Medical Cannabis Forums

This site is a unique community forum designed to provide an ever expanding wealth of information to those interested in learning more and educating others about the benefits of cannabis.

By becoming a member of the site, you will gain access to view and post moderator approved comments about our selected topics. If you have a specific topic or article that you don’t see here, but would like to discuss, you will not have access to post new topics/articles, but we are always open to your suggestions. If you have a topic/article to suggest for posting, please send us information and any links via our contact page.

Note: THCF is working to empower and protect our patients. We tried to inform people as best we could, and though our new "medical forum" is still growing, as we continue to collaborate with community members we hope it will become even better than the first forum.

The intention was not to take the forum away, but to regroup and make it even better than before. In time this project will grow to become a great resource, like the last forum. This forum is now open to patients, doctors, media, students and activists alike to give their input to the topics.

If you have a story or topic you'd like to share, let us know. We will do our best to get the topic started for you.

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.
