Medical Marijuana Recommending Physician
Kentucky Marijuana Card is looking for knowledgable and compassionate nurse practitioners who are interested in evaluating patients and recommending medical marijuana as a treatment option for those that qualify under Kentucky state law. This opportunity is ideal for NPs that want to make a difference in an emerging field of medicine and increase the quality of life for patients across the state of Kentucky. Research has shown that opiate related hospitalizations and abuse have declined in states that have legalized medical marijuana, and we believe that increased access to medical marijuana in Kentucky will have the same effect.
