The Truth About DARE

Under state law in California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington medical marijuana has helped hundreds of thousands of patients enjoy a better quality of life. Medical marijuana assists many in stopping or reducing habit-forming medications and allows them and their families to lead fuller and more active lives.

All of our physicians are fully licensed, experienced, well informed and compassionate. Our staff explains each state’s unique program and helps patients locate community resources so they can best benefit from their state’s medical cannabis law.

THCF TRIFOLD BROCHURE 2009 You can now download and print our 2009 Trifold Brochure containing valuable information that can help you or a loved one take the first step in becoming a qualified medical marijuana patient.

Becoming a Patient

Our physicians require that each patient have current medical records that document the existence of one of the conditions for which medical marijuana is authorized under their state law. You must either obtain your medical records yourself (which may involve a fee) and bring them in to us, or you may authorize that your medical records be faxed or mailed to one of our offices. Please BE SURE to clarify with the doctor's office that you only need 2-3 visits of chart notes pertaining to your qualifying condition, NOT your entire medical record. Have them include any relevant x-ray or MRI reports (not actual film), and also YOUR name and phone number.

Since our doctors are consulting with patients solely about their qualification for medicinal cannabis, and can not act as a patient's primary physician, we require that all of our patients have at least one other current physician. What to Expect at Your Appointment

After checking in, we must copy your state identification card for our file, pull your medical records, and create our THCF medical file. You can expect to fill out some questionnaire forms whether you are a new or returning patient. There is a 20 minute orientation video to educate you about your state’s medical marijuana program, and then you will have time to ask a staff member any remaining questions you may have. What follows will be a non-invasive exam by an RN or NP, a meeting with our MD who will review your entire situation, make his determination, and fill out necessary forms. Once we both have copies of all necessary information and permit forms filled out, you will be ready to go!

Please call our office for further information or to schedule an appointment.
