Patients with qualifying conditions in the state of Ohio can go through the process to obtain a medical card. Also known as a medical marijuana card or an MMJ card, this card must be presented to purchase medical marijuana from a dispensary in the state.
Ohio requires all patients to see a medical marijuana doctor. However, patients can work with their medical marijuana doctor using statewide telemedicine services. This means the patient does not have to go into the doctor’s office but rather can speak with the doctor from the comfort of their own home or office.
Qualifying Conditions
Many different medical and psychological conditions qualify for a recommendation for medical marijuana. These include Alzheimer’s, hepatitis C, PTSD, chronic muscle spasms, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and seizure disorders, terminal illnesses, and many other conditions. In addition, medical marijuana doctors can make a recommendation for diseases of the same kind and class
Pre-Qualification Exam Available
Taking an online pre-qualification exam makes it easy for patients to know if they have a potential pre-qualifying condition. Patients need to answer a few basic questions, including personal identification questions and choosing the appropriate diagnosed condition.
Refund of Exam Fees if You Do Not Qualify
The best services helping patients to get a medical card provide a refund for the cost of the medical marijuana doctor appointment if the patient does not qualify. However, by completing the pre-qualification exam, most patients will qualify for a medical card at their appointment.
