<\/p>\n
One company is planning to shift the mindset of individuals when it comes to medical marijuana. Veriheal<\/a><\/strong>, a DC based technology company helps patients find healing through medical marijuana<\/strong> by providing them with doctors<\/strong>, access to dispensaries, and education on the medicine and industry.<\/p>\n \u201cWe feel like no one was pushing the envelope when it comes to stepping out and letting people know the benefits of this plant\u201d says Sam Adetunji, co-founder of Veriheal.<\/p>\n When Sam originally tried getting his medical marijuana cards in DC<\/a>, the process seemed to be excessively confusing. Every person they called when looking for some help seemed confused by the process as well. \u201cSome of the dispensaries never even reached back out to us\u201d said Joshua Green, co-founder and partner at Veriheal. \u201cWe then started calling each state with a medical marijuana program on the east coast and the feedback was the same\u201d.<\/p>\n After that, the Veriheal team was formed. Starting in DC but rapidly expanding throughout the east coast, Veriheal began understanding why and when the medical marijuana programs in certain states became so confusing.<\/p>\n One of the main steps in getting access to medical marijuana is meeting with a licensed physician that is legally certified to write recommendations in your state. Once a doctor approves you, the next step is finding a dispensary<\/a> to purchase from. After that, education is needed to understand what and how to use the medicine. This whole process can be done directly on Veriheal\u2019s online platform.<\/p>\n \u201cWe see ourselves as the one stop shop for medical marijuana patients\u201d says Joshua.<\/p>\n Currently, medical marijuana is a big topic not only on the national level, but also on the local level. With Jeff Sessions<\/a> making proclamations targeting the Legal Cannabis Industry, the light has been shined on the medical marijuana community as they feel more longevity in the industry.<\/p>\n Veriheal plans to continue expanding into states that have a medical marijuana program. In hopes to bring more awareness and education to people from all over, they have launched a new platform. VerihealTV \u2013 a newly launched extension from Veriheal \u2013 will be an online video network providing all things medical marijuana related.<\/p>\n
