Until recently in spite of clear and undisputable benefits from marijuana this drug has been vilified and continued to be available extensively underground throughout the country. There have been numerous incidents of many people who have been self-medicating by procuring this medicine from unknown drug peddlers and dark web. Individuals who procure marijuana from unknown sources tries to treat their condition without checks and balances, and there had been no clear channels through which one can be assured of the source, type and quality of the marijuana available on the streets,
No questions, there are concerns about the effects on an individual’s history, if they were found positive for marijuana. In spite of a lot of discussion about liberalizing the use of this drug. Yet it still remains a matter of concern for the prospective employment opportunity and exclusion from one’s current job if they were to be found positive.
So, keeping this in mind it is necessary to discuss and explain the whole procedure to procure medical marijuana through legal means. In sates which have legalised marijuana for medicinal use, an individual can get medical marijuana certification from a certified medical provider. This certification needs an assessment by the physician. The client will undergo evaluation and has to give description of medical reasons to support and validate the use of medical marijuana. Once the evaluation is completed by the medical provider the report is then submitted to the respective state offices, where they will go through the submitted reports and validate the documents.
This process approximately takes 4 to 6 weeks of time before the concerned state department certifies and individual and provides them with a card as a token of certification.
Medical Marijuana is now legally obtained through registered dispensaries located within the sate region where the obtained certification stands legal. There are several different strains of medical marijuana available that an individual can legally procure and these dispensaries are regulated by the state board authorities.
For a client who wants to use medical marijuana as a treatment option it is the safest route, from initially finding a certified medical provider to finally obtaining the medical marijuana from a certified dispensary. This avoids any uncertainty and clear out any legal hurdles which a client/individual might face if they try to procure this medicine illegally.
