It is our mission to advocate for medical cannabis patients and to assist prospective applicants in navigating the registration process in their respective states. We offer our services to residents of multiple states applying for medical marijuana programs, including Missouri.
Arkansas has authorized the use of telemedicine to certify patients for medical marijuana cards. At the Sanctuary, our staff members are available to schedule a virtual appointment for you with one of our doctors. You do not need to have a prior doctor's evaluation to meet with our licensed physicians.
During your appointment, your doctor will evaluate your condition and determine if you meet the state’s requirements for medical marijuana use. If your physician believes you would benefit from marijuana use, they will submit a certificate to the Pennsylvania DHSS as soon as possible. Once your information is in the system, you can continue the application process on the DHSS website.
Simply call us at 484-346-5140 to arrange a virtual meeting with a physician.

Medical research has shown that THC can be helpful in treating nausea caused by chemotherapy or AIDS medications, reducing chronic pain from HIV/AIDS or cancer treatments, reducing muscle spasms due to MS, relieving arthritis symptoms including inflammation and stiffness due to cell damage from autoimmune disease, and as a sleep aid for those with severe insomnia.
