because it's not setup through there online checkout, as you can't use a standard checkout .... where's the extra button for vet's? that would cost extra.... ya know it's not like they couldn't have a "other box" where ya could put your DVA number or nothing *hint*hint*.... but again it would cost money.Cynthia, sorry to hear about your experience with PNP.
It is complete bullshit.
Why won't they let Vets place online orders?...I understand that the payment is made by Veterans Affairs, but isn't money money?
Once again sorry you have to go through that crap..... but your not alone as many on here are in your boat. Now being a veteran you could ask DVA " I will pay for it myself and send you the receipt... this way I can order it online like everyone else, they should give you that option ... then send in your receipt and get reimbursed..... I know it's a hassle but if you want to return to the quick order system that's what I would do. Also I would go to your doctor get him / her to sign a few more different LP forms ASAP, this way you can change... once again a big hassle but would you rather have a better LP than to stick with guys that are burning you at every turn? have to stand up to LP's and drop them.... don't tell them as they don't require you to quit to go with another LP.... if you have signed with more than one ... you can order meds from whom ya choose just don't go over your grams/per day in a month.... no need to split up your script between all LP's as you can have full scripts with all of them.... just like I said don't be that first one and go over ... who knows if they will ban you from taking MMJ... I would not want to be the firstBefore I received VAC coverage, I was paying cash & ordering on-line without a problem. They have been saying since the end of Feb that they will eventually have the system set up for the ones with coverage, but to date, we are still call in only. I'm not a computer programmer, but it's not rocket science to set this up to be more user friendly for their covered patients. I played the pill game for 5 yrs only to be deemed not suitable for any med without horrible side effects. Medical marijuana is my LAST hope in finding some pain relief and to be able to sleep more than 2 -3 hrs a night. Not one order from PNP could be deemed suitable for sleep. Not 1. Three strains are available, not 1 over 9%. Disgusting is what comes to mind. I don't go to the pharmacy to pick-up a prescription, only for them to tell me, so sorry, but we could only give you half, too bad so sad for the rest of it. If I am unhappy with a pharmacy, I can easily transfer all my prescriptions to another store, no problem no questions asked, yet, my license for medical marijuana....it's a no go, you have to go back to your Dr and start over again. Sooooo sad! Frustrated, stressed to the max on order day, so much so that I am in tears at times and shaking like a leaf.
So, how do I go about getting one from VAC? Do I phone my area case worker, VAC themselves? I would so prefer a vaporizer over anything else. I do have one, but it broke and the company won't honor the life time warranty without a receipt. It was a gift, no receipt was included under the Christmas tree that year. Santa must have forgotten. lol
call DVA ask to speak with medical equipment procurement... they will probably call you back...get preauthorized to purchase a vape.... they may require your doctor to send them a letter stating why and under what circumstances you require it, I would let the doctor know that burn of MMJ in a smokable joint is releasing carcinogens into your lungs like tobacco and a vape 'in it does not release said bad stuff only vapour as it doesn't burn the MMJ but heats it enough to release the medicinal vapours for your relief, you know DVA they are sticklers for proper paperwork.... but hey it saves ya like $800 buckaroos you may want to find a place to buy it and how much it costs before you get the authorizationSo, how do I go about getting one from VAC?
