Marijuana-Based Therapy

    We recognize that marijuana-based therapies are often able to replace more traditional forms of treatment and help negate the use of opioids and other addictive substances which often can lead to a drug overdose. As a natural medicine, marijuana can ease anxiety, pain, insomnia, nausea, and tremors related to qualifying conditions. Qualifying conditions vary in each state. At National Medical Marijuana Card Services, we believe connecting medical marijuana patients and caregivers with medical marijuana doctors and providing evaluation and recommendation to obtain a medical marijuana card, ultimately, helps increase a marijuana patient’s quality of life.

    National Medical Marijuana Card Services provides knowledge and the basic steps necessary to obtain a medical marijuana card in marijuana legal states. We also provide a simple way for patients to view marijuana dispensaries nearby who are licensed to sell medical marijuana. In most legal marijuana states, to become a legal registered medical marijuana patient, you must be added to the Compassionate Use Registry in your state. Please note to be in possession of medical marijuana, patients and caregivers must maintain an active medical marijuana card if required in their state.

    Medical Records

    Before your appointment for a medical marijuana evaluation and certification, you must obtain and provide a copy of your medical records which indicate your diagnosis. We offer you a convenient way to upload your medical records to a secure electronic medical records (EMR) platform. Without this documentation, the doctor will be unable to review and recommend medical marijuana treatment for you.

    Indica vs Sativa, CBD vs THC. Which one is right for me?

    It is important medical marijuana patients and caregivers be able to determine the marijuana-based medicine that best meets their medical needs. The National Marijuana Card Services platform enables patients to journal their medicinal experiences with various marijuana types to determine which strains, indica vs. sativa, formulation ratios, CBD vs THC, and delivery methods suit them best. When taking marijuana-based medicines for the first time, lower dosing often allows patients to examine the effects of the medicine before transitioning to higher doses.
