Weedmaps (NASDAQ:MAPS), a prominent online cannabis marketplace, announced a partnership with NuggMD, the leading telemedicine platform for medical cannabis patients. This collaboration aims to streamline the medical cannabis education and application process for patients through a new pilot program.
Initial Phase And Target States
The program seeks to improve access to medical cannabis by connecting potential patients on Weedmaps with NuggMD's telehealth platform, according to a press release. The initial phase is active in Florida, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Louisiana, five states served by NuggMD.
Patient Education And Convenience
"We're seeing more and more potential patients shopping through Weedmaps and specifically seeking cannabis as an alternative treatment option, and we want to help these consumers easily learn about, access, and shop for medical products as safely and conveniently as possible," said Jackie Gonzalez-Becerra, VP of revenue at Weedmaps. The association ensures medical cannabis patients have streamlined access to educational resources, NuggMD's telehealth services and a holistic shopping experience on Weedmaps.
Survey Insights On Cannabis Use
According to a recent survey of nearly 15,000 Weedmaps users, 33% are more likely to use cannabis for symptoms of diagnosed medical conditions, with reducing anxiety and relaxation being the most common reasons. NuggMD's own survey showed similar trends, with one in four participants using marijuana for pain management.
Expert Opinions On Medical Cannabis
"It's important prospective patients have an accessible, easy-to-use process when looking to obtain their medical cannabis approval," said Bonni Goldstein, MD, medical director of Canna-Centers and medical advisor to Weedmaps. This partnership aims to demystify the process for first-time patients, helping them understand the myriad of cannabis products available.
NuggMD's Mission And Goals
"Millions of Americans use cannabis to make their own lives better," said Charlie Russell, chief revenue officer at NuggMD. This collaboration aligns with NuggMD's mission to help patients overcome barriers to access, supporting pro-cannabis regulation and policy.
Weedmaps' Evolution And Market Presence
Weedmaps, founded in 2008, has evolved from an online directory of medical dispensaries to a comprehensive cannabis marketplace supporting consumers and businesses. The Weedmaps marketplace offers a premier destination for discovering cannabis-related products, accessing dispensary deals, and learning about the plant.
