It was once that to obtain a Texas marijuana card; you had to visit your doctor. Next, you would need to go to the provider’s office to get your examination. This will allow you to register as a legal-approved patient in Texas and receive your marijuana card.
That was how it used to be. But no longer.
Now you can apply for a medical card online.
Even in these times of the COVID panic, it can have a dramatic impact on safety and health. It can help reduce anxiety and panic. Even in the most desperate of circumstances, it could make all the difference between life and death.
Smart Apps and Telemedicine
The first post-COVID adaption of the medical marijuana card application system was a shift in states from requiring in-person evaluations to allowing remote medicine evaluations. As the pandemic progresses, the process of obtaining a medical card for marijuana has evolved beyond simple telemedicine appointments.
Today, the smart application we’ve created can be used to collect all information that Texas requires to file its medical marijuana card application. The app places you into a virtual waiting space to wait for the next physician to join you over video. The doctor you choose will be licensed to recommend medical marijuana to Texas patients.
