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! Process for Getting a Medical Marijuana Card in Virginia To get your Virginia medical card through CannabisMD Telemed there are a few, simple steps to follow that can often be done the same day. Across the many practitioners they have available there are a wide range of time slots for whatever fits your schedule. When you're ready to book your appointment, head over to CannabisMD Telemed and click on “Book an Appointment”. From there you can select an available practitioner and lock-in your date and time. Then, simply fill out some personal information, make your payment, and CannabisMD Telemed will do the rest. *Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for an email from them with a meeting link and intake forms that you'll need to have filled out prior to your meeting with the practitioner. 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. Book your appointment on CannabisMD Telemed today and be sure to let them know that Toker’s Guide sent you!

In the bustling town of Cockeysville, Maryland, amidst the rolling hills and vibrant community spirit lies Chesacanna - a cannabis dispensary that is quickly becoming a local treasure. After hearing them mentioned more and more in my travels across Maryland, I decided I needed to stop by and learn more about them first hand. Even in reaching out to schedule a tour and meet with their leadership it was immediately clear that they were warm and welcoming in nature and happy to share their story with me. As I first stepped in the door I said to myself, "This operation has heart." It was a warm and cozy environment where I felt a peaceful calmness wash over me. There was even a fish tank in the waiting area - I always find them cheerful and relaxing. From the information on hand and displayed around the space I could also tell that their approach was rooted in the education and wellness of their patients and customers. One that was highly customer-centric you might say. Visual aesthetics aside, in order to gain deeper insight into their mission, values, and impact, I was excited to connect with their people and hear about what made the place tick from the inside. So, without further adieu, I give you my illuminating Q&A session with the passionate team behind this esteemed dispensary. Cannabis Safety in Dispensaries: Q: What kind of environment can patients and cannabis enthusiasts expect when they step into Chesacanna? How does Chesacanna prioritize safety and compliance measures within its dispensary to ensure a secure and comfortable environment for customers? A. Upon entering Chesacanna the environment is inviting, warm, and relaxing. We created a space to not only help change the stigma of cannabis but to allow our customers to feel at home. While our security team is not visually present, they monitor the store from behind the scenes assuring everyone’s safety. As with all of Maryland’s dispensaries we meet all safety and security compliance regulations, and our store has 24/7 video surveillance. Location Choice and Community Connection: Q: What motivated Chesacanna to choose Cockeysville as its location, and how does the dispensary aim to integrate with the local community? A: The owners of Chesacanna have owned businesses within the Cockeysville/Hunt Valley area for over 20 years. Knowing the demographics and being established within the community were the key factors to placing Chesacanna in its current location. When the Maryland cannabis industry launched, we provided cannabis educational classes, met with local business networking groups, and provided free consultations to anyone interested in becoming a patient. Mission and Values: Q: What is Chesacanna's overarching mission, and how does the dispensary embody its core values in daily operations? A: Our stated mission is to provide solutions to ensure a higher quality of life where mind, body, and soul are healthy, energized, and balanced. Accordingly, our passion is to help people become healthier through our knowledge of medicine, medicinal alternatives, supplements, exercise, and lifestyle change. Our Medical Director and Wellness Director are practicing physicians with a combined 50+ years of experience. Experts in their fields, they bring a wealth of knowledge to our practice and help to establish protocols best suited for our patients. Our Dispensary Director is a long-term medical professional with 28 years of experience working with patients of all populations and conditions. Finally, our two Health and Fitness Directors have a combined 30 years of experience coaching clients on fitness, nutrition, and supplementation. So, as you can see, we take an expert-driven, more holistic approach than what you might find at other dispensaries. Ownership's Perspective on Cannabis: Q: What does cannabis mean to the ownership of Chesacanna, and how does this perspective influence the dispensary's ethos and approach? A: Health and wellness has been the industry that the owners have been involved with throughout their careers. Cannabis is an important tool to help others get access to a more natural form of medicine with less side effects. It was the driving factor to be involved in the cannabis industry and to help our existing clients gain knowledge and access to this beneficial product. Community Impact: Q: How has cannabis benefited the local community, and what initiatives has Chesacanna undertaken to contribute positively to its surroundings? A: Chesacanna strives to be a huge participant in our surrounding community. We've led a Maryland recycling program, created a community clean up program, and host regular educational classes at the dispensary. We're always looking to do our part to better our community. Favorite Brands and Partnerships: Q: What are some of Chesacanna's favorite cannabis brands to collaborate with, and what qualities do these partnerships bring to the dispensary? A: Because we are a local-owned and operated business we try to support similar businesses within the industry such as SunMed, Evermore, Culta, Curio, and Holistic. All these businesses have high quality products, and our patients have very much enjoyed them as well. Future Plans for Positive Impact: Q: How does Chesacanna envision creating positive effects in this area in the future, and what initiatives or projects are on the horizon? A: We look forward to continuing our effort to inform and educate everyone on the benefits of cannabis and the many ways it can positively impact your life. We also look forward being an ever-present, positive influence in the Cockeyville community that we serve. We're always interested in new ways that we can get involved and make an impact! Throughout my discussion with the Chesacanna staff it was abundantly apparent that their commitment to cannabis education, community engagement, and social responsibility was the glowing heart of their mission. As they continue to pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future in the cannabis industry, Chesacanna stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for communities in Maryland and beyond.

Initial Thoughts She’s a runner, she's a Tropstar, and I’m going to light her up when it gets hard. Cheesy rap song reference aside this Tropstar is a delectable sativa surprise cultivated by CULTA and currently available from Maryland recreational marijuana dispensary, Waave. As a sucker for the Tropicana Cookies crosses I couldn't be more stoked for the citrus terps this one is putting out! Appearance Long, silky trichomes cover the lush green buds while specks of purple pop out in random patches. There are also lengthy pistils that are fiery orange. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma Heavy citrus and Tangie-like terps that stick to the inside of my nose. Flavor A funky orange flavor mixed with some gassy notes that hit all at once. Lineage The Tropstar strain is a cross of Tropicana Cookies and Jedi Kush that runs sativa dominant. Effects Tropstar started off with a fast-paced and talkative high, giving me an upbeat energy that kept me engaged and chatty. A delightful tingle spread throughout my body, accompanied by a warming sense of happiness. I found myself tackling mundane household chores easily, making them more enjoyable than usual. I even noticed that after the effects wore off my energy levels remained elevated, which kept my productivity going. Conclusion This Tropstar left a lasting impression on me with its awesome citrus forward stance. The effects are what you might expect in terms of Trop crosses, energetic and pleasantly upbeat, but the nuances of the delicious flavor are what set it apart.

As a huge fan of Runtz in general I knew as soon as I opened the retro-styled packaging that these things were going to hit it out of the park. ⚾︎ Appearance The packaging is awesome and the silver metal tin is sleek and discreet. Inside the tin is a Runtz collectible baseball card and, of course, the all-stars of the deck: pre-rolled joints covered with kief. Status Fresh, with the packaging on the inside of the tin indicating to spark them up within 10 days of opening the packaging to ensure maximum freshness. Aroma I may have mentioned the tin was discreet, however these joints reek. There's a fresh berry scent that overwhelmingly takes over upon breaking the seal. Flavor These little joints packed a punch and had a grape berry taste with a thick smoke and white ash. Lineage The Runtz strain is a cross of Zkittlez and Gelato that runs balanced at 50/50. Effects Like the collectible card says, “there’s no wrong time to smoke Runtz” and I find that especially true when I have something as enjoyable as these pre-rolls. Beyond the catchy tagline on the collectible card, these potent little dusty doobies calmed me down mentally and physically. They kept me in a lighthearted atmosphere and in a really chill state the rest of the night. Conclusion Each detail, from the packaging to the effects, contributes to an elevated and enjoyable outing when it comes to this MVP-level offering.

Initial Thoughts If you're looking for a smooth toking blunt-like experience, but one that will take you to the moon and back, just grab one of these premium blend Moonsticks by DC MOTA and now available at i-71 storefront No Kids Allowed. Appearance Like a pre-rolled blunt, but with the majority of it rolled in wax, then kief. Status Preserved by the glass tube and ready to burn. Aroma Hashy with notes of pine and earth. Flavor This is a powerful flavor that, much like the aroma, is very hashy. It's smooth, though, and note that the glass tip is partially to thank for the more exotic notes of pine and spices. Lineage A mixed bag of premium flower. Effects This Moonstick was an intense experience with a strong headband-like feeling at onset. With the first couple puffs you'll know this isn't your average blunt or pre-roll and your body will begin to tingle as the euphoric stoniness washes over it. It's a great buzz, but an inundating one that may keep you from being productive again for hours. Notably this blend did not have me drowsy like some that I've experienced in the past, so we'll go with "balanced" effects on the whole. Conclusion The folks over at DC MOTA are putting out some really nice pre-rolls, and we've reviewed how awesome their Dog Walkers are before. But, this glass-tipped rocket ship will send you on another journey entirely - one where you should expect to soar to new heights, especially if you haven't experienced concentrates before. To grab your own Moonstick just visit the fun-loving crew over at No Kids Allowed ASAP. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts Local cannabis brand DC MOTA is always coming out with new and enticing products, but you could say they are “shooting for the moon” with these new Moonsticks. Technically, they're kief covered pre-rolls with delectable blends of flower within, but every time I burn one it's like a oneway ticket to space. Currently available from DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, Cheeba DC, I think they can be more accurately described as rocket ships! 🚀🌚 Appearance Perfectly rolled joints smothered in kief with elegant DC MOTA branded glass-tips and packaged in corked glass vials. Status Fresh. Aroma They both had zesty aromas with the indica being sweet and peppery and the sativa version being more citrus. Flavor The indica blend had more of a cola taste with a smooth, cool exhale. The sativa blend tasted how the joints smelled with more of a limonene taste to it. Effects The indica blend gave me a chilled out, lazy vibe with waves of feel good euphoria. It wasn’t the heaviest body high, but it definitely provided the indica mentality of not wanting to get much done. The sativa blend on the other hand was very uplifting and heady. It helped to get the blood flowing and it got me up on my feet for sure. Note that these two joints both took extra long to burn, adding to the effects and making them feel even more potent. Conclusion The customized DC MOTA glass tips help cool and condense the smoke entering the mouth for smoother hits with more flavor. Little details like this and the branded DC MOTA cork show that their efforts go above and beyond to bring consumers an awesome experience. So, if you're looking for that cork-popping party without the nasty hangover, consider unbottling these Moonstick pre-roll joints from Cheeba DC.

Initial Thoughts The phrase “To the moon” has been coined in the last few years describing the hopes and dreams investors have of hitting it big financially. After checking my portfolio, I can use all the help I can get trying to get to the moon. Actually, I'd just like to get my ship off the ground at this point. So, while I may not be soaring into outer space with wealth any time soon, maybe this Hybrid Moonstick from DC MOTA can help me blast off in a different way. Currently available at DC marijuana dispensary, Top Level, they look mighty capable of creating lunar expeditions of the mind. Appearance Stylish packaging that's corked on one end and holds a well-constructed glass-tipped pre-roll completely covered in kief. Status Fresh. Flavor Hits thick and hashy with exotic notes of earth, pine, and spices. Effects This Hybrid Moonstick delivered a harmonious blend of effects that bridged the gap between indica relaxation and sativa invigoration. From the first puff, I experienced a balanced high that offered the best of both worlds. There was a gentle uplift in my mood and energy, accompanied by a sense of clarity and focus that was perfect for tackling tasks or engaging in creative pursuits. I was a big fan of its versatility, which left me feeling uplifted and content any time of day. Conclusion Sometimes I’ve learned that it's best to keep things to the professionals, and just like investing, that's what I'm going to do from now on when I’m looking for pre-rolls. Leave it to the professionals at DC MOTA to create a stick that smacks and has the potential for a speedy liftoff.

This is not your ordinary pot cookie! No, in fact, all of Cannabake DC's delectable treats are made by people who have training and backgrounds in professional baking. They even provide continuing education opportunities in baking and the culinary arts to their team. The idea is to help them further hone their skills, learn awesome new techniques, and bring them into the Cannabake DC knowledge-base. The result is an increasingly diverse array of delicious infused edibles for their customers. These Salted Caramel Drizzle Cookies, for example, are oh so gooey, sugary, sweet, and salty all at once - and also quite irresistible. If you're like me, with a constant sweet tooth and an affinity for caramel, then you might even love these cookies a little too much. 🤤 The caramel is tempered so that it's super sticky, smooth, and with the upmost flavor in every drop. According to the Toker team, it's unanimous that they've absolutely knocked these cookies out of the park. But, at 100mg each, be sure that they don't knock you out of the park...and into outer space. Those unexperienced with or without tolerance for edibles should take it slow and not eat very much (yes this is extremely difficult to do). I even found it difficult to do the wait and see approach given how good each bite was and how bad I wanted to eat not just the whole cookie, but several. A highly experienced friend suggested that the best idea is to cut each round cookie like a pizza and then calibrate accordingly. For example, if it's cut in 8 slices, then that's roughly 12.5mg per slice. This certainly made things a little easier and it's also kind of fun to think about it as "dessert pizza" like you might find at a Pizza buffet. Though these cookies are not gluten free, Cannabake does have the ability to make custom orders with that option - another testament to their skill and customer-centered approach. To have a batch of these or any of Cannabake DC's amazing baked goods delivered to you or your next event just give them a shout today. When you do, don't forget to let them know you heard about them on Toker's Guide!
