How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania

step 1

Register for the Medical Marijuana Program at medicalmarijuana.pa.gov

You must register with the state using your driver's license ID number, regardless of whether you have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, glaucoma, or another qualifying condition. The state will use this information to get in touch with you and give you your card, so be sure to double-check the details you entered, such as your address and phone number. At your appointment, the doctor will update your records to reflect that you have been approved for medical marijuana therapy using the special ID number that the system will assign you.

step 2

Obtain a Certification By Meeting with a PA Department of Health-Certified Doctor Online at the Sanctuary

Whether or not you are older than 18, you are still eligible to have a 15 to 20 minute consultation with a doctor to discuss medical marijuana and qualifying conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. It is recommended that you have a summary of your medical history and your records on hand for this appointment so that you can go into more detail with the doctor. At your appointment, if you are found to have a qualifying condition, your certification will be issued by your doctor.

step 3

Complete Registration on PA DOH Website

You must sign into the account you used to register and submit the $50 fee to the PA Department of Health after the doctor has certified you. Remember that if you are receiving government benefits, you might be able to have the application cost waived or reduced. Additionally, you will have to pay this amount annually to renew your card. You will be informed that your ID has to be renewed about 30 days before it is due to expire. The DOH will ship your medical marijuana card to the address on your driver's license that you provided when you registered as soon as your payment has been completed.

It is simple to renew your medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania. It is only necessary to obtain an updated certificate and pay the renewal fee. You can remain a patient for as long as you want after enrolling in the state's registry.

To purchase cannabis from a dispensary in Pennsylvania, your certification must be renewed every 12 months. This reassessment ensures patient safety by confirming medical marijuana is still safe and effective in each individual case.

You will receive an email 60 days before your certificate expires reminding you to renew it. You can then schedule an online appointment with one of the Sanctuary's registered medical marijuana doctors. This visit will be similar to your first MMJ consultation.

In addition, 30 days before your renewal payment is due, the Department of Health will send you an email reminder. You can then log in to your account and make sure you have a valid payment method on file. If you pay your $50 renewal fee within 30 days of receiving this notice, your card will not expire.

Your doctor will inquire about your symptoms as well as your reaction to medical marijuana treatment. Based on your own experiences, you can ask questions about relevant topics like dosing and side effects. Your certification will be sent to the registry by the doctor. It will connect to your account automatically.

Make sure your address on file is correct. If your doctor's certificate is current and your payment is accepted, the state will automatically mail you a new card.

How to Become a Medical Marijuana Caregiver

Medical marijuana caregivers in Pennsylvania are people who register with the state's medical marijuana program in order to purchase medical marijuana on behalf of minors, homebound adults, and people with disabilities. Registered caregivers must be at least 21 years old and have a valid Pennsylvania driver's license or state-issued ID.

  1. As a caregiver, you must register with the Department of Health. To set up your account, you will need to provide the name of the patient you will be assisting, their program ID number, as well as your name and address.
  2. Undergo a criminal background check using the vendor provided by the state. Individuals who have been convicted of a criminal offense for selling or possessing drugs or controlled substances within the last five years are not eligible to become caregivers. After your fingerprinting appointment, background checks can take up to six weeks to process.

  1. Once you pass the background check, the state will contact you via email. After that, you can pay the $50 registration fee. Medical marijuana cards for caregivers have an annual expiration date.
  2. Schedule an online appointment with one of our doctors.

As a caregiver, you can only enter dispensaries and buy marijuana if your account is linked to a registered patient's. If you serve as an adult's caregiver, they can authorize you to purchase cannabis products on their behalf by linking you as their caregiver through their online account. To become patients, minors or adults with disabilities must register with you as their caregiver.

Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Card Conditions

The Medical Marijuana Act (Act) was approved by the Pennsylvania General Assembly on April 17, 2016. This made the use, possession, and sale of medical marijuana legal. Each customer must be a resident of Pennsylvania in order to apply for a medical marijuana card and purchase medicinal marijuana from dispensaries. Every applicant has to follow the laws that are unique to the state in which they are lawfully residing. Additionally, the state must have authorized the physician you visit to issue you the certification. A PDH-approved physician must confirm that you have a qualifying condition in order to certify you for an MMJ card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can attend a telehealth appointment with one of the Sanctuary’s medical cannabis doctors to receive your certification, then submit your application and pay the fee using the state’s website.

You can enroll in PA’s registry in minutes with an active email address and valid state-issued ID. Once you attend your medical marijuana consultation, you can pay the registration fee. The state typically processes applications within seven days of payment and mails cards within 14 days.

The Sanctuary can help you with registry enrollment and connect you with an experienced medical marijuana doctor so you can get your card as quickly as possible.

Only patients with state-issued medical marijuana cards can enter Pennsylvania medical cannabis dispensaries. The only exceptions to this rule are patients’ caregivers and minors who’re accompanied by a patient or caregiver with a card.

Anxiety disorders are one of PA’s most common qualifying medical conditions. Talking to your doctor about how your symptoms impact your life, asking about how cannabis can help, and discussing dosing and strains with your local dispensary pharmacist will help you maximize the benefits of medical cannabis treatment.

Only cardholding patients can purchase and consume marijuana in Pennsylvania. Currently, the state only permits dispensaries to sell flower, pills, capsules, liquids, tinctures, topical gels and creams, patches, and extract.

Edibles sold in the state don’t come from licensed dispensaries. Such products are not compliant with safety or manufacturing regulations and do not contain medical-grade cannabis.

Pennsylvania allows cardholders to purchase and possess up to a 90-day supply of medical marijuana. The exact amount varies from patient to patient based on their pharmacist's recommendation.

Being clear and comprehensive about the extent and nature of your symptoms will ensure your provider recommends an appropriate amount of cannabis.

After a year, medical marijuana cards become invalid. Your card can be renewed online. You'll receive a reminder email from the program 60 days before your renewal date. A telehealth renewal appointment may then be scheduled. It's acceptable for you to visit a different physician than the one who signed your initial medical marijuana certificate.

Your account is electronically connected to the renewal form. The state will mail you the card after they've received your $50 renewal fee.
