Welcome to Alphatelemed.com:

Governor Ralph Northam recently signed a bill that would decriminalize Medical Tincture in Virginia starting July 1, 2020. The new law takes effect July 1, 2020 and reduces penalties for offenses involving personal possession of up to one ounce of marijuana to a civil violation.  A medical card provides an affirmative defense for registered patients, and caregivers.  It will also give you the privilege to purchase medical grade product from a dispensary that are opening in Virginia soon.  Click here or call 703-589-9964 to schedule and appointment.
