NuggMD Offers Free Medical Marijuana Evaluations to Veterans

NuggMD, the nation's leading telemedicine platform for cannabis, has announced a significant initiative to support veterans by offering free online medical marijuana evaluations from November 7 to November 11. This initiative targets the high rates of PTSD, ranging from 10% to 30% among war-time veterans, and the 31% who struggle with chronic pain. Despite cannabis being illegal federally, 38 states and several U.S. territories have legalized its use for treating qualifying medical conditions, including PTSD and chronic pain.

Bobby Brock, vice president of marketing at NuggMD, emphasized the company's stance on cannabis freedom for all adults and called on the cannabis industry and policymakers to recognize the potential benefits of cannabis for veterans. The free evaluations are available to veterans residing in the 28 markets NuggMD serves, requiring valid proof of service and state-issued identification. Additionally, the company is offering a 25% discount to the spouses of veterans under the same conditions.

Since its inception in 2016, NuggMD has facilitated over two million patient connections with qualified medical cannabis doctors through its state-of-the-art telemedicine platform. This initiative not only highlights the company's commitment to veterans' wellness but also underscores the broader potential of cannabis in improving quality of life for those who have served.
