Have you heard of this 3-month medical marijuana period (instead of 12)

When I went in for my evaluation last year to get my recommendation for my migraines, the doctor said he will give me a 3-month period in which I can use medical marijuana. The 3 months will be extended to 12 once I get documentation of a diagnosis of my migraine.

Has anybody heard of this? And are they still doing this?

I am asking because I dont have health insurance and a diagnosis for this can be expensive so I want to avoid until I have health insurance

Is there your primary care doc, or a business strictly for medical mj scrips? Usually if you tell them the medical reason, whatever prescription drugs you are taking for it and pay its just twelve months. Never heard of three months in cali

I've seen that.

They want real proof of your ailment



You have 3 months to provide information from your doctor\perscriptions...whatever they want


If not they won't renew you

My doc does three months for undocumented issues as well. He said it was an ass-covering measure.

Go to a different doctor and ask for a renewal. It should cost you $60 for a full year. I've never once shown any proof of anything and never had a problem getting a rec.

The thing is I've been to 3 doctors and they all told me the same thing. Weird thing is that mine is about to last a year instead of 3 months even though the doctor told me I need to provide proof within 3 months. I dont know if they said that just to be protected in court.

My recommendation is about to expire so I want to renew but dont want to go through so much trouble. I simply cannot afford an MRI right now.

Where do you live? You can go to most MJ doctors and pay $30 for a year.. no documents necessary.

You have your first rec so go ahead and use that. Hit another Dr. up before your current one expires and let him know you are there for a renewal. During the 3 months keep a journal of headaches, aches, pains, and how you medicated to relieve your pain. You should be able to pull a 12 month one after that. Just let them know what you have been using your meds for and how it has helped you.

Some Dr's want to see a history. Some just want medical records. It's a crap shoot but should be easily overcome.

Good Luck!
