Veteran and First Responders Medical Marijuana Certificate

How Can Veterans and First Responders Get Medical Marijuana?

At CannabisMD TeleMed we believe in giving back to our heroes who have given so much to our communities. To this end we have special discounts available to Veterans and First Responders. We never require any referrals which is great news to our veterans because doctors at Veterans Affairs cannot refer patients for medical cannabis due to its legal classification on the federal level.

The cannabis doctors on our platform can establish medical records for you during your appointment and can also immediately issue a medical marijuana certificate by email during your online telehealth appointment.

How Do Veterans Benefit from Medical Marijuana?

Many of our veterans who served in the armed forces suffer from Post traumatic stress disorder also known as PTSD. Many patients report that using medical cannabis helps with live with their PTSD.

Another common medical condition that afflicts our veterans and first responders is anxiety, depression, insomnia, and chronic pain. All of these conditions could qualify patients for medical marijuana treatment. Once you get certified by a marijuana doctor you will be able to submit the certificate to the Virginia Board of Pharmacy so you can receive your Virginia medical marijuana card. UPDATE: registering with the Virginia Board of Pharmacy is no longer required in Virginia. This means you can go straight to the medical marijuana dispensary after your appointment as soon as the doctor emails the medical cannabis certificate.

Once you receive your electronic copy of your medical marijuana card from the Board of Pharmacy by email you can take the cannabis certificate that you receive from the physician, your medical marijuana card (MMJ Card), photo ID, and cash to any state-licensed dispensary to purchase a wide variety of medicinal marijuana products.

How Much Medical Marijuana Can I Buy at Once?

Most Virginia marijuana dispensaries allow patients to purchase up to a 90 day supply of medical marijuana at once time. What constitutes a 90 day supply varies slightly from one medical cannabis dispensary to the next but we have not heard of any patients running into issues where they were not able to purchase enough medicinal marijuana to treat the symptoms of their medical condition.

If you have questions about how much you can purchase at a specific dispensary then we recommend calling the marijuana dispensary directly so you can get the most accurate information.

How to Order Medical Marijuana Online

The majority of marijuana dispensaries in Virginia also offer the option for patients to order their medical marijuana online from the comfort and safety of their home. These dispensaries will hand deliver your cannabis products directly to your home if you live within their delivery window. If you have questions about whether or not the medical marijuana dispensary near you offers online ordering and home delivery then please give them a call.

All medical marijuana dispensaries in Virginia have licensed pharmacists that are knowledgeable about medical marijuana and the specific products sold at their locations. The pharmacists at these dispensaries can be a great asset when it comes to finding the strain of medical marijuana that works best for you. If you have ever have any questions the marijuana doctor is available seven days a week to take calls and conduct follow-up appointments at no additional cost.
