When I had mine, I basically told them, I'm over 40, my body hurts from exercise. I self medicate to sleep better and for recovery, and wanted a legal avenue.

No further questions :)

    I was very honest with my approach. Told them I have an office job, don't drive much etc. The more info like that you give them, the more likely they'll be to prescribe.

    I told them everything and it drew the process out. They wanted to have a discussion about every topic and how it related to thc usage. Sore hands + bad sleep would've been fine.
