    Ask the Community - NuggMD

    How does the envelope mail looks like when you received your medical card from NuggMD?

    We ship recommendations in a discreet manila envelope.

    Does anyone knows if the medical card qualify for medical assistant position with no termination?

    Nononono

    Can I order from them?

    Hello, that is a great question. We do offer a marketplace of dispensaries we have vetted for quality and customer service you can order delivery from. Just head to www.getnugg.com and enter your address to see who delivers to you. When you're ready… 

    Do you get a Actual card or just a piece of paper?

    Piece of paper for 40$ but you can pay 60$ to get a physical copy.

    Can you go into the stiizy store with the NuggMD medical card?

    yup i've been there with no problems

    Hi, when they send the paper on the mail does the envelope say anything in the outside?

    The address they send it from says from "iVisit Healthcare LLC".

    After using your service, do you still have to go to the public health department in California ? Their website states that you take the documents you give to them in person and a release of information form needs to be on file so they can verify.

    Hi Cindy, You would only need to go to the Public Health Department if you are trying to obtain an… 

    Is the Doctor consultation Via phone call? Or a video chat? Thanks!!

    You just answer your own question smh good luck!

    Will this recommendation and ID work at the Stiiizy dispensary store?

    It depends on your location. Ask nugg they got costumer service.

    Am I able to use this card in DC?

    Unfortunately your card can only be used in the respective state that it was issued

    If i live in another state can i get this and still be able to visit dispensaries near me?

    For a definitive answer go to getnugg.com or call (800)915-7073

    Whats the difference between the ID card and the rec? Is it worth paying the extra 20 dollars?

    The Recommendation is the doctor's letter of approval for your cannabis treatment, the ID Card is just a plastic wallet version of the same thing. However, some dispensaries only allow the recommendation. If you use NuggMD you have the option to get… 

    Are the Rec and the ID card mailed discreetly so Noone will know what's inside?

    Yes! Comes in a large envelope without any mention of Nugg md on the label. Loved how they are so discreet about it all so you don't have to worry about people seeing and knowing what it is.

    Do they send the card in a discreet envelope?

    It was a sheet of paper rather than a card. But Yes, it was shipped discreetly.

    Can I use this card in other states?

    I used my Nugg card at Slater in Providence and they accepted it. Warwick wouldn't. 6/13/2019

    Can you live in any state and apply?

    The only participating states as of July 2019 are: California, Nevada, & New York

    Hi, which dispensaries will allow the electronic recommendation if the official form hasn't arrived yet? Thank you so much for your answer! :)

    Hello! I'm I'm Kern County CA and all of the dispensaries I called allow you to use the electronic form as long as you also have a valid state Id. To be certain in your area I suggest calling a few places and asking them what their policy is.

    Is the packaging discreet?

    Yes, the dispensary I used delivered my product in a white bag that was mostly unmarked. I believe it was a prescription bag, similar to what you'd get any kind of medicine from a pharmacy in. Try asking for discreet packaging in the special… 

    Is this legitimate? I'm looking for a cheap med card due to my insomnia

    Yes, very good. Quick easy and legit.

    Can you go to a dispensary in LA and purchase marijuana using a doctor recommendation given through nuggmd?

    Yes

I was surprised to find it was another doctor, not Dr. Fisher, who verified me. She was knowledgeable. Medically speaking, she was great. What's also great is they were able to verify my proof of address. At the time I only had out of state ID. Two stars for that. Otherwise, you totally get gouged here for cannabis recommendations. This spot isn't the real deal for that. See Compassionate Health Options and use their price match on any sketchy spot aka Price-less Evals. I got a price quote from Dr. Fisher and I told him I'd ask around for better deals. He told me I shouldn't bother because other places aren't "medical board certified." How are they staying in business then? When I cancelled my appointment on the phone suddenly he mentioned a "sliding scale" and a "student discount. " Two stars. Offer the sliding scale in the first place. Some of us are not rich doctors. If you aren't rich, talk to an accountant, don't charge me more for it. I might be poor but my bullcrap detector works better than yours. He's probably a cool doctor for all of your other holistic needs and is obviously well reviewed, but the bottom line is this is not the SF place to get your cheap recommendation. The best spot is Compassionate Health Options. Clip an ad from Price-less Evals in the paper and take your happy, frugal self down there. Avoid Dr. Fisher like jalapeno on your toilet paper. It's not deadly but later proves to be accidental, long lasting, and bothersome. And avoid Price-less like you would a wayward sneeze, bubonic plague victim, or losing bowel control. Update: Dr. Fisher messaged me on Yelp and asked me to take down my review. No way, bro. This is competition at its best. Power to the people, baby! Pay less and get better service because you Yelp.

He is a very real, highly trained doctor who cares about each of his patients and looks out for our well-being. He can also make other recommendations for you (lifestyle, diet, exercise, other therapies, etc.) along with ways to maximize the benefits of cannabis for the enhancement of your health and happiness. I understand Dr. Fisher has partnered with another great physician so they can serve more patients - fantastic! I give Holistic Institute 5 stars plus, and I am one of their patients.

    The San Francisco Patients Cooperative WAS an important and viable part of the Medical Cannabis…read moreCommunity until it was shut down by the Feds back in 2009. Prior to that, it was a place of Compassion, Hospitality and Service to those in need of the healing power of Cannabis, and also that of the community of patients who frequented the place. It was NOT a for profit scenario, rather, it was Patient Owned, Patient Operated place that was committed to making sure the PATIENTS rather than profit was the main concern. We had open access hours all day...didn't chase anyone out after 20 minutes, had many activities from AA meetings, Writers' Group, Veteran Gatherings, Harm Reduction Groups, Open Mic (every Friday night), Bike riding groups, a pantry for those in need of food, a place for folks to get clothes, the staff would visit those in hospice and hospitals (and bring medical cannabis and/or edibles ), and were also active in the surrounding community to ensure safety and well being between the merchants, neighbors and our patients. Unfortunately we had to close due to the Federal incursion (by way of threatening letters to our landlady) which was a very common tactic at the time. We tried to find another location to continue these services, but that was not possible because of the Federal/State/Local government's ability to rescind our Non Profit Status and enforce outrageous fees and permit processes against us. We were not alone in this . Other Medical Cannabis facilities were likewise forced to discontinue their community services due to the greed of the combined forces of Wrong Minded marijuana legalization fronts and government's, locally, statewide and federally. Our hope is that we can change things It is time for the Medical Cannabis Community to rise up, to take back our rights as were given by Prop 215 and DEMAND that we are given the following: NO TAXES on cannabis for qualified (as per Prop 215 standard) medical cannabis patients. Access to non-profit status for cannabis outlets which cater exclusively to medical cannabis patients, including access to services throughout the day rather than the 20 minute maximum given presently at current "recreational use" outlets Re-establishment of communication between local government and the Medical Cannabis Community via public meetings and ongoing communication. The task forces as have been set up in the past have proven to be insufficient due to the unfortunate political interference of those who's interest are more vested in profit rather than patients. Patients and their true representatives have been frustrated beyond all measure due to the limitations they are given when it comes to decision-making. Different permits and building code processes which will make founding of such facilities possible, rather than being unattainable for those wishing to help their community. Re-zoning structures....so many schools, so little land. Let's get real! This is a MEDICAL issue, not a drug issue. Why not educate the kids on the purpose of medical cannabis rather than treat it like some nasty drug? Let's face it, some of their parents are being kept alive because of it! I'm sure there is a lot more....but one last thing; What about reimbursing patients who have been ILLEGALLY taxed for their medicine sine 2005? That was illegal and should be addressed i.e. reimbursed. Anyway, there's a lot to be looked at here and even more so....for now, the Medical Cannabis Community has been torn asunder by the actions of people who claimed to be part of us....and we know who they are. They're up on the Big Chair right now, thinking that Legalization was the Ultimate Gain. How wrong they are! What about the patients? The people who, sick and dying, stood on the front lines to defend their lives, and the lives of those after them? I believe they are the TRUE stakeholders in this, the ones who not only need bud DESERVE a community, a center, and their own way of access to cannabis. Sincerely, Rev.

Neither is the lady from my 2nd year, and thank goodness..didn't like her either. I kept coming back because this place is centrally located and the renewal rate is $80, which is comparable with (if not better than) other places. 2010-2012 I went to Dr. Hilman. While she is nice enough, she is super weight focused. Like the first year I went, I remember her being kind of preachy about it, but whatever, that's her deal. Then last year when I went in and had lost weight, she actually remembered me and gave me some props for the fat shed. I was just so shocked she remembered. Then recently, I had a friend come in and go to her and she too got the preachy lecture about weight. Listen up Dr. Hilman, we're there for weed, this ain't Jenny Craig. Women know when we're fat and when we need to take a few pounds off, no need to browbeat us. This year I got Dr. Solomon. Let me tell you, he is the best! I was in and out of there within 20 minutes, which has NEVER happened in all the years I've been going. Every single doctor before me has waited a good 15 minutes (or longer) to call me back after the illustrious Seven (Receptionist) gives them the required paperwork to begin the procedures. Can I also say that every year I go, I like Seven even more too. She's definitely one-of-a-kind and I dig her style. While I hope she always strives for greatness in her life and career, I selfishly hope she works here always and forever..I really like her a lot. There used to be some edgy lesbian chicks who worked here that always played techno.. totally random tidbit for ya there. So, there you have it. This is still the best place in town to go for your medical 420 recommendation and Dr. Solomon is no-nonsense. He's not there to candy coat shit or make you feel like you're his best friend... he's there to get you in and out and on your way to enjoying the rest of your day...which is what I shall do now. Wee!

Last year, I took a half-day from work to attend my appointment (which I scheduled a month in advance). I sat around for an hour waiting -- after which I was told, "Dr. Solomon forgot he had appointments scheduled here today. He's not coming." Cute. When I *did* finally get an appointment, he claimed he didn't have any of my medical records. I double checked with my primary care physician -- she had fax confirmation of having sent them. This year, a doctor (a "Dr. Phil"?) canceled my appointment on the DAY OF (despite confirming the day before), simply because he realized he had a big gap in his schedule and didn't want to be in the office so long. Wah. There are better places around where you can be treated by someone who actually behaves like an actual professional.

I could have easily enjoyed another hour hearing more. There are infinite ways the presentation could have evolved: local laws, CA laws, National laws, the effects of consumption (it's not like alcohol), differences with clones, why there are so many clones (aren't they all basically the same? Are there perceptible differences?), why are there so many ways to consume (which are more or less potent), safety and risks etc. The second part, the visit to SPARC was really nice too. The host there, Michael, worked with our group and was very knowledgeable and never appeared bored when I asked newbie questions that he probably hears all day long. He treated me like I was his most important customer in that moment. In terms of suggestions, maybe take less time at SPARC and afterward do a debrief to hear more history. In other words, start with 1 hour history at Green Door, 60-90 min SPARC, plus 1 hour debrief and more history. There was so much for the guides to say, so much interesting history. Overall it's 5 stars. Yes room to make even better. I would have paid a little more money to hear more history and have more Q&A.
