NuggMD is a California-based leading telemedicine portal that connects qualified medical marijuana patients with licensed physicians online. They’ve assisted more than 40,000 California patients in obtaining an online medical marijuana consultation with a licensed physician, and they’ve set their sights on the challenges of the New York market. With their launch in New York, the company is excited to enable participating New York physicians to provide convenient and efficient care to patients statewide. And with only 884 of the 110,000 practitioners in New York registered for the NYS Medical Marijuana Program, they have got their work cut out for them in the Big Apple. With more and more patients boasting about the benefits of medicinal marijuana and an increasing numbers of states getting on board, the obstacles to meaningful patient care should hopefully dwindle in the coming years. But in the meantime, it’s great to have a company like NuggMD on the front lines of the medical battle with regulations. Read more about cannabis startups here on Tech.Co Photo: Flickr / Dank Depot
