Getting a medical marijuana card in Virginia in 2022

Getting your marijuana card in Virginia in 2022 has never been easier at CannabisMD TeleMed. Read below to understand how to get your Virginia marijuana card.

Getting Your Virginia Marijuana Card Has Never Been Easier

Getting a marijuana card in Virginia in 2022 is very easy at CannabisMD TeleMed. We utilize the latest HIPAA-compliant technology to allow our patients to schedule their appointment with our marijuana doctor entirely online. Patients are able to book an appointment and choose the day and time that works best for them. Many of our patients seeking the benefits of this natural medicine are able to book same-day appointments.

In Virginia, any medical condition could be a qualifying condition for medical marijuana, and we offer a money-back guarantee if we do not recommend you for medical cannabis. If you feel you could benefit from medical cannabis, just book an appointment today so you can get approved for medical marijuana.

Once a patient has scheduled their virtual telemedicine appointment online, they are then sent intake forms that can be completed from any connected device such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Our patients are able to fill out and submit their marijuana intake forms through our online patient portal.

After you submit your intake forms, all that is left to do is wait for your online appointment with one of our cannabis practitioners. You will receive a link prior to your appointment by email and text message. We recommend clicking on this link 10 minutes before your marijuana evaluation appointment so you can be ready to see one of our marijuana professionals at your appointment time.

Why Should I Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Virginia in 2022?

There are numerous benefits to having a Virginia marijuana card. Some of the benefits can be seen below.

  • Employee protections were passed in 2021 that give patients protection against employer discrimination in most cases.

  • Possession limits for botanical cannabis for patients are 4 ounces per 30 day period.

  • Patients are allowed a 90-day supply of marijuana products at a time.

  • Access to Virginia marijuana dispensaries where cannabis products can be purchased

  • Know what is in your natural marijuana products because Virginia requires independent laboratory testing of call cannabis products sold at the state-licensed cannabis dispensaries.

  • Some primary care providers also prefer their patients have a medical marijuana card if they are using marijuana regularly to treat a medical condition.

These are just a few of the reasons why residents of Virginia should get a Virginia marijuana card in 2022.

Can I Use my Virginia Marijuana Card in Other States?

Yes, there are many states that have marijuana reciprocity laws, including Washington DC. Other states are beginning to establish their own medical marijuana programs, such as North Carolina. While we always recommend purchasing your medicinal marijuana products from Virginia marijuana dispensaries, many of our patients like that their Virginia marijuana card provides a lot of flexibility while traveling to other states that have these marijuana reciprocity programs.

What is the Cost of a Medical Marijuana Card in Virginia?

The cost of getting your Virginia marijuana card at CannabisMD TeleMed is very low when compared to many of our competitors. Our pricing ranges from $85 to $99 for the cannabis evaluation with our marijuana doctor, and this pricing includes all documents needed by the state so you can apply for your Virginia marijuana card with the state. Patients will be required to pay a $50 fee when they submit their application to the state, which must be paid by the patient.

If you run into any problems while applying for your Virginia marijuana card or need any additional support after receiving your cannabis card, then we are just a text, phone call, or email away. When you choose CannabisMD TeleMed for your marijuana healthcare needs, you become part of our family, which comes with many benefits, such as follow-up care at no additional cost.

Virginia Medical Marijuana Cards and Federal Employees

Federal employees are currently prohibited from using marijuana in any form because it is still listed as a Schedule I controlled substance. However, there is proposed legislation that could allow federal employees to utilize medical marijuana without fear of reprisal. HR 1687 is a bipartisan initiative that could allow federal employees to participate in state-approved marijuana programs if it passes.

Recent American Legion polls show that 20% of veterans use marijuana to help the symptoms of an underlying medical condition. Hopefully, in time federal employees will be able to share in the natural benefits of marijuana to alleviate the symptoms of their medical conditions.

Veterans and First Responders Virginia Marijuana Card Discounts

CannabisMD TeleMed believes in supporting those who serve our community which is why CannabisMD TeleMed offers discounts to veterans and first responders that are looking to get their Virginia marijuana cards. Many of our veterans are worried about losing their benefits if they use medical marijuana, but this is not the case. The government has explicitly stated that veterans will not be denied benefits because of marijuana use.

What should veterans know about the VA and marijuana use?

  • The VA actually encourages veterans to discuss marijuana use with their providers because the more knowledge their doctors have, the better patient care they can provide

  • VA clinicians are not able to recommend medical marijuana, but they are allowed to discuss their patient's marijuana use.

  • VA clinicians will not assist with the paperwork to help veterans get access to state-approved marijuana programs. This is not an issue with CannabisMD TeleMed because we help all of our patients throughout the entire process so they can get their marijuana card in a few simple steps.

  • VA will not pay for medical marijuana purchased by their patients.

  • VA pharmacies will not fill medical marijuana prescriptions.

  • Possession of marijuana is still prohibited on VA grounds.

If you are a veteran or first responder and feel you could benefit from marijuana, then please schedule an appointment with our marijuana providers by clicking on the Schedule Online Appointment button below.
