When the time comes, you can visit us online to screen medical marijuana doctors and schedule an appointment for a marijuana treatment evaluation. Patients should be prepared to provide a recent copy of their medical records and a valid identification card and to discuss their medical concerns with a qualified medical marijuana physician. Certification from a licensed physician is necessary for patients to apply to the medical marijuana program in their state.
Medical marijuana treatment consultations are fast and convenient. Our licensed medical marijuana providers provide certifications for most medical conditions. Patients complete their evaluations and receive their medical marijuana certifications in less than 30 minutes.
Once approved, patients can submit their applications to the state. Approved applicants will receive a physical card by postal mail. Patients can visit any state-licensed dispensary of their choice in North Carolina after they receive their medical marijuana cards. North Carolina patients must see a licensed physician to renew their medical marijuana certifications. Marijuana Doctors sends notifications for renewal consultations prior to expiration to help patients avoid treatment interruptions.
The process of issuing medical cards to North Carolina patients is still to be determined. But many states allow patients to download and print their medical card for temporary use, until the permanent card arrives in the mail. That means patients can visit a dispensary sooner.
Bring your medical card, and government-issued ID to the dispensary. You will need both forms of identification to visit a North Carolina dispensary and buy marijuana products. If your medical card or photo identification is expired, you will not be permitted to purchase at the dispensary.
Not only can North Carolina patients save money as they are not taxed for medical marijuana, but there are also other ways your medical card can save you money. Many dispensaries provide discount days throughout the week.
When the lockdown happened, stores closed. But two types of businesses (pharmacy and dispensary) were designated an "essential service" in legalized states. That mean that they could stay open and serve patients. North Carolina Patients with health needs always come first.
The North Carolina Medical Cannabis Advisory Board established that doctors must have a bona fide relationship with the patient. That means you will need to schedule more than one appointment with the physician for your medical card health evaluation (G.S. 90-113.116). And follow-up appointments to review changing health conditions or symptoms.
Once you get your North Carolina medical card, don't forget to renew it! There will be an expiration date that you can see on the front of your card. It can take time to get a doctor's appointment for your health check. Don't let your North Carolina MMJ card expire. The current proposed cost of renewal is $50.00.
