If you live in the San Francisco, getting a medical marijuana recommendation just got more convenient.

Meadow, a marijuana delivery startup, launched a new service Wednesday: CannabisMD. The service connects people with doctors who can make the recommendation required to qualify for medical marijuana use in the state of California.

Meadow’s CEO David Hua says the goal of the new service, which is available in San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland, isn’t as much about making medical marijuana more accessible as it is about enabling education.

“You’d be surprised how much misinformation is out there,” says Hua, who himself graduated from Oakland’s Oaksterdam University, which educates students on all aspects of the cannabis industry. “People still think you have to medicate with a joint or bong, it’s not that way anymore.”

Users create an account, supply their address and Meadow dispatches a doctor to their door. Appointments are same day and each examination takes between 15 and 45 minutes. If the doctor decides a recommendation for marijuana is appropriate, patients pay a flat fee of $100. Those who don’t get a recommendation are not charged. CannabisMD also offers renewals — medical marijuana patients typically need to get their recommendations renewed each year, Hua says— which can be done over Skype for a $50 fee.

The company says it personally vets each physician it works with to ensure they have a deep understanding of how cannabis is used to treat various conditions, down to which strains and applications are most appropriate for specific ailments.

Meadow will also continue to offer its delivery service, which allows people to place online orders from local dispensaries for same day delivery, though Hua notes the delivery service and CannabisMD are separate and doctors are instructed not to recommend specific dispensaries, only forms of treatment.

The company, one of a handful of marijuana delivery services that have cropped up recently, launched an app last October but later removed it from the App Store and Google Play after the app stores restricted Meadow’s ability to charge users due to their policies around drug content in app.

But Hua, who recently joined Y-Combinator’s startup accelerator program, insists Meadow isn’t any different than GrubHub or Instacart or other startups that are part of the Bay Area’s burgeoning on-demand economy.

“We’re a technology platform,” Hua says. “In the gold rush, you can go after the gold or you can go and build the pick axes and shovels and we decided to build the pick axes and shovels — we want to build tools.”
