Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your medical marijuana card renewed so you can quickly regain access to the care you need.

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility

First things first, make sure you're still eligible. Eligibility requirements haven't changed, so if you qualified once, chances are you’re good to go again! Just ensure you still meet the requirements set by the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority (VCCA) – which now handles the medical cannabis program. And don’t worry; we can help walk you through this part if you’re uncertain!

Step 2: Schedule Your Renewal Appointment

Alright, here’s where CannabisMD TeleMed comes in handy. Even if your certification expires, you can easily renew it by scheduling a quick appointment with one of our licensed physicians. Yep, it’s that simple! With us, everything happens online, so you don’t need to leave home or rearrange your whole schedule. Just choose a time that works for you, hop on the call, and our doctors will guide you through the process. No need to wait in line or deal with confusing paperwork!

Step 3: Get Your Written Certification

Here’s the best part: Virginia has done away with a lot of the extra steps for medical marijuana patients. You no longer need to submit an application to the state or even register with the Board of Pharmacy. As long as you have your written certification, you’re good to go! Once our doctor verifies everything during your appointment, they’ll provide you with this certification. That’s it—no extra forms, no confusing bureaucracy. Your written certification is all you need to access medical cannabis in Virginia.

Step 4: Keep Your Certification Handy

Once you’ve got your updated written certification, you’re all set to visit dispensaries in Virginia again. Just keep that certification with you as proof whenever you buy. It’s that easy! And remember, if you renew with CannabisMD TeleMed, we’re here to answer any follow-up questions, whether it’s about where to shop or how often to renew.

Some Extra Tips for Late Renewals

1. Set a Reminder for Next Year: We all get busy, so try setting a calendar alert or reminder for next year’s renewal. It’ll help you avoid the stress of scrambling at the last minute!

2. Check for Updated Laws: Cannabis laws in Virginia change from time to time. When you renew, it’s a good idea to check if there have been any recent updates. Right now, the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority is in charge, but who knows what might change down the road?
