Welcome to www.THC-Foundation.org, The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation

The Hemp & Cannabis Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization working to truthfully educate the public concerning hemp and cannabis, as well as helping medical marijuana patients. We have clinics across the country where our doctors help patients obtain a permit for medical marijuana.

We have helped over 100,000 patients in nine states obtain a permit to legally possess, use and grow medical marijuana. We would be happy to help you. We are now scheduling appointments in 40 cities across the United States.

We see patients at our clinics in Oregon at Portland, Eugene, Bend, Grants Pass and Umatilla, in Washington state at Seattle/Bellevue, Olympia, Port Angeles, Spokane, Bellingham, Kennewick and Vancouver/Portland, in Michigan at Detroit/Southfield, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Flint, Saginaw, Marquette, Traverse City and Lansing, in Hawaii at Honolulu, Hilo and Kapaa, in Colorado at Denver, Durango and Glenwood Springs, in Nevada at Las Vegas and Reno, in Montana at Missoula, Helena, Bozeman and Billings, in New Mexico at Albuquerque and in California at Riverside.

We are now scheduling appointments for all of our clinics across the United States. Contact us at (800)723-0188 for locations and details.


Under state law in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington the following conditions qualify for medical marijuana permits: Chronic Severe Pain, Glaucoma, Cancer, AIDS/HIV, Chronic Muscle Spasms, Multiple Sclerosis, GERD, Seizure Disorders, Crohn's Disease, Chronic Nausea, Cachexia, Asthma, IBS, Hepatitis C, Parkinson's Disease, Arthritis and many others.

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.

Our Doctors:

Marijuana is much safer, more effective and less costly than many alternatives currently in use. The Drug Enforcement Administration's own top administrative law judge, Francis L. Young, dismissed the drug warriors' untrue propaganda when he ruled in 1988 that, "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."

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!
