very exciting update in regards to "letter of diagnosis" that evolved just in the last week, mostly today really!!!

This past week my doc had written me a note confirming my diagnosis for work, because they wanted it on file just incase something happened where I had to go on medical leave (just like I did this week) so they could state I had a pre-existing condition; just wanting to cover their butts in the event that I try to claim my pain is work related, I get it.

Here's where things get awesome!

The other night I'm sitting at my desk, remember the days of no pain when I smoked pot for 6 months last year. Then it dawned on me, "I had a convo with someone here on reddit where they told me there are dispensaries in Canada that work in a grey area, and some will accept a simple note confirming diagnosis, no doctor filling forms, and best of all no $400 Skype doc fees" (I was thinking of this stickied post). I started emailing them all and was getting shot down, they all wanted letters from my doctor indicating why he wouldn't recommend, and his signature, not just this note I have.

Then this evening I get the most glorious of emails! I found a dispensary that can accept my note, I even sent them the verbatim of my note and they said it will do!! I explained that my doc can't have his name on anything other than this confirmation note. He won't even sign the papers stating that he won't sign the papers, they are ok with it, as long as I explain it all!!

So my application form is filled out, my note is scanned, now I just have to get my "passport photo". Luck be it, I run a photography studio that can shoot them!

So, I'm hoping to hear back tomorrow if I get approved. Much cheaper than buying off the street. And variety!! Plus IT ACTUALLY WORKS. All the pills I take daily do nothing for my pain, pot always did. I'm excited to finally be able to do this legally (I'll even take grey area, because it's not overtly wrong!!!)

Wish me luck!!
