Do you or someone you know
suffer from chronic pain? Are
you fighting a battle with cancer,
Parkinson’s disease, multiple
sclerosis, nerve damage, or
another debilitating illness?
If so, medical marijuana might help
alleviate your pain and provide comfort
for effective treatment of debilitating
symptoms and diseases.
Etain, LLC, New York’s only women-owned,
family-run medical marijuana company,
just opened a new dispensary in Midtown
Manhattan to provide thousands of
underserved patients in the downstate
region access to essential medical
marijuana products. Located right off of
Grand Central Terminal at 142 E. 39th
Street in Murray Hill, the dispensary serves
patients from all five boroughs and is happy
to accept both walk-ins and appointments.
As Hillary Peckham, Chief Operating Officer
of Etain, LLC., said, “This new facility
allows us to expand patient access and
improve the quality of life for thousands
of people by providing the highest quality
medical marijuana treatments available.»
To even further expand their reach to
underserved patients, Etain has launched
a brand new Long Island delivery program
for patients and caregivers who are unable
to make the trip to the dispensary. As of
November 7th, patients can begin taking
advantage of this convenient service to
receive life-sustaining medical marijuana
products. Call today to find out if you
qualify at 917-437-7898.
Since New York launched its Medical
Marijuana Program, Etain has emerged as a
leading producer of clean and safe medical
marijuana products for patients throughout
the state. They lead with compassion,
driven by the desire to help ease pain so
that patients can live their best lives.
People with cancer have long touted
medical marijuana as a wonder drug for
treating chemo-related nausea. Recent
studies have shown marijuana can be
helpful reducing the spread of cancerous
cells and increasing the effectiveness
of chemotherapy drugs. On top of that,
medical marijuana has proven to be
an effective treatment for slowing the
progression of Alzheimer’s disease, easing
symptoms of arthritis, relieving chronic
pain, and more.
New York’s medical marijuana program
has recently undergone a lot of changes
to improve access for patients, streamline
production, and increase choice. Chronic
pain has been added as a qualifying
condition; home delivery is now permitted,
products are becoming diversified, and
the course required for doctors to certify
patients has been simplified.
If you’re a new patient looking to join
the state program, you can begin by
contacting your health practitioner to see
if your condition qualifies you to receive
medical marijuana treatment. If so, and
your practitioner is registered with the New
York State Department of Health, they can
issue you a patient certification for your
qualifying condition.
New York recognizes a number of
qualifying medical conditions, including
cancer, chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease,
inflammatory bowel disease, and more.
After registering online with the state,
you’ll receive a Registry ID Card in the mail,
at which point you can purchase medical
marijuana from a registered dispensary,
like Etain.
Whether you’re a current or prospective
patient, or a doctor interested in joining
the program, Etain encourages you to
visit their website: www.etainhealth.com
or call them at (914) 437-7898 to learn
more about how you can access industry
leading medical marijuana products.
Also follow them on Facebook (@EtainNY)
and Twitter (@EtainLLC) and be sure to let
them know if you’re a first time customer
– you may qualify for a discount!
Etain’s team of professionals and
pharmacists are always available to
answer any questions you may have and
would invite you to stop by one of their
dispensary locations soon.
