I agree 100% with this post. I went for a screening. After spending about five minutes with an assistant a doctor came in and told me that I was eligible and signed a paper. I was then told that I had to pay $350 for that visit plus $75 for the license and then about $150 month for the product. After that, the license has to be renewed every ten months.
I provided no proof or even evidence of the conditions that I have. They simply took my word. I got the impression that no one gets turned down. The whole thing seemed like an assembly line process.
When I objected to the $350 charge, I was told that if I didn't want to pay, they wouldn't put the paperwork through. I said that that was fine and walked out.
The whole thing currently is a scam. It ought to be sold in liquor stores just like alcohol is.
I tried some that a friend with a license had and found it did nothing to relieve my pain. I also repeatedly asked the nurse and doctor if I had to stay high all the time in order to relieve my pain or if there were residual effects and could not get a straight answer.
People are simply claiming ailments, some of which may be legitimate, but buying this for recreation purposes.
