic is to either fax them your medical records and doctor notes or mail them which i did priority mail.
My nerve damage is getting worse every day and i find myself smoking /vaporizing more frequently to aleve the pain and i dont want to go to jail for self medicating myself.
