I know one person who lives not too far from me that couldn't find a local doctor to prescribe marihuana and had to take several medication for pain...
About three months ago he sent all his local doctor's medical file to a Toronto doctor licensed to prescribe, arranged a video consultation with the doctor using Skype and now receives his medical marihuana through Canada Post.
Last week He was able to have face to face meeting with a representative of that doctor in Cochrane and found that the improvement is such that not only he won't need surgery like the local doctor had suggested but he is able now to reduce the marihuana dosage..
