Medical Marijuana Consultations with Doctor Still Necessary in Virginia
Even with the new rules for medical marijuana in Virginia a consultation with a certified doctor is still necessary to purchase medical marijuana at dispensary locations in Virginia.
Medical marijuana legislation is always changing and it can be difficult for patients looking to get medical marijuana to keep up with those changes and what they mean for Virginia residents. One question that keeps coming up from out patients. Do I still need to talk to a doctor? Yes, you still need to see a doctor to get certified for medical marijuana and purchase cannabis products from local dispensary locations.
What is Changing for Medical Marijuana
An amendment was issued by Governor Youngkin that was signed on April 11, 2022, but does not go in effect until July 1, 2022. The legislation will change what patients need to do in order to purchase cannabis products from state medical marijuana dispensary locations. Beginning July 1, 2022, patients will no longer be required to register with the Virginia Board of Pharmacy after receiving their medical marijuana certification from our marijuana doctor. The reason for this change is because it was taking too long for the state to process medical marijuana applications. This huge backlog in pending medical cannabis applications at the state level is what prompted Governor Youngkin to make this change. This is great news for many patients seeking natural treatment options such as medical marijuana because starting July 1, 2022, they will be able to go to the dispensary the same day they are certified by our doctor.
What is Staying the Same for Medical Cannabis
New medical cannabis rules still make it necessary for patients to receive medical recommendations so they can register with local marijuana dispensaries and purchase medical marijuana products.
These changes are welcome news for medical marijuana patients in Virginia. It will mean that patients will be able to receive medical marijuana treatment faster than before. Patients can still register with the state if they want a formal medical marijuana card from the state but it will not be necessary. Most Virginians will bypass the state registration process and go straight to the cannabis dispensary after seeing our doctor and immediately begin purchasing medical marijuana flower, tinctures, vapes, extracts, edibles, and concentrates.
Patients will not be able to bypass seeing a doctor who is registered with the state to issue medical marijuana recommendations and certifications.
