Medical Marijuana Tele-Health Appointments Now Available for Those with Qualifying Symptoms

Ever since the medical marijuana program was successfully launched last year, the practice of telemedicine has been banned. Tele-Health Appointments allow patients to receive the recommendation they need without seeing their doctors face-to-face. The practice allows for the use of a phone conversation and a video chat to better understand what the patient needs.

As the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to increase, public safety is still the number one priority. Before the global pandemic, patients who did not previously have an Ohio MMJ card were unable to qualify for one, even if they experienced pre-approved conditions but were unable to physically meet with a doctor. This was because the state’s regulations at that time required a face-to-face meeting with a doctor to be recommended an MMJ card.

The New Tele-Health Option for medical marijuana is part of Ohio’s emergency response to COVID-19. At this time, no end date has been assigned to telehealth. It will be up to the state to determine if the tele-health option for MMJ cards should remain in effect. This new digital meeting for qualified MMJ patients ensures those with compromised immune systems remain safe.

With the new tele-health option for medical marijuana recommendations, it truly has never been easier to obtain your MMJ card. You no longer need to visit the location nearest you. Rather, you only need to review the list of Qualifying Conditions and schedule your virtual appointment.  It truly is that simple!

This order could be beneficial even after in the post COVID-19 era, as some patients are susceptible to more than just a global virus. The situation will continue to be monitored and services will be updated accordingly to meet the state of Ohio’s regulations.
