It is important to document your medical condition. Without access to current medical records, our physicians will be unable to review and certify your condition. Few patients have conditions where very few records are needed, Our Doctors requires the records to be current (within the past three years) and be relevant to your qualifying condition.

Dear Medical Professional,

This is a letter to introduce our centers to patients, possibly your patients, that could benefit from the use of medical marijuana to combat their pain or illness. We understand the issues, legalities and red tape that the medical marijuana act poses for medical professionals and are here to help. Undoubtedly you understand the benefits of marijuana and the relief it can provide for patients. We also know and have dedicated ourselves to providing choices to those same patients in a very professional and clinical manner.

On or about February 15, 2012, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Registry Program will be sending out “NOTICE OF APPROVAL” letters to qualifying patients who have submitted a valid original or renewal application prior to December 31, 2011 and have not yet received their Medical Marihuana Registry cards. If the qualifying patient has designated a primary caregiver, they will also be receiving a “NOTICE OF APPROVAL” letter. This letter provides notice that the patient or caregiver registry card has been approved. The letter will:

Marijuana can be classified as 3 different types; sativa strains, indica strains and a hybrid of both. Most marijuana is some form of hybrid but will be dominant either sativa or indica based on the genetics. Indica strains are best used to treat deep physical pain (numbing effect). They are unlike sativa dominant strains that are more used for day time pain relief. Indica strains often help with intense physical pain and have more of a narcotic effect.

Looking for a list of marijuana strains and what they are good at healing/relieving? Below is a compiled list of strains and what they are effective at.

When we first met with Tim of Clawson he had been prescribed oxycodone after a serious car accident over a year ago and is in constant physical pain effecting sleep and daily activities. Tim heard about our clinic and wanted a safe and profesional source for pain relief after unsuccesfully finding other safe and readily available alternatives.

Earlier this year we had a cancer patient, we will refer to as Bob, call our office for information about medical marijuana and invited him to stop by our Warren location. Bob wanted to understand what it’s (marijuana) like, what you use and other common questions that many people often have.

It was a great joy for our staff to spend about 30 minutes in person with this gentleman who was scared and reaching out to many individuals across several professions in preparation for his upcoming chemotherapy treatment. Bob wanted to be ready as he was certain of one thing; the chemo was not going to be easy.

One of our patients has suffered with multiple sclerosis (MS) for years and has been using medical marijuana to combat the effects of this crippling disease. The marijuana provides instant relief, while some strains work better than others with the help of our staff we have identified three strains that work very well.

The net result of medical marijuana has given our patient a sense of freedom, energy and relief. Also he has cut out 6 chemical prescriptions that he was taking before the use of marijuana.

We have chose to support the Michigan Aids Coalition and know that their organization is efficient and effective at educating and advocating for aids patients. They have a very important task and like any effective machine need financial support to run. If you are able please visit http://michiganaidscoalition.org/donate/ to help.

• Required if patient is designating a new caregiver or continuing with their current caregiver.
• Copy of patient’s current photo ID.
