You wait a few weeks and you receive a Medical Marijuana card. At this time the dispensary also gets your card number. You can call the dispensary and have your vape delivered. Vape is the oil and THC is what comes from marijuana. You need to also buy a vape pen. You receive a cartridge that screws into the vape pen and you vape it much like the smokeless cigarettes you see all over. The first prescription doesn't help much. Cost about $80.00. So you call the doctor and tell him and he calls in another prescription, cost $80.00. Cannot return the first batch. The vials should last 45 days. Insurance does not cover any of it. New dispensary opened on 441 so you save the $25.00 delivery fee. There are other doctors who are charging $175.00. They are in Orlando. I believe one is in Ocala.
This whole process is brand new. Laws change from day to day.
Thank you for your informative, articulate explanation of how the process works and what constitutes the substance. My only question is one of curiosity--why does the first dose not help much? Does it have to build up in your system?
