getting your Connecticut medical marijuana card
Our friendly staff will arrange your appointment and explain the steps you need to take to obtain a medical marijuana card in Connecticut.
Your appointment will take about 15 minutes. During your evaluation, your doctor will examine your condition and issue a certificate to the DCP to notify the agency that you are approved for the program. Make sure to provide a valid email address!
After receiving your certification, the DCP will send you an email with additional application instructions. You will need to complete your application online by submitting proof of Connecticut residency (such as a utility bill or rent statement), uploading a copy of your government-issued ID, and pay a $100 fee.

Medical marijuana has been legal in Connecticut since 2012 with the passage of House Bill 5389. This law established the state’s medical cannabis program and rules for patients, dispensaries, and physicians. The first dispensary in the state opened in 2014 in South Windsor. Connecticut has decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana since 2011, after then-Governor Dannel Malloy signed Senate Bill 1014.
Connecticut has a strong and comprehensive medical marijuana program when compared with other states. While some states have strict medical cannabis laws that only allow people with a handful of conditions to seek this treatment, Connecticut has one of the longest lists of qualifying conditions among places where recreational use is illegal. Many medical conditions qualify for cannabis use, including degenerative spinal disorders, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
The Connecticut medical marijuana application process is relatively simple and straightforward, involving a few simple steps. The most challenging part of the process is obtaining a physician’s certification, which you can receive with the Sanctuary’s assistance. We connect qualified Connecticut residents with physicians who can help them receive the treatment they need. If you are a primary caregiver of a qualifying patient, the Sanctuary can also guide you through the process of obtaining a registration certificate.
