Our mission is to advocate for medical marijuana patients and to guide prospective applicants through the registration process in their respective states. We provide our services to residents of multiple states, including Connecticut. Our licensed physicians are authorized to certify patients throughout CT, including Hartford, New Haven, and Milford.
The use of telemedicine to certify patients for medical marijuana cards is now legal in Connecticut. The staff members at the Sanctuary are happy to set up a virtual appointment for you with one of our doctors. To meet with our licensed physicians, you do not need to have a prior doctor's evaluation.
During your appointment, your doctor will assess your condition and determine whether you meet the state's medical marijuana requirements. If your doctor believes you would benefit from marijuana use, they will issue you a certificate. Once your information has been entered into the system, you can proceed with the application process on the DCP website.
Simply call (959) 245-1716 to set up a virtual meeting with a medical marijuana doctor.
Our courteous staff will schedule your appointment and explain the steps required to obtain a medical marijuana card in Connecticut.
Your appointment will last approximately 15 minutes. During your evaluation, your doctor will look into your condition and, if appropriate, issue a certificate to the DCP indicating you are eligible for the state's medical marijuana program. Be sure to provide a valid email address!
The DCP will send you an email with additional application instructions once you have received your certification. You must submit proof of Connecticut residency (such as a utility bill or rent statement), upload a copy of your government-issued ID, and pay a $100 fee to complete your application online.
If your application is approved by the DCP, you will receive a temporary medical marijuana card via email within 48 hours. Within a few weeks, you will receive your physical card via email. With this card, you can buy medical marijuana from any licensed dispensary in CT.
With the passage of House Bill 5389 in 2012, medical marijuana became legal in Connecticut. This law established the medical cannabis program in the state, as well as rules for patients, dispensaries, and physicians. The state's first dispensary opened in South Windsor in 2014. Since 2011, when then-Governor Dannel Malloy signed Senate Bill 1014, Connecticut has decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana.
