The patient must also be present in the consultation, though the caregiver may speak on their behalf if the patient is unable to. \n\nI would recommend registering through our site and filling out the information with your family member. Please make sure that you have things in their name and not the caregiver's name. Once you have made it to the consultation, please speak with us about requesting a caregiver form so that we can designate you as a caregiver for your loved one. \n\nWhen their original recommendation arrives, you may go to the dispensary with the recommendation and the caregiver form to pick up medicine on their behalf. Some dispensaries have their own caregiver process as well just to verify everything again and make sure the you are their legitimate caregiver. Additionally, it is worth noting that California law allows you to designate 1 caregiver. Please message us on the chat if you have any questions while registering :)\n\nryan\n_____________________\nIn order for us to issue you a caregiver form, your caregiver must have been present with you during the consultation. \n\nSince you are requesting one after the consultation, we are not able to create you one. However, you can download the template below and create one yourself and designate your caregiver.\n\nPlease note that California law allows you to designate 1 caregiver.\n\nhttp://www.safeaccessnow.net/pdf/caregiver.pdf\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6812-markdown","title":"Will hellomd.com stay active after elections?","slug":"will-hellomd-com-stay-active-after-elections","content":"\n_____________________\nYes, HelloMD will be very active after elections. If Prop 64 passes there is at least 1 year of writing new legislation, and many people believe it may take 2. After it is written, then they need to do a roll out of new laws, it does not happen all at once. Even if everything goes through, getting a medical card may still be in your best interest due to taxation. This will all be ironed out, but the bottom line is that you will for the forseeable future need your medical card and we will continue to support patients and their need for ongoing information and education!

I've moved back to Ohio temporarily to get surgery and heal from automobile accident I was in back in February. Thankfully they've just passed medical marijuana here I believe just last month, however, it will take a month or so for it to go into effect. I was purchasing and taking the Kushy Punch chews which contained 60mg of CBD. I have to say - it showed incredible results for my anxiety and mild-depression without the psychoactive effects - EXACTLY what I need/wanted. It would help even greater now given the medical condition from the car accident I am in. \n\nProblem being is I'm pretty sure this was CBD from Cannabis, not Hemp. As hemp has extreme health benefits, from everything that I've read and the research I've done, it's significantly different than the cannabis strains. You really have to be careful when ordering CBD online because its easy to purchase something that is false and may or may not even be CBD. \n\nSince CBD is legal in all 50 states and I'm unfortunately not in SoCal at the moment, I'm looking to see if anyone can recommend a HIGH CBD vape or edible that may be the equivalent to what I was taking in LA that you can order online, has the same benefits (or greater) and is WORTH the purchase. I realize there are a lot of scam companies and I've come here to seek any fellow humans who also take CBD and who may have recommendations online. \n\nlove and light~\n\n\"\n_____________________\nGreat question and depending on who you ask and who you are as a person, the answer could vary wildly. Personally, I have not found that CBD products from hemp have nearly the benefit or effect as CBD from cannabis. I am always on the lookout for high CBD/low THC products as I feel the same effects that you mentioned and I think the combination of cannabinoids, which create the 'entourage effect', are what is responsible for a better outcome.\n\nIt is also true you need to be careful as to what you purchase not just because the quantity of high grade CBD can vary wildly but also because hemp is often unregulated, especially if your hemp product comes from China.\n\nThat said, the brand Evoxe, carries a high CBD pen that is from hemp. They also have a new CBD pen with THC which is great. You can find their business listing on our site:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/biz/evoxe-laboratories\n\nYou may also try Auntie Dolores as I believe they just released a new high CBD brownie which is derived from hemp. I am not entirely sure, but I believe it to be so.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/biz/auntie-dolores\n\nI am not a doctor and this represents only my opinion. I hope it helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11344-markdown","title":"Does Green Health Consultants do online consultations?

Can I come to your location for consultation and cannabis formula recommendation and purchase?  I live in Northern California but  will be in Palo Alto the end of next week.\"\n_____________________\nI'm sorry to hear that you are suffering so much. I am not a doctor but I am part of HelloMD and we are so glad you chose our service. At HelloMD we do not offer personalized consultations for product recommendations at the moment, past our initial consult. You have asked your question on the Le Shoppe business listing, which has a location in Palo Alto. However, they are delivery only.\n\nIt sounds as if you need a personalized approach. Two suggestions:\n\nFirst, if you are located in or around Santa Rosa, you can see one of HelloMD's favorite doctors, Dr Sharon Olson. If you look within our Trust Pilot reviews you will see how much patients appreciate her advice. You can also check out all of her answers here to see her approach:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/people/DrOlson\n\nAnother option is to have a consultation with GreenHealth Consulting, which is run by a woman named Eloise Theisen. She consults with individuals to help them find the best approach for their condition. Given your age and your condition finding the right product and dosage is critical!  Here is an article I wrote about Eloise:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/medical-cannabis-counseling-helping-dementia-and-cancer-patients-find-relief\n\nThe other option is to go to a dispensary storefront and speak to the staff. If you choose this route, i would go to a dispensary that has a lot of familiarity with medical consumers. The most well known dispensary in all of California is called Harborside. They are located in the East Bay and have a knowledgeable staff.\n\nThis answer represents my opinion and I am not a doctor, but I hope this helps you.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI am a physician doing Integrated or Functional medicine and I do offer private services in Northern California since I am based in the Santa Rosa area if you need more personalized care. I do work for HelloMD but our consultation, if you see me locally, will be outside the HelloMD business. I work with a couple other doctors doing consultations for people using cannabis who need additional help with their medicines. The office is listed under Dr Hulter in Santa Rosa at 3806 Sebastopol Ave.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11191-markdown","title":"is hellomd available in other states","slug":"is-hellomd-available-in-other-states","content":"\n_____________________\nOur Answers service (what you are using now) is available to provide information globally, however, we have not yet launched service relating to doctors for cannabis evaluations in states other than California yet.

This has no basis in law, but many dispensaries want to see it and so we do provide an embossed stamp on our doctors letter of recommendation.
