Is there such a thing as a marijuana doctor?The short answer is no. The longer, more complex answer is yes. How do you get a marijuana doctor? The simplest way to see a marijuana doctor and ultimately get your marijuana card is from the Easy Access Instruction Kit. If you want to forgo the kit, that is were the long, complex answer comes into play.Most doctors have the authority to sign your Health Canada authorization forms, but tend to veer away from this type of medicine.  Most will say they are not clear on the adverse side effects because enough hasn't been tested about the drug. Others won't sign for fear of what their colleagues will think about prescribing medical marijuana.The most important thing to do when talking to your doctor about marijuana is to be 100% honest with them.  Also, you should go to every meeting with your doctor well prepared with lots of literature and news articles about the positive effects of medical marijuana.  That is the key! If you are well versed and know what you are talking about as well as being a patient who actually needs marijuana, then there is NO reason your general doctor shouldn't sign your forms.If you don't have a general doctor, you need to go to a medical walk-in clinic and get a referral to a specialist in the area you are citing medical marijuana for, a few helpful sites for this are cannabis license & marijuana card.  Once you have the appointment for the specialist, then you again, bring lots of literature and news articles to the appointment and be very well versed and know your stuff.  The doctor at that point, should be okay with your choice to use medical marijuana.
