What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine seems like a relatively new concept; however, patients have been consulting with doctors via telephone since the late 1950s.
Telemedicine refers to electronic communication between patients and health care providers via phone or the internet. The purpose of telemedicine is to simplify interactions between patients and their doctors.
Telemedicine makes healthcare more accessible and cost-effective while increasing patient engagement, especially for patients who require special accommodations or live in rural areas.

Do I really need a medical marijuana card?
If you live in a state where the recreational use of marijuana is legal for adults, then, technically you do not require a medical marijuana card to purchase marijuana.
HOWEVER, if you’re using marijuana for medical purposes, it should be done under the supervision of a qualified medical professional who has experience in treating patients with medical marijuana or cannabis-infused products such as edibles, oils, tablets, and topicals.
Forgoing professional medical care not only puts you at risk of making your conditions worse, but it also sidesteps important ongoing evaluation as well as processes such as lab testing to determine the progression of your condition.
Without proper medical supervision, you’re totally in the dark as to how medical marijuana is working for you. You might feel a reduction in your symptoms; however, you might also be causing new problems that are not palpable but require examination and testing.
FURTHERMORE, if you live in a state where recreational marijuana is illegal, you not only risk spending time in jail and paying high fines, you also risk life-changing consequences such as possessing a criminal record, losing your license or job, and paying exorbitant legal fees.
And that’s not all. In states where marijuana is legal, all products are required to undergo testing to determine the presence of toxic contaminants such as mold, pesticides, and heavy metals. Illicitly grown marijuana is often cultivated using low health standards and banned pesticides.
Lab testing also determines the potency of the product, allowing patients to accurately determine dosage. Your doctor might recommend a particular strain or balance of THC to CBD. If you buy marijuana from an illegal dealer or friend, you’ll have no way of determining whether or not the product you purchased meets the recommended balance. Black market marijuana is often high in THC — the compound in cannabis that causes intoxicating effects — and very low in CBD. If your doctor thinks you should be using products high in CBD and low in THC, the only way to ensure that you’re getting the medicine you need is to purchase your medicine at a licensed dispensary with the assistance of a trained budtender.
