Would I be eligible in canada?

Balazin · 08-13-2009, 11:54 PM

Well heres the little run down,
Ive suffered from anxiety its been 4 years, and this led of bad eating habits/and possibly a disorder. Im hardly ever hungry, and when i am, it only take a tiny bit of food before I`m full. And then later on I feel sick like Ive eaten too much. I can never force myself to eat a lot. Anyways I`m 19 and I still weight 110 pounds because of this problem.

Every time i smoke week, it opens my appetite. I`m also more confident the next day and suffer from less anxiety. Just wondering if this would make me eligible to get a prescription here in Canada.

Thanks.

The regulations outline two categories of people who can apply to possess marihuana for medical purposes.
Category 1: This category is comprised of any symptoms treated within the context of providing compassionate end-of-life care; or the symptoms associated with the specified medical conditions listed in the schedule to the Regulations, namely:

Severe pain and/or persistent muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis;
Severe pain and/or persistent muscle spasms from a spinal cord injury;
Severe pain and/or persistent muscle spasms from spinal cord disease;
Severe pain, cachexia, anorexia, weight loss, and/or severe nausea from cancer;
Severe pain, cachexia, anorexia, weight loss, and/or severe nausea from HIV/AIDS infection;
Severe pain from severe forms of arthritis; or
Seizures from epilepsy.

Applicants must provide a declaration from a medical practitioner to support their application.
Category 2: This category is for applicants who have debilitating symptom (s) of medical condition (s), other than those described in Category 1. Under Category 2, persons with debilitating symptoms can apply to obtain an Authorization to Possess dried marihuana for medical purposes, if a specialist confirms the diagnosis and that conventional treatments have failed or judged inappropriate to relieve symptoms of the medical condition. While an assessment of the applicant's case by a specialist is required, the treating physician, whether or not a specialist, can sign the medical declaration.

Does anyone know if canada will accept medical marijuana cards from other states? say michigan??

I guess if i would be eligible id be in category 2. And im guessing that i wouldnt be able to get the medical card, because it is not severe enough.

well you might be able to, but doctors will definitely try other drugs before giving you a recommendation for an narcotic. you would have to go through a whole plethora of prescription drugs first probably.

and chances are pretty high that one of them would work for you...... so medical "marihuana" wouldn't be absolutely necessary, or thats how your doctor would see it. its kinda a long road to get MMJ in the second category, which makes sense when you think about it. they can't just start giving medical cards to people just for chronic migraines(example) unless its the ONLY thing that will help them medically.

not likely, I'm not sure though.I don't use medical marijuana, although i have looked into the canadian aspect of it a little bit

I would agree with equilibrium in this regard. chances are pretty high that one of them would work for you. You can follow his suggestion.
