Preparing for Your Telehealth Visit: What Technology Do You Need?
Connecting with your clinician is simple and straightforward. When you schedule your appointment, you receive a secure, private video link via email and text. There is no software to install or complicated account setup. You simply click the link on your smartphone, tablet, or computer when your appointment time arrives.
What Questions Does the Clinician Ask?
Our licensed Massachusetts clinicians conduct thoughtful, supportive medical reviews. Common discussion topics include: 1) What primary health symptoms or conditions are you seeking to manage? 2) How long have you experienced these symptoms and how do they impact your daily life, work, or sleep? 3) What past medications or treatments have you tried? 4) Do you have prior experience with cannabis, and what has your response been?
Do You Need to Upload Stacks of Medical Records?
While you are welcome to upload existing medical summaries, prescription labels, or doctor notes if you have them, **extensive medical records are not mandatory** for most adults. Under Massachusetts law, your clinician conducts an independent clinical evaluation of your symptoms, onset, and functional challenges during your live consultation.
Personalized Education and Safe Product Guidance
A key benefit of a clinical evaluation is receiving professional guidance tailored to your health goals. Your clinician discusses cannabinoid ratios (such as balanced 1:1 CBD:THC), daytime vs. nighttime products, non-smokable delivery formats (like sublingual drops, transdermal patches, and capsules), and methods to prevent unwanted side effects.
🏛️ Official Commonwealth Regulatory Framework
All medical cannabis evaluations are conducted by Massachusetts-licensed healthcare providers in strict compliance with M.G.L. c. 94I and Cannabis Control Commission regulations (935 CMR 501.000).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fail a medical marijuana evaluation?
Evaluations are clinical assessments, not tests. If a clinician determines that medical cannabis is contraindicated for your medical history, you will be informed compassionately and receive an immediate 100% refund of your $50 fee.
What if I don't have experience with cannabis?
That is completely fine! Many of our patients are first-time cannabis consumers. Our clinicians take extra time to explain low-dose options, tinctures, and safe starting protocols.
How soon after the visit am I certified?
Our administrative team enters your certification into the Massachusetts state MMJOS registry within 3 hours of your approved evaluation.
What is the total visit fee?
Our fee is a flat $50 with zero hidden charges. The state of Massachusetts charges $0 for patient registration.
