“Uniting our medical channel under one marketplace provides our patients with a promise of unparalleled access to more strains, a diverse selection of product formats including vapes and soon, Mary’s topical gels and creams,” said Moe Jiwan, Chief Customer Officer, WeedMD. “It also includes ease of access to our patient services with same-day shipping and delivery, access to a robust network of healthcare professionals, a client care team available seven days a week and direct billing to insurance providers. Moving forward, we will continue to open product channels to our medical patients first as we introduce strain-specific formats derived from some of our most popular genetics at an optimum price point.”
