that I can go to most physicians and get a prescription for opiods for no charge and fill it.  
 
however  
 
for a natural product, (cannabis), it is almost impossible to find a willing doctor and you have to go to private clinics.  
 
the cost associated is in the $425 range.  
 
it is no wonder people think medicine is run by pharmaceutical companies

When my buddies get from their prescribed places to purchase there is no legal jargon to go with it, side effects, etc. I think it was today I read about how pharmaceutical companies spend multi millions on research on a particular drug. I think doctors don't write a pres:cription as it is about as effective as writing a pres:cription for alcohol during prohibition. It is a little different for pot. How do you know the strains of pot you are purchasing are targeted to what you need?

Talk to the people at grown n smoke on 18th. They are very knowledgeable.

You can apply online through Growers N Smokers.

there are many people that use cannabis for chronic pain in many different ways.  
 
my point was about a persons ability to get free prescriptions for a dangerous narcotic to treat the same type of pain.......  
 
but we are forced to pay for a legal prescription to a natural product.

as you say M is a natural product of the earth... so are magic mushrooms... do people think that mushrooms are okay?  
 
Does anyone know the history? Who decided that marihuana should not be legal?

Natural Health Services charges no fee whatsoever.

As far as I can find regarding the businesses mentioned in this thread:  
 
Growers and Smokers - you still need to have a doctor's prescription.  
 
Natural Health Services - No cost to see one of their doctors for the prescription, but you need to attend appointments in Winnipeg every 3 months.  
 
Tweed Main Street - you still need to have a doctor's prescription.

You don't require a doctors pres:cription, but you will require some form of documented medical history.  
 
The process with Growers N Smokers went like this at the time I went through them.  
 
G&S puts you in contact with MMC  
You talk to a consultant from MMC  
Pay $50 One-Time Fee (If you like what you hear)  
MMC requests permission for your medical history & is your medical history reviewed by there Doctor  
If your current documented medical history meets there Doctors requirements, then you will be given a VSEE appointment with there Doctor.  
A Consultant from MMC will basically arrange all this for you, all you have to do is download VSEE on your mobile phone or computer.  
The doctor is just like your gp the only difference is its done over VSEE which is basically a Skype clone. The Dr will basically interview you / asses you over VSEE.  
Depending on your medical condition they might ask for you to provide research or more information on your condition before there doctor is willing to sign your pres:cription (MMC consultants will also do research on your behalf to an extent).  
OR they might just sign off on it right away. Everybody's condition is different and not everything has document research behind it.  
If you're not approved on your first VSEE appointment they will work with you to get approved as long as you have a legitimate claim.  
 
That was how it work when I applied. Now I am pretty sure G&S puts you in contact with somebody local or rural, they're only a phone call or Facebook message away.

Go see him. Fill out the paperwork, get it sent in, they fax the release form to your doc, once they get your medical records from your doc you get a video appointment. Video appt is around 5 minutes long. For me instant approval. Picked a dispensary. Placed order, card came with first order. Cost was zero!!  
 
Family member did the same and had his card in less than a month. He also went through Rick at Growers.

I agree with the above posters. Talk with Rick at Growers and Smokers. He can get you on the road to getting your pres:cription. Very knowledgeable and will answer any questions regarding the process and product. Having had my Medicinal Marijuana pres:cription for 2 years now I can assure you that most local doctors wont prescribe marijuana because of all the unknown, strain, potency how much and how you administer. My personal experience will be different that most but I took some trial and error and am know able to dose properly as to not have all the euphoric effects but still the pain relieving benefits. Best of luck.

That's what they do. You would have a meeting, most likely over your phone or computer. From there it's easy sailing. If someone is charging you for a rx you are being robbed.

Funny I don't mind the smell of it. Cig smoke just stinks plus makes my asthma act up, pot doesn't...go figure. I have harder times breathing in crowded areas such as schools and bars cause people seem to like to bath in perfumes and axe body sprays.

some smokers have the cig smoke e:mbedded in their skin, hair and clothes, not all mind you. I happen to hate the smell of all the hemp products too!  
I can be sitting by smokers, I don't think I can smell their smoke but my nose can always tell, I start sneezing, loudly!  
As for the various perfumes/aftershaves they do bother me too especially if people are bathed in their scent. Places that advertise that their building is a scent free facility how come the policy is not enforced? I'm talking buildings in the health care field. Why can staff wear perfumes, aftershave lotions etc?  
 
So that pot that is called skunk weed, does that scent not bother you? Holy mackerel, why would anyone want to smell like a skunk? lmao!

I am surprised that I don't mind smell of one over the other, or other fragrances for that matter. Maybe I am immune to the smell I don't know. Genetics plays a part I am sure. Just like the herb Cilantro. My wife likes it in a lot of foods, yet (I have looked it up and it isn't just me lol) I can taste the smallest piece in foods as it tastes like dish soap. Yet farm smells I have no problems with but my wife gags at them. Spreading manure is one of them, I don't have a problem yet others are ready to puke. Maybe it is my inner farmer in me being a city boy and all.
