YES! Yesterday was the day. Chris and I went to the THCF clinic and I got my physicians signature and I am now legal to possess, use and cultivate medical marijuana. I cried. I'll admit it. It was so easy to go through the process. First you go in and the office is decor is to die for! They have huge vividly colored prints on the walls, all close up's of various strains of buds. Of course my phone died as soon as we got there but we got some great shots on Chris' phone and as soon as we figure out how to get them on here I will post pics. They take you to a room and ask you to fill out some paperwork, then you go into a side room and start to watch a video telling you about growing, using and protecting yourself from law enforcement. I was called in to the next office after about five minutes. This next guy was cool. He told us his name and we instantly clicked. He explained that he was going on a radio show this week and that he would be part of the traveling clinic coming to Flint and Saginaw later in the month so we made plans to advertise for him in this area to find patients. Then we went into see the a nurse and my vitals were taken. She was really nice. My blood pressure was good she put the stethescope up to my back and told me to take a deep breath and as soon as I took a breath I started to cough. I was so congested from smoking so much crap weed lately. She asked me how much I smoked, and I of course asked her of what? she laughed and said tobacco, I smiled and said sorry. No. I really don't smoke cigarettes. In the end we agreed to put down half a pack of tobacco a day and she highly reccommended that we invest in a vaporizor because this would allow for 95% use of the medicine along with no congestion. Then we went into the physician. He asked about my pain and we chatted for a few minutes. I really held my breath right up until the second he signed his name at the bottom of the form. Once we were done he wished us luck and handed me my chart. APPROVED!! I made it to the front desk again, took a few more pics and we went to thank the front desk guy one more time. That's when I lost it. I started crying because this was such a relief and I was truly thankful. He smiled and gave me the biggest hug ever. I came home and celebrated with my doors wide open. This morning my coffee was the best because I could medicate with my windows wide open and I was safe and protected. Anyway thanks for sharing in one of the best days of my life. It was so stressful that I slept like a log last night. Nice to have some peace in my life. I have meetings to plan and patients to find. Things are falling into place.

I'm Off....

Today's the day. I'm off to get my doctors signature at the THCF clinic. I'll be legal in a matter of hours! I have waited my whole life for this day.

White Widow

FROM THIS TO THIS ..... IN UNDER A MINUTE I forgot to tell you. I posted a pic a while back of the white widow, and the guy I visited last week is growing a few white widow plants which are just beginning to bud. They are sweet. He told me I am so getting some of it when it's ready. I get a clone too. Giggity !!

Breathe

Things are better now. Without meds I just can not function and it shows. I could have cared less about this blog or my cause. It's almost harvest time here in Michigan. I've seen a few grow rooms and all I can say is wow! I hope that my own grow room looks that impressive a year from now. I'm trying to put our compassion club back together with the core three of us that started it. I visited with G the other day and he agrees that J has no place in our organization. I don't think S will have too many objections. I am going to go ahead and put together an agenda that I think will work for everyone and present it within the next month. Tomorrow I go and see the doctor about getting my card! I am so excited but I won't breathe until we're in the parking lot tomorrow. I just cannot believe that it's finally my turn after all these years. Wish me luck!! Chris and I have been seriously discussing (again) where we want to take this business. We know we want to grow, but that won't be enough. Chris is talking about starting a service to help the homebound by going to their house and helping them fill out and mail or fax their paperwork. He also wants to help them by taking them to their physician, or to the THCF clinic to get their paperwork signed. Some people still need help and we want to help them. Myself. I'm starting to narrow my cause. I am talking to people and getting information as to how to get mental illness added as a qualifying condition in Michigan for the use of meds. Wish me luck here too. Lots to do today. My daughter goes on a week long mission starting this afternoon. A group of teenagers will be ministering to the homeless of our city of Saginaw for the next week while living at the church completely unplugged from all electronics. I am so proud of Her. She is an angel from God with a beautiful heart. I have to go and buy my share of the groceries to feed these teen animals. Have to laugh when I was looking at how much meat was needed to feed twenty people someone pointed out that if you are buying for teenagers, you might as well double everything because they can eat! How true is that? Yeah, I added a few extra of everything to my list after that. I do love shopping. See ya later!!
