Medical Marijuana in New York
In 2016, New York expanded their medical marijuana program. The New York State Department of Health made significant changes to streamline the process that practitioners utilize to register for the medical marijuana program. Since recent, practitioners can register online with the NY Department and certify patients on that same day. Before the process had automation, it could take up to several days for practitioner registrations to be completed. But now, patients can go through Veriheal and book an appointment to get certified to use cannabis legally.

Consult With a NY Practitioner Online – When you’re ready for your appointment, you can use your computer to speak with a doctor who will consult with you and get an understanding of how to best treat your conditions. This consultation usually takes 10-15 minutes.

You receive an instant certification and next steps on how to get your medical marijuana card through the state.
