Getting Medical Document
To receive a recommendation for medical cannabis you must be assessed by a licensed health care practitioner. Once assessed, the practitioner will determine if you are a good candidate for medical cannabis treatment. If you are approved they will issue a medical document.
Yes.
Typically, the first medical document will be for approximately 3 months. This allows you to test the treatment and ensure it’s working for you. After that, you will need to return to renew your document and so the health care practitioner can evaluate how the treatment is working. If the treatment is working, your medical document will typically be renewed for 6 months to 1 year.
If you start the process but realize you don’t have time to finish or complete the consultation, you can return when is convenient for you. Practitioners are available 7 days a week.
With your consent, your medical document will be forwarded to Starseed for your convenience. If you’d like a copy, please contact our Client Care Team at 1-844-756-7333.
Yes.
You can contact Starseed at any time to transfer your document to another licensed producer.
