How It Works

  1. Book Your Appointment

    Skip the wait at the doctor’s office and schedule your evaluation from the comfort and convenience of your home. Submit an intake form with a few personal details and a summary of your medical history; then, we’ll help you book an on-demand telehealth appointment or schedule a convenient time for later.

  2. Match with a Licensed Doctor

    Connect with the right doctor in minutes and easily chat with your provider on a smartphone, computer, or tablet via phone call or video. Our licensed physicians will evaluate your qualifying condition, address your questions and concerns, and recommend medical marijuana via email.

  3. Get Your Medical Card

    Louisiana Medical Marijuana Laws do not require patients to register for or possess a medical marijuana card. The recommending physician will fax patient certifications to the dispensary of your choice. Then, when you go to the designated Louisiana dispensaries, the staff will verify your recommendation in a Prescription Monitoring Program database and provide medical education on cannabis if requested.

And That's It!
