For some people, heading to the doctor’s office is no big deal. But, for others, the trip can be inconvenient — even anxiety-inducing. That’s why, when it comes to medical marijuana, MMJ telemedicine is becoming more people’s top choice every day.
Let’s go over five reasons why people are falling in love with telemedicine appointments for medical marijuana card approvals.
What is MMJ Telemedicine?
MMJ telemedicine refers to the practice of getting your medical marijuana (MMJ) recommendation or certification over the phone or computer. The process of meeting with the doctor is entirely online.
While telemedicine, as a whole, has been around for a little while now, its popularity exploded during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. When people couldn’t leave their homes but still needed to see their physicians, telehealth appointments were the way to go.
Now, people continue to see their popularity — especially in the cannabis space.
Instead of having to travel across town to a doctor’s office you’ve never been to before, telemedicine appointments allow you to have this experience in the comfort of your home.
But, before we talk too much about them, let’s discuss some of the biggest reasons why you should turn to MMJ telemedicine.
5 Reasons to Turn to MMJ Telemedicine
If you were to ask us, we’d say there are at least a thousand reasons to turn to MMJ telemedicine when you aren’t sure where to go with your health and wellness. But, that would make way too long of an article.
So, let’s talk about the five biggest reasons why people every day are turning to MMJ telemedicine for their minds and bodies.
5. You don’t have to leave home!
First and foremost, one of the best things about MMJ telemedicine appointments is the fact that you don’t have to leave home.
There’s no sitting around in waiting rooms, filling out check-in paperwork at the door, or even driving to the nearest town. Instead, you can stay cozy and comfy right from the house.
In general, this makes cannabis a lot more accessible. Previous to telehealth appointments, those in rural areas or people with disabilities didn’t have a smooth time getting to these rare MMJ doctor’s appointments. And, they lasted a long time.
At Elevate Holistics, you can take your appointment from your phone or computer — whatever’s easier! And, we’ll only take about 15 minutes of your time. This means there is no disruption to your busy schedule.
4. Medical marijuana products are extremely versatile.
MMJ telemedicine appointments are key to getting your hands on the medical marijuana products you deserve. If you live in a state where only medical cannabis is legal, this process is the only way you get to enjoy this special green plant.
Medical cannabis dispensaries will open your eyes to the sheer versatility that marijuana has. For example, you’ll get to explore different cannabinoid options, including CBD which won’t get you high! Instead, it’s a purely therapeutic compound.
You will also see all of the different ways you can consume medical cannabis. Of course, there will be plenty of joint and flower options; however, you can also try edibles, topicals, tinctures, suppositories, and more.
This kind of plant-based versatility can open up brand-new doors to healthy, alternative living.
3. You’ll get additional cannabis resources after your telehealth appointment.
When you book your MMJ telemedicine appointment with Elevate Holistics, you unlock a lot more than just a medical cannabis recommendation.
Our company is happy to offer additional resources to help ensure that you’re comfortable and knowledgeable about all things cannabis.
From our full-service add-on that allows our experts to register you with the state so you don’t have to, to our complete cannabis e-book that comes with your booking, Elevate Holistics goes above and beyond.
2. MMJ telemedicine grants you more privacy than ever.
While doctor’s appointments are private in and of themselves, there’s nothing that feels more comfortable than being in the privacy of your own home.
With your MMJ telemedicine appointment, you don’t have to worry about the others in your home, as you can simply go to a quiet space and conduct your booking there. This is important because they will ask you questions regarding medical history and any debilitating conditions.
Elevate Holistics follows strict privacy measures to ensure that all of your information stays safe and sound. If you ever have any questions about our privacy policy or regulations, you can reach out.
1. You’ll save a ton of money!
Arguably, one of the biggest — and best — benefits of having a medical marijuana card is saving money.
If you live in a state that has both medical and recreational cannabis, having your MMJ card will make your purchases more affordable. This is because medical patients are not subject to the same high taxes as recreational marijuana.
For example, if a medical marijuana patient buys an eighth, and a recreational consumer buys the exact same eighth, the patient will end up with a lower total overall. This is because the tax rates are lower — and most dispensaries offer additional discounts just for being a cardholder.
And, if you live in a medical-only state, having a medical marijuana card allows you to indulge in dispensaries’ unique daily deals and a wide array of affordable products — much more than what illegal markets have to offer.
Trust us: you won’t believe how much money you make being a legal patient versus not.
