Frequently asked questions
How long does the doctor's call take?
Most medical marijuana certification calls take just a few minutes. The doctor reviews your medical history briefly, asks whether cannabis is helping your condition and if you have any side effects, then submits your certification.
What questions will the doctor ask?
The doctor will ask whether cannabis is helping the condition you're being certified for, whether you're experiencing any unwanted side effects, and may ask about your overall medication regimen. The conversation is straightforward and judgment-free.
Do I need to prepare anything for the call?
Just be in a quiet place where you can talk privately and have your phone nearby. Make sure your intake form is complete before the call window. You don't need medical records on hand for the appointment itself.
What if the doctor doesn't approve my certification?
Green Bridge Society offers second opinions. If your assigned doctor doesn't issue your certification, another physician on our team can review your case to ensure you get a fair evaluation.

The doctor focuses on your medical evaluation during the call. For product, dosing, and regimen questions, our pharmacist is available after your certification with practical, real-world guidance tailored to your needs.

Your certification is submitted electronically during or right after the call. In most states it appears in your patient portal account within 24 hours. You'll receive an email from Green Bridge Society with next steps for your specific state.
Will the call be by video or just a phone call?
Most calls are done over a regular phone call — no video, no app, no camera. Just a simple conversation with the doctor.
