Some are very professional and look like you are walking into a doctor’s office while others might remind you of a 1930’s speakeasy.

It is important that the staff is knowledgeable about the cannabis strains they carry as well as the condition(s) that you may be suffering from.

3. Are you insured?

4. Do you have patient testimonials?

5. Do you have a business Checking account for your Marijuana Caregivers business?

6. Is any of the medical marijuana keifed or rolled. (If they try sell you marijuana that has been keifed or rolled ensure that you are not paying top dollar for it.

7. Are there EVER any seeds in your medical grade marijuana?

8. Do you accept checks, credit cards, debit cards. (Don’t expect them to take checks)

Now ask yourself a few questions.

1. Do they really care about me or my condition?

2. What if I don’t live close by?

3. Will they be there for me whenever I call? Even late at night?

4. Do they make the attempt to check on me regularly?

5. Do they listen to me and show compassion?

6. Do they keep their word?

7. Is this a person I can trust?
