Medical Marijuana Certification for qualifying patients began as a necessity. Cannabis is still illegal federally, yet many states have legalized it for medical usage with a few states approving laws for recreational use.

With anything new, there is good and bad. Some in the industry are not providing a quality service and are certifying patients unscrupulously without regard to their safety or needs. This article will explore some common pitfalls to avoid. It will become apparent to you that choosing your medical marijuana practitioner wisely is important.

The Business of Medical Marijuana

In 2014, the Cannabis Career Institute offered a ten-hour crash course. About 150 participants paid $299 per person to learn legal loopholes like putting “dispensing medicine” or “home pain remedies” on any public advertising. Cut-rate services may to very little to actually ensuring you get the results you are looking for.

In New York, a lot of work has gone into setting up a reputable way to get safe medical marijuana products to the needy public.

As the industry matured from 2012, various states approved legislation in favor of legalizing medical marijuana. Every diagnosis for a qualifying illness must be reviewed by a trained medical marijuana practitioner who has passed exams and received state licensing.  You want to work with a practitioner who has an established practice to ensure you are entrusting your care to a bonafide practitioner. Reviews online will show the true ratings of a practitioner. Read several reviews and get an idea of the kind of care you will receive.

Rubber Stamp or Well-thought Out Recommendations ?

Some MMJ recommendation businesses are run by larger companies and the advice and guidance you get with your qualifying appointment maybe little to none. They may meet the minimum obligations but there is a better way. It’s called personal care and a strong ethic to ensure results are programmed in the recommendation.
