I called the Department of Health hotline to learn how to get a medical marijuana card
Our state’s Department of Health has slowly improved since the last governor left office. It still has a long way to come, however at least they’re staffing enough people to answer the cellphones when citizens call in desperate need of help. The last governor was breaking costs wherever humanly possibly, leaving some agencies woefully understaffed while I was in critical crises. Even though the newer governor is from the same party, he’s more competent at the task at the bare minimum. I won’t defend him on much, however it’s a fact that he stopped the governor’s office from unconstitutionally restricting access to medical marijuana. Before he assumed office, our former governor was in a battle with the courts to stop a constitutional amendment that legalized marijuana for medical use. Despite getting over 72% of the vote, the former governor plugged portions of the law. It took 2 years plus a current governor before we could buy cannabis flower products at cannabis dispensaries. Now I can easily speak to a human being if I call the state’s Department of Health, which is the office that handles the medical marijuana program. Since I’m just now getting the cash together to get a medical marijuana card, I took advantage of the cannabis hotline from the Department of Health to learn how to get a medical marijuana card plus the entire process. They gave myself and others a link where I could look through a database of physicians across the state that are all certified to prescribe medical marijuana to state approved patients. With the database, I found a good dentist whose office is just a 10 fifth drive from our apartment.
