Getting Medical Document
To receive a recommendation for medical cannabis you must be assessed by a licensed healthcare practitioner. Once assessed, the practitioner will determine if you are a good candidate for medical cannabis treatment. If you are approved they will issue a medical document.
Yes.
Typically, the first medical document will be for approximately 3 months. This allows you to test the treatment and ensure it works for you. After that you will need to return to renew your document and so the healthcare practitioner can evaluate how the treatment is working. After that, if the treatment is working, the medical document will typically be renewed for 6 months to 1 year.

We offer consultations with our clinic partner HelloMD free of charge for new and renewing patients.
To renew your medical document, simply navigate to the Appointments Page , sign in to your account, and select “Online Appointment”. You’ll then be directed to HelloMD’s appointment booking page where you provide personal details (if necessary) and select an appointment time that works for your schedule.
You will receive a confirmation email from HelloMD detailing your online consultation, with instructions on how and when to attend your appointment with a physician/nurse practitioner.
