What to Expect During Your First Medicinal Cannabis Consultation

Your first medicinal cannabis consultation is a straightforward, confidential appointment designed to help your clinician understand your health needs and determine whether medicinal cannabis is right for you.

Before your appointment

Once you book online, you will receive a confirmation email with details about your appointment. You will need a device with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a quiet private space for the consultation. Have your identification and any relevant medical history ready.

During the consultation

Your clinician will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, previous treatments, and any medications you are taking. They will explain how medicinal cannabis works, discuss potential benefits and risks, and answer any questions you have.

The consultation typically takes around 10 minutes, though complex cases may require additional time. Our clinicians are thorough and will ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.

After the consultation

If medicinal cannabis is deemed appropriate, your clinician will provide a treatment plan with product recommendations, dosage instructions, and follow-up schedules. Your prescription can be sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
