Can your doctor diagnosis me with a qualifying condition?
No. There are pre-qualifying diagnosis that are established for the state of Arkansas. The doctor at Arkansas Medical Cannabis Network can only certify you for one or more previously established diagnosis. There must be prior treatment with traditional medicine before a qualifying condition can be treated with medical marijuana. Existing conditions must have a track record including diagnosis. This documentation can be obtained from your other doctors including primary care, specialists, and ER doctors.
Before your visit with one of our marijuana doctors please plan ahead and have these documents ready.
