Can you go in with a medical card and get whatever you want, or do they strictly go based on the doctors recommendation?

Vireo is pricy, I recommend Curaleaf in Forest Hills. The staff is very knowledgeable and prices for similar products are 1/3 less.

I agree with Adam, just to add.... Some doctors are very involved, others don't really care. It's the pharmacist, who you meet with the first time you go, who will go over all the products with you and help figure out what's the best product(s) for you. Good luck.

It's in between the two extremes. They're serious about medical treatment and they're cautious about moving away from the recommendation, but there is some flexibility if needed for valid medical reasons.
