Caregiver Status?

[deesgirl]

Ok,

so I have been trying to get my hubby some of the 'right' meds for him. He is a bit gunshy about this and has not been as helpful as I had hoped he would be. Meaning that I have been talking to him about going to the clubs to get a few new things to try, but he isn't really into going just yet I guess. I know you can only lead the horse to water... so to speak... the question is how can I get him meds without a card if he is not willing or able to go to the clubs himself.

In Oregon, from what I understand, a patient can list their caregiver and that person will get some kind of Id or something to get/transport/"buy" meds for that person. I was looking through the Medicann stuff that hubby was given when he got his scrip and didn't see anything like that.

Does anyone have any wisdom or knowledge to share?

you and your husband should call medicann and ask if they can sign you up as a caregiver. its basically just you and your husband going in there and him letting the doctor know that you are his primary caretaker in his life and they should issue you a card and letter that states your caregiver status. You then proceed to take that to a dispensary and they should be able to sign ypu up as a member and you will be able to purchase your husbands medicine
If medicann wont do that you should read the state laws regarding caregivers and then try a different doctor. Medicann is a giant company and sometimes they miss real patients needs.

hope this helps..

good luck
