With all of the options currently available to certify you as a medical marijuana patient in the state of Virginia it can be difficult to understand which one to choose. That’s why Toker’s Guide has taken the guesswork out of selecting your medical marijuana evaluation provider and teamed up with the best, most streamlined option around, CannabisMD Telemed. Their evaluation process is simple and the best part is you can find yourself in a dispensary the same day you begin!
Reasons for Getting a Medical Card
Earlier this month I realized that my prescription had expired, but it was my fault for ignoring the reminder email that CannabisMD Telemed had sent me. They make it super convenient for returning patients, like myself, with a button in said email that leads directly to where you can schedule or reschedule on their site.
I mainly use cannabis for pain management, since I have an autoimmune disease that causes a lot of pain. Getting certified for medical cannabis was a no brainer for me because it had helped alleviate my symptoms in the past, and also allows me to take a more holistic approach to my health.
Qualifying Conditions
To qualify for medical cannabis in the state of Virginia you need to have what's known as a qualifying condition. These qualifying conditions include any that a registered practitioner (Medical Doctor) deems cannabis would be a sufficient treatment for. The same registered practitioner could also determine that cannabis would alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease and qualify a patient in that way. In other words, if a doctor thinks that a patient would benefit from cannabis, they can prescribe it.
Note that whatever your reason or ailment for using medical cannabis might be, CannabisMD Telemed will help get you certified or your money back!

Meeting your Medical Marijuana Doctor
I remember being nervous before my first ever medical card evaluation and fretting about what it would be like. Let me reassure you, though, there's nothing to be nervous about. The friendly staff at CannabisMD Telemed makes things so simple and so smooth that other routine medical visits may seem painstaking instead.
This year I met with Mary Cox in a virtual, online appointment (hence the "Telemed" part) and had the most pleasant experience getting a medical card to date. She was super knowledgeable across a range of cannabis subjects and she even provided specific guidance about what to select and how to use it once I received my certification. I would recommend her for any new or returning patients because she made the entire experience so enjoyable and informative.
Registering with CannabisMD Telemed is such a simple, user friendly process that it's easy to get started right away. The staff are super supportive and I definitely felt like I received the excellent care and attention I deserved during my appointment.
