How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania

step 1

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

Your driver's license ID number must be used to register with the state. When you make an appointment, the doctor will upload your ID number from the system, updating your records to reflect that you have been approved for medical marijuana therapy. You will need to enter back into your account after you receive your certification, so it's crucial that you keep your log-in details somewhere safe and accessible.

step 2

Meet with a Certified Doctor from the Sanctuary

Next, you will need to receive certification for a medical marijuana card from a doctor who has been certified with the PA Department of Health. For your convenience, you can schedule a telehealth appointment with one of The Sanctuary’s medical marijuana doctors. Your meeting will be brief, in which you will spend 10 to 15 minutes discussing your health concerns and any questions you might have regarding the use of medical marijuana. If your doctor decides that you qualify, they will give your certification that same day.

step 3

Complete Registration on PA DOH Website

Once your physician has certified you, you must log into the account you originally used to register in order to pay the charge to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The registration charge is $50, but there is a possibility that you could be eligible for a reduced registration fee if you receive help from a government program. Remember that moving forward, you will be required to pay an annual registration fee. The DOH will mail your medical marijuana card to the address on your driver's license that you provided when you first registered once that fee has been paid.

How Does the Renewal Process Work?

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 from a dispensary in Pennsylvania, your certification must be updated every 12 months. This mandatory annual renewal ensures patient safety by requiring every individual to visit their doctor and confirm medical cannabis treatment is still appropriate for them.

An email will be sent to you 60 days before your certificate expires reminding you to renew it. You may make an online renewal appointment with any of the licensed medical marijuana doctors at the Sanctuary. It will be similar to your original MMJ card consultation.

Thirty days before the payment deadline for your renewal, the Department of Health will also send you an email reminder. After that, you may go 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 charge within 30 days of receiving this message.

Your doctor will inquire about your signs and symptoms as well as how you feel during and/or after using medicinal marijuana. Based on your experience, you might inquire about things like dosages 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 shown 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 replacement card.

How to Become a Medical Marijuana Caregiver

In Pennsylvania, persons who register with the state's medical marijuana program can buy medicinal marijuana on behalf of children, adults who are housebound, and those who need help because of a condition. Registered caregivers must be at least 21 years of age and possess a current driver's license or other Pennsylvania state-issued identification card.

  1. As a caregiver, you must register with the Department of Health. To create your account, you must include 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 provider. People who have been found guilty of a crime involving the sale or possession of narcotics or other prohibited substances during the last five years are unable to work as carers. After your appointment for fingerprinting, it will take up to six weeks for the state to process your background check.

  1. Once you pass the 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 appointment with one of the Sanctuary's licensed physicians.

As a caregiver, you are only permitted to visit dispensaries and buy marijuana if your account is linked to a valid patient. If you look after an adult, they can link you to their online account as their caregiver and grant you permission to buy cannabis goods on their behalf. In order to become patients, minors or persons with debilitating impairments 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. Each customer must be a resident of Pennsylvania in order to receive a medical marijuana certification and buy medicinal cannabis from dispensaries. To become certified to prescribe medical cannabis, a doctor must be PDH-approved.

The Sanctuary team pledges to help patients from Yardley, Philadelphia, Doylestown, and other parts of Pennsylvania access medical marijuana treatment in the Newtown region.

Prospective patients should note that the state’s fee doesn’t include the cost of visiting a medical marijuana doctor before submitting your application.
