The Future of Medical Marijuana in Arkansas

Convenient healthcare is just a click away.

Battling pain has always been difficult. And when chronic pain gets in the way of daily tasks, it can even affect a patient’s psychological state, threatening both their happiness and health. Rather than enjoying life to the fullest, they endure it. In the U.S. alone, 1 in 5 adults experience chronic pain, according to the CDC. Of course, pharmaceuticals can be reliable for pain management, but we have to recognize that some people can react differently to drugs. What works for some, may not necessarily work for others. 

Thankfully through state legalization of medical marijuana, patients are given another alternative to relieve pain. With the emerging use of medical marijuana in the U.S., patients now have access to dispensaries across multiple states. In 2016, Arkansas medical marijuana was legalized. 

But the progress does not stop here. It should not stop here. We are currently living in the digital era, where access to quality healthcare has never been easier and within reach.

How Arkansans Manage Pain

Did you know that in 2023, the state of Arkansas had the largest opioid-prescribing rate in the U.S.? This is alarming, since it has been documented that a prolonged use of opioids can cause serious health and cognitive issues. Nevertheless, it is clear that many Arkansans have struggled or are still struggling with pain, and with a population of over 3 million people, it is in the public’s best interest to have appropriate, affordable, and accessible options for pain management. 

Current available treatment options include:

  • Physical therapy
  • Medications
  • Psychotherapy
  • Advanced medical techniques
  • Acupuncture
  • Support groups
  • Medical marijuana (MMJ)

With various treatment options to choose from, patients are able to select the treatment that suits them best. However with the hustle and bustle of life where even simply going to hospitals and clinics poses a challenge, access to health can be a matter of convenience. Which is why telehealth is a growing industry, where technology bridges the gap between medical professionals and patients, to ensure timely, budget-friendly, and convenient care right from the comfort of your own home.

If you consider Arkansas medical marijuana as a top treatment option for pain management, but have a busy schedule which makes in-person appointments a hassle, well you’re in luck. A trusted telehealth provider is waiting for you at the end of this blog post, just keep on reading or book an appointment with us today.

Telehealth is the “FUTURE”

But it’s also derived from the past. Let me share a short history behind it. 

The use of radios in the U.S. became widespread during the 1920’s, as technology rapidly advanced, broadcast stations were built, where news and music were made more accessible.

Through the radio, medicine was also advancing. In the 1940’s, one of the earliest instances of telehealth was accomplished in Pennsylvania, where radiology images were transmitted via telephone lines. It bridged a sender and a receiver that was 24 miles apart. Then came the 1950’s, where they made a teleradio system that can facilitate two-way communication to share medical information with students, to further advance discoveries in medicine. 

Fast-forward to the present day, where scheduling visits and appointments, getting prescriptions, patient follow-ups and monitoring, doctor consultations, even Arkansas medical marijuana card renewals are all possible with just one device and the internet. This and more can be achieved by providing new medical services, enhancing patient-doctor communications, streamlining processes, and more via telehealth.

Arkansans, we care about your time and effort towards health. So let’s meet in the middle. Let’s meet online through telehealth. Convenient and accessible, where comprehensive healthcare is right at your fingertips, with a few clicks.
