My state card's annual expiration was approaching so I dropped an email and received a quick response with a...wait for it...wait for it....4/20 appointment! How cool is that?
Arrived a few minutes early for paperwork (which, by the way, seems more extensive than it was a year ago) and as one might expect, it took about an hour to get into the doctor's exam.
Doctor was very nice and non-judgy; office staff very pleasant and efficient. They gave me a $25 break because I still had a few days left on my card. The outrageous state fee of $150 remains and if you're not a Visa or Mastercard holder, the ^&%$@# in charge of the program have deemed that you are not worthy of relief.
One matter worth mentioning: Do they need a blaring FOX 10 T.V. with panels of blathering botoxed bimbos and screaming mindless audience members and countless commercials driving the entire waiting room to the point of distraction presumably because it was the choice of someone behind the counter?
Perhaps some relaxing music or at least some thoughtful program discussing relevant matters of the day like, oh, I don't know...the fact that we have an elfin racist attorney general about to shut the whole medicinal program down!
