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 then provide a written recommendation for medical cannabis.

  3. Get Your Medical Card

    Once you have the recommendation from a West Virginia medical marijuana doctor, you must gain approval from the state before visiting a dispensary. Once approved, you can download a digital copy of your MMJ card from the state website. The approval process takes 30-60 days, and the card validates for one year. You can use that to visit West Virginia dispensaries and purchase medicinal cannabis products.

And That's It!
