Have you ever wondered how to get your New York medical marijuana card online? Luckily, we live in an age where this is an actual possibility. While services streamlining the process exist, one that stands out is PrestoDoctor. PrestoDoctor distinguishes itself by not only providing online evaluations and recommendations but also custom tailoring treatment plans for medical marijuana patients. And now they\u2019ve officially expanded to New York.<\/p>\n

MMJ In NY<\/h2>\n

Last year, New York finally got its very own\u00a0medical marijuana program<\/a>. Potential patients had high hopes for it.<\/p>\n

However, the program has, thus far, been\u00a0less than ideal for the majority of those who would benefit from the plant.<\/a>\u00a0The qualifying conditions to get medical marijuana in New York are quite limited. They include HIV\/AIDS, cancer, Parkinson\u2019s disease, ALS, Huntington\u2019s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, epilepsy, neuropathy, spinal cord injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain.<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0reason\u00a0why the New York medical marijuana program has been so unsatisfactory?<\/p>\n

The limited forms of cannabis that the state has legalized for medicinal purposes. At the moment, medical marijuana patients may only purchase cannabis capsules, oils for vaporizing and tinctures. Plus, there\u2019s the additional challenge of finding a doctor in the state to recommend medical marijuana.<\/p>\n

But a service called\u00a0PrestoDoctor<\/a>\u00a0is about to change all of that.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

<\/i>\u00a0PrestoDoctor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So what is PrestoDoctor?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an online medical marijuana recommendation service that has been rated #1 by their tens of thousands of patients. The company\u2019s co-founder, Kyle Powers, made\u00a0such an impact<\/a>through PrestoDoctor that\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0named him in their 30 Under 30 in Healthcare list for 2018.<\/p>\n

Their services include a video conference-style appointment with one of their qualified and licensed doctors. During your appointment, the doctor will evaluate you and make a medical marijuana recommendation based on your unique needs. But what truly makes PrestoDoctor unique is that they even customize\u00a0treatment plans for their\u00a0patients. You don\u2019t even have to leave your house!<\/p>\n

Thanks\u00a0to the New York State Telehealth Amendment Act of 2015, PrestoDoctor has now officially expanded its services to the state. Most doctors in the state up-charge for medical marijuana evaluations. But because it exists in the digital realm, PrestoDoctor is able to offer\u00a0affordable, accessible services. The process of how to get your New York medical marijuana card online just got a million times easier.<\/p>\n

    The Opioid Epidemic<\/h2>\n

    In addition to making medical marijuana more accessible for New Yorkers, PrestoDoctor has announced their commitment to taking on the opioid epidemic\u2014particularly in New York. Because many of the qualifying conditions in the state traditionally get prescriptions for opioid medications, PrestoDoctor aims to educate the public on using cannabis as an equally effective alternative.<\/p>\n

    The co-founder and COO of PrestoDoctor, Robert Tankson, weighed in on the matter.<\/p>\n

    \u201cNew York is a heavily populated area and many people within that population struggle with opioid addiction. It is PrestoDoctor\u2019s ultimate goal, and plan, to bring safer medical treatment options to the people of New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Safer medical treatment options seem to be a running theme with PrestoDoctor. The primary stated goal of the service, after all, is amping up the accessibility of medical cannabis,\u00a0empowering patients who use it and educating those who are interested in it.
