The Status of Oklahoma’s Rapidly Growing Medical Marijuana Program

In the digital age, more services are being created to alleviate the stresses of modern life. These include a rise in online services that are able to contend with physical ones. Consider companies like Amazon versus Walmart, Wag versus walking your dog, and Netflix versus Blockbuster. Modern convenience seems to be the choice of millions. This does not just stop at entertainment, shopping, or physical activity. Companies now exist that allow a potential patient to see a doctor online. In the medical cannabis world, this is huge because of its sensitive nature.

Many medical marijuana patients in Oklahoma are finding it easier to use online services to get their card. This is part of a growing trend across the nation as more states are legalizing medical cannabis. Companies, such as Veriheal, fill the gap between patient and card access by providing assistance, online physician consultations, and more!

According to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), more than 160,000 applications have been approved as of July 15, 2019. This includes patients, caregivers, cultivators, and dispensaries. Many were made possible by using online services.

The Benefits of Using Online Medical Services

There are indisputable benefits when choosing an online service to apply for a medical marijuana card. One of these benefits is maximized privacy. Applying for this card may be something that you wish to keep strictly confidential. When you do it online, you can stay at home and take care of your business without worry because it’s only between you and the doctor.

Furthermore, the time commitment is much less for online consultations. Most appointments last for about 10 to 15 minutes. This is significantly less in comparison to what it takes to go to a physical appointment. You end up getting in your car, driving in traffic across town to your doctor’s office, checking in, dealing with a wait time, seeing a nurse, then waiting again for the doctor, only to finally be seen for 10 minutes. Sitting in the comfort of your home is unquestionably more convenient than leaving the house for such a minor visitation.

This is especially beneficial to those with disabilities that limit their movement or transport. Those with such qualifying conditions will find great relief in knowing that medical marijuana consultations can be done without having to engage in a potentially painful situation.

The Application Process

When you are ready to proceed with the process of getting your medical marijuana card, visit Veriheal and we’ll help you book an appointment with a qualified doctor in Oklahoma. After your consultation, you will need to register online with OMMA. This is as easy as filling out a form, providing proof of residency, and a digital photo of yourself that was taken recently. The fees for the OMMA application are $100 for a 2-year license or $20 for patients that can provide proof of Medicaid/Medicare or veteran status. Once approved, the last step is to wait approximately 14 days for your card to arrive. Then you will be able to purchase at any of the state-licensed dispensaries. If you need a caregiver, the process is much the same in regards to the information that must be provided. The only difference is that caregivers will need to fill out a separate caregiver designation form and will not need to pay the application fee. 

If you live in Oklahoma and you are considering a medical marijuana card, do not hesitate to seek as much knowledge about the subject as possible. A well-informed choice about the future of your medical care will pay off in the long run. Quick decisions based on emotion or pressure will not last; those built on research, inquiries, and patience will open up new doors to better tomorrows.
