According to Pennsylvania state law, you can be authorized for an MMJ ID card if you have HIV/AIDS or multiple sclerosis. The majority of the application process is done online. The registration page is quite simple to use, but if you run into any difficulties getting a patient ID number, our team can help.
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.
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.
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.
You can buy medicinal marijuana at any dispensary in Pennsylvania once your medical marijuana card arrives in the mail. Keep in mind that, while being able to legally acquire it, you can't just visit any grower. You must visit a marijuana dispensary that has received state approval. Furthermore, you are only permitted to buy a maximum of a 30-day supply.

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.
