Looking for a Dr. in AR. who will prescribe Med Marijuana


looking for a Dr. in AR who will prescribe medical marijuana

We were scheduled to go to a pain mgmt Dr. in Conway (referred by our primary care Dr.). Mel called them today to ask and was told that if you have anything to do with mm this guy will "terminate you as a patient."

That sucks!

Dr. House in Eureka Springs will make recommendations, but I don't know that he is taking new patients.

Seems you can do a lot of this online.

I know where you are at btw. I was going this rather disgusting M.D. for a # of years and said M.D. was anti-cannabis.

When I was hit with a pain contract that specifically stated it would terminate you if you use medical MJ! Hence, I got busy real fast!

I got lucky and found a place to go very close to where I live and they have no problem at all with it; in fact they encourage it! As for the former M.D., good riddance! I dumped this awhole before the awhole dumped me!

Best of luck.

opioid-prescribed patients are periodically tested for "marijuana" usage.

No dangerous drug usage allowed here!
