THCF - Medical Marijuana Clinics

THCF has several physicians and nurse practitioners who help qualified patients obtain a state permit for medical marijuana in Washington state, Oregon, California, Hawaii and Colorado. 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 our appointment, or you may authorize that your medical records be faxed or mailed to one of our offices.

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.

The Appointment, or, The Eight-Fold Path
of the Medical Marijuana Permit-Holder:

1. Check in. We must copy your state identification card for our file, locate or obtain your medical records, and create or locate our version of your medical file.

2. We have an extensive seven-page questionnaire for our new patients (), or a two-page questionnaire for our returning patients. Then, you write your name, info and today's date on top of several forms that are your medical records, and fill in any applicable state forms.

3. We have 20 minutes of video to orient you to your state's medical marijuana law, its program, and the use and cultivation of medical marijuana, including alternatives to smoking, such as vaporization. This answers most of most people's questions and is accompanied with printed support material and notes. Prior permit-holders may skip this step.

4. You meet with our staff person, who answers any remaining questions you have about medical marijuana. You pay our clinic's fee here. You also receive information about medical marijuana resources in your community.

5. You see a Nurse Practitioner, or Registered Nurse, who conducts a non-invasive physical exam. No bodily fluids are taken. The nurse documents the results of the exam.

6. You meet a Medical Doctor who specializes in cannabis, cannabinoids and their medical efficacy. The doctor must review the physical exam, read your medical records, determine your qualifying condition(s), write several pages of medical records, then fill in all necessary state forms for your medical marijuana permit.

7. We must make copies of all these forms and medical records for you and for your file at our office.

8. You receive your originals and copies of your state medical marijuana permit forms and your medical records. We have an informational form we call the "Now What?" form, which explains what you must do when you leave and how to renew your permit next year. There is a brief exit interview and you are ready to go.
