MMJ.com which helps patients access medical marijuana through a telehealth platform, announced on Friday that it is expanding its services to 26 states.
The move is expected to facilitate online consultations with state-certified doctors for medical cannabis patients.
Other implications for healthcare and legal systems include:
- Enhanced patient access as this expansion emphasized growing recognition of medical marijuana’s potential benefits as an alternative treatment path for patients with various conditions;
- Legal and regulatory evolution as a testament to broader changes in state and federal perspectives on cannabis; and
- Telehealth innovation, as it utilizes telehealth to connect patients with medical professionals, especially in areas requiring specialized care.
Companies That Destigmatize Cannabis
Over the years, several cannabis companies have similarly destigmatized cannabis by launching medical marijuana platforms.
Tilray Brands, Inc.'s TLRY Tilray Medical launched a cannabis education platform, WeCare-MedicalCannabis in 2022, dedicated to providing resources and educating healthcare practitioners and patients about medical cannabis.
The platform provides science and research-based cannabis content to healthcare professionals, caregivers, and patients to help them make informed decisions about medicinal cannabis and assist them along their path to discovering how medicinal cannabis can support daily wellness and health.
Avicanna Inc. AVCNF followed suit and launched an all-new medical cannabis care platform, MyMedi.ca. in Canada, a year later, upon closing the previously announced acquisition of the Medical Cannabis by Shopper's Business from Shoppers Drug Mart.
Tyler Technologies, Inc. TYL has been in partnership with the state of Mississippi for years, under which Tyler's NIC Licensing Solution – the government licensing platform – is designed specifically for the cannabis industry.
The comprehensive licensing platform features patient/caregiver registration, practitioner registration, agent (employee) credentialing, and business licensing across all business types.
