Question about surgery/marijuana recommendation

I was talking to an aquantance of mine earlier, who mentioned they had surgery on their back, and were still suffering. I asked what they had done, and they had their l4-l5 disk removed, and has a fusing. I told him that was exactly what was done to me, and he inquired as to whether or not I had considered marijuana. I said yes, and told him I received a recommendation for it.
Long story short, he wants to recieve a medicinal marijuana rec, yet doesn't have the medical records stating he had surgery, nor can he get them as apparently the place that performed the surgery is long gone. He does have the scar from surgery, and it is a huge scar, and it is quite evident that it was cut wide open. Should a doctor be able to look at this, and be able to tell that he isn't lying, and is indeed suffering? He doesn't have health insurance, so going to a doctor, simply to state that he had surgery is not an option.

ahhh well i think you need to go to doctors to get the prescription in the first place.
generally you get official diagnosis of your problem, then you go to a pot doctor (through norml you can find them) and show them, and they say "okay" and get you set up.
i suppose you could call norml, or call a doctor who endorses medical marijuana and ask if he will write a prescription for it without having to have official records.
if you live in a state with medical marijuana I would assume you also live in a deciminralized state? (look at norml.org )
if so if you have an illegal hookup wouldn't it work until he got a proper medical setup? i wouldn't really grow unless growing is decrim too, but you could at least buy some in the mean time.

just find one of the doctors and tell him everything thats going on and how you think mj is just what the doctor ordered.
he will prob have you come in( these guys put a lot on the line the least you can do is support them with a office visit checkup)

good advice right here, but I doubt any mj doctor will do anything if he cannot get his back pain verrified by a secondary provider. Im sure you can just go to some cheap hick doctor and show him the scar and tell him the surgery thing and he should see that its causing pain and will write a small note about it for your other doctor.
