People are visiting medical marijuana clinics more frequently now that there are fewer requirements to obtain it than previously, according to gLeaf.
The new law states that in order to obtain a medical cannabis card, you are no longer required to register with the Board of Pharmacy. Now all you need to do is obtain a written certification from a medical professional. People won’t have to wait weeks or months for approval thanks to the change.
Every week, scores of patients who are attempting to complete the registration process contact us. Therefore, this is a tremendous advance that will greatly simplify the procedure for people seeking to acquire medical marijuana in Virginia, according to JM Pedini, executive director of Virginia NORML.
The shift, according to medical marijuana businesses, is beneficial to them. Prior to the legal change, gLeaf increased staff and purchased more items.
According to Joy Strand, executive vice president of Green Leaf Medical, “people are taking advantage of the new law and making things easier, more effective, more streamlined, and less expensive for patients to attend the program.”
On Friday, there were already sizable crowds outside the dispensary eager to enter.
“More patients in the program is better for all of the processors, but the real winners in this are the patients since they have to go through less red tape to get enrolled into the program,” Strand said.
Due to a new rule that became effective on Friday, having more than 4 ounces of marijuana in public would now be considered a criminal offense.
