Cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, which means that it cannot be shipped across state lines; you will need to buy cannabis in the state where you're located. \n\nAt this time, we provide doctor and nurse consultation services for patients in California and New York. There are number of resources on HelloMD that you can take advantage of, even if you're not in either of those states. You can post medical questions free of charge on our Answers feed and have doctors and/or community members answer it.

We recommend you call ahead, and ask if they are require an 'embossed stamp' on the recommendation.\n\nDelivery services are often more flexible with the PDF copy. If you need to find a dispensary or delivery service in your area, please check here: www.hellomd.com/biz\n\n*Note that there is nothing in CA law that requires the embossed version. This is an individual requirement of the dispensaries themselves.\n\nIf you have not received your embossed recommendation and photo ID card in the mail, please use the Live Chat bubble (the blue and white circle on the bottom) on our website to get in touch with our Customer Service team.

I am in a state where it is not legal and I have no insurance but considering naltrexone. Any guidance on obtaining would be appreciated. \"\n_____________________\nLots of doctors prescribe Naltrexone so the first place to start would be your own PCP.\nIf you do not have insurance coverage for medication please consider www.blankhealth.com\nWhen I have had to purchase prescription medications they have saved me 95% but that is not the only prescription deal out there. Good luck in your quest to have a sober life, life really is worth living.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nBesides Dr. Olson's excellent suggestions, I would also look for county agencies (a quick online search should yield phone #'s and contact info) for free/ low cost health care and resources; it may take some digging though but keep up the persistence.  I would also try local AA chapters as they might also have other state/ local agencies and other potential resources for someone in recovery.

Should I vape or nebulize CBD oil?","slug":"i-have-pulmonary-fibrosis-should-i-vape-or-nebulize-cbd-oil","content":"\"Which method is better for my lungs?\"\n_____________________\nSo far, I have not had a patient with Pulmonary fibrosis that was willing to try vaping CBD oil. \nI cannot tell you to do it because it would be purely experimental but to me it makes sense that you want to reduce the inflammation. Since you can reduce inflammation by taking the CBD tinctures orally or as a spray in the mouth, I would certainly consider starting with an oral administration of CBD oil with low THC, in a tincture form to reduce the inflammation in order to reduce any lung reaction when you start to vape the medicine. If you do try to vape the medicine, start with very little puffs and slowly increase your dosing, not the puff size. \nPlease, let us know how your body and lungs respond to this if you are willing to be experimental and try the vape with your pulmonary problems. Vaping CBD oil is unlikely to carry significant risks but it may help stop the inflammation causing the fibrosis but you must be aware this is not a recommended treatment, it is totally experimental meaning you must do this on your own. Please, talk with your pulmonologist. \nMost of the information I can find is in regards to asthmatics smoking THC but your problem is not asthma and THC may help with bronchospasm and helps with increased bronchodilatation and modestly improved respiratory function, smoking contains noxious gases that irritate and damage the respiratory system so do not smoke your cannabis. \nCBD oil without THC may not be as effective since the CBD reduces inflammation and the THC as stated above would also provide some benefits.\nGood luck with this disease, it is a difficult one to treat but again, if you should decide to try cannabis please, let us know how you are doing since we are all interested in helping you be successful in restoring your health and quality to your life in spite of this disease.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10197-markdown","title":"Can I verify my HelloMD ID card here?","slug":"can-i-verify-my-hellomd-id-card-here","content":"\n_____________________\nYou can verify it by visiting our webpage and entering in your patient ID number: https://www.hellomd.com/verify\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10107-markdown","title":"How does a company appear on the HelloMD website?

Now she's freaked out. Please provide some background on what circumstances would cause a heart attack.\"\n_____________________\nHeart attacks are generally caused by cardiovascular disease that has caused plaquing in the arteries and when a piece of plaque breaks away it can lodge in one of the arteries feeding the heart with oxygen and nutrients. When the plaque blocks the artery the heart muscle no longer receives the necessary oxygen and that part of the heart muscle dies often causing severe pain and a very dangerous irregular heartbeat that can cause the heart to stop beating and we call this a heart attack.\nThere was one study along time ago that said people were more likely to have a heart attack within 24 hours of using cannabis but very few other variables were even looked that in that study. In other words we also know that the most prevalent time for heart attacks to occur is Monday morning when people are returning to work after a weekend. \nThese kind of studies only point out that we need more studies with better control over variables such as cigarette smoking, stress, anger and anxiety, lack of sleep and vitamin D deficiency. Having high blood pressure alone increases the risk of heart attack with or without cannabis. She may want to look into using CBD with a low THC.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9820-markdown","title":"How do I get a California state medical ID card?","slug":"how-do-i-get-a-california-state-medical-id-card","content":"\"I have a card from HelloMD. Can I use that to get medical marijuana ID from Alameda County in California? I'm told that with that ID, purchases are exempt from sales tax.\"\n_____________________\nIf you are in the state of California you will need to have a consultation with a doctor and have one of the medical conditions that is officially recognized by the state of CA. HelloMD is the largest Telehealth provider in the state and if you would like to receive your consultation online via a video consultation you will need a camera on your desktop, tablet or smart phone. We also have an IOS app called HelloMD.\n\nBefore the consultation you will need to show proof of age with a government ID such as a driver's license or passport. You will also need to be within the state at the time. You will fill in your medical history, pay and then see the doctor. Our hours are 7 days a week from 10am to 7pm. After the consultation the doctor will send you a letter which states whether you have been approved. \n\nThe consultation is private, just like any other doctor's records. If approved you will receive two letters of recommendation and a medical card. Although almost every dispensary will only honor the letters, which are considered the valid recommendation. If you are out of state you can get a consultation but not every dispensary will accept an out of state license.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9725-markdown","title":"Can you use HelloMD to get a recommendation in another state?","slug":"can-you-use-hellomd-to-get-a-recommendation-in-another-state","content":"\"Can I use HelloMD to get a card for a state other than California?\"\n_____________________\nOur physicians are licensed in California.

However, patients can be arrested if they exceed reasonable amounts and they can be cited or fined for exceeding local laws. Under MMRSA, which took effect Jan. 1, 2016, qualified patients can cultivate up to 100 square feet for personal medical use, and primary caregivers with five or fewer patients are allowed up to 500 square feet.
