Re: Your experience with Better... did you get the sense they could help you find a doctor who was supportive? I was sort of thinking of dropping into one myself, if that was part of the service... my family physician seemed opposed to the notion of prescribing cannabis when I brought it up at my last physical... admittedly, the only condition I might treat with it would be the odd bout of insomnia, or stress... you know, as an alternative to self medicating with wine or spirits... my family doctor, I don't think, would offer me a referral to a cannabis specialist clinic. There is also the catch that, as a member of a Family Health Group (or Network or Organization?!?), many family doctors 'sign up' their patients, and if their patients go somewhere else to seek care, other than by referral, the doctor gets penalized - which in turn means they could drop you as a patient - and it's tough to find a family doc' these days! So, one might be disinclined to go to a drop-in clinic or something, if another physician was going to bill OHIP for seeing you and prescribing your Medicinal Marijuana. On the other hand, if it was a 'service' outside of OHIP, it would mean your family doctor would be unaffected...
