What's the Process to Renew My Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Card?

girl blue

It's easy to renew your medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania. All that is needed is an updated certificate and the renewal fee. You can continue to be a patient for as long as you like after being added to the state's registry.

To buy marijuana at a dispensary in Pennsylvania, your certification must be renewed every 12 months. The state requires a doctor reevaluation to make sure medical marijuana is still appropriate and safe in each specific circumstance.

An email will be sent to you 60 days before your certificate expires reminding you to renew it. Then, you can make an online or in-person appointment with any of the licensed medical marijuana doctors at the Sanctuary. It will be similar to your initial medical cannabis evaluation.

Thirty days prior to the payment deadline for your renewal, the Department of Health will also send you an email reminder. After that, you can log into your account to confirm that a legitimate payment method is still stored there. Your card won't expire if you pay the $50 renewal fee within 30 days of receiving this notice.

Your doctor will inquire about your symptoms as well as how you feel during and after using medical marijuana. Based on your experiences, you can broach topics such as dosage and side effects. Your certification will be sent to the state's registry by the doctor. It will instantly connect to your account.

Make sure the address that is listed for you online is correct. As long as 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

In Pennsylvania, caregivers are those who register with the state's medical marijuana program to buy medical marijuana on behalf of children, adults who are housebound, and people who need assistance because of a disability. Registered caregivers must be over 21 and possess a current driver's license or other Pennsylvania state-issued identification card.

  1. As a caregiver, you must first register with the Department of Health. To create your account, you must supply your name and address, the name of the patient you will be helping, their program ID number, and their name.
  2. Submit to a criminal background check via the state's vendor. People who have been found guilty of a crime involving the sale or possession of drugs or other controlled substances within the previous five years are ineligible to serve as caregivers. After your appointment for fingerprinting, it can take up to six weeks to process your background check.

  1. Once you pass your background check, the state will email you to let you know. The $50 registration fee can then be paid. Medical marijuana cards for caregivers have yearly expiration dates.
  2. Make an online / in-person appointment with one of our licensed medical marijuana physicians.

As a caregiver, you are only permitted to visit dispensaries and buy marijuana if your account is linked to a valid patient's. If you look after an adult, they can link you to their online account as their caregiver and give you permission to buy cannabis products on their behalf. In order to become patients in the first place, 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 medicinal marijuana lawful. You must be a resident of Pennsylvania in order to apply for a medical marijuana card and purchase medicinal marijuana from dispensaries. To become certified for medical marijuana treatment, a PDH-approved physician must confirm you have a qualifying condition.

Call (484)-352-3600 to arrange your evaluation and ask any questions you may have about the state's medical cannabis program.

In order to be eligible to receive an official Pennsylvania medical marijuana card, you must be diagnosed with one of the following qualifying conditions:

You can do so by scheduling a recertification appointment with a medical marijuana doctor at the Sanctuary within 60 days of your card’s expiration. These visits are quick, easy, and can be completed online. You will receive a new MMJ card in the mail once your doctor has approved your recertification and you’ve paid the state’s $50 fee.
