Obtaining a medical marijuana card is necessary in several states if you want to purchase cannabis products. So, how do you get a card? You can start the application process online. Here’s a closer look at the steps involved.
Submit a Questionnaire to Request a Medical Consult
You must meet with a qualified medical practitioner to obtain a medical marijuana card. To find a suitable medical professional, you can submit an online questionnaire with some basic information about yourself. You can then wait for a state-certified medical doctor to reach out and set up a time and place for your consultation.
The consultation can be completed online or in person, depending on the practitioner. The doctor will review your medical records and recent tests. Your application is then submitted to the state.
Pay the Fees for Your Medical Marijuana Card in Your State
Along with a medical consultation, you need to pay certain fees to get a medical card. The cost varies, but you can expect to pay between $75 and $115. This covers the medical consultation and state fees.
Wait for the State to Approve Your Medical Marijuana Card
After the consultation, you can sit back and wait for the state to review and approve your application. As soon as you are approved, you may be given the option to print a temporary registration card. The card is typically valid for 60 days to 2 years, but the laws vary from state to state.
When you get the temporary registration, you can start making purchases as a legal medical marijuana cardholder.
