How To Talk To Your Doctor About Medical Cannabis

Yes, Cannabis Is Legal, and Your Doctor Can Recommend It!

112,000 Utahns are moving towards medical cannabis. Plant medicine is real, regulated, and built for patients.

We'll explain how to start the conversation with your doctor, qualifying conditions, and what the evaluation process

looks like. Seeking medical cannabis care is no different than exploring any other treatment path. You deserve

information without judgment.

Ready to ask your doctor about cannabis? We'll walk you through exactly what that process looks like. (Please note

medical cannabis candidates must be 21+.)

1) Talk to Your Doctor

If you have tried other treatments for your condition (qualifying medical conditions listed below), but have not been

able to find relief, cannabis may be a good option for you.

2) Medical Assessment

Your doctor can assess if medical cannabis is a good fit for you based on your qualifying condition(s). The medical

evaluation is simple and is not meant to make patients feel like they need to embellish their conditions. If you are

experiencing persistent pain or any other qualifying conditions listed below, your doctor or medical care provider

will empower you to get the care you need, without bias or judgment.

3) Medical Cannabis Recommendation Form

Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for medical cannabis, your doctor will fill out and sign a

Medical Cannabis Recommendation Form. Your doctor can either securely submit the referral form to Dragonfly

Wellness, or you can bring the physical copy of the form to Dragonfly Wellness in person.

4) Head to Dragonfly Wellness Pharmacy with Your Referral

treatment plan. We offer no-cost pharmacist consultations, with our pharmacists on-site during all hours that our

pharmacy is operating. Our pharmacists and pharmacy agents are highly qualified and will assist you in finding a
