How It Works
Since its inception in 2016, PA has taken great strides to make the process of obtaining a card for medical cannabis fairly straight forward. In fact, you may be eligible for this program even if you are under the age of 18. As long as a caregiver can assist you through the process and you can show your medical need, you may be found eligible.
The Sanctuary team is here to help you every step of the way. Whether you have questions regarding the registration process or you have concerns about the evaluation, we can encourage you to reach out to us to learn more about how marijuana can help ease the pain associated with a variety of medical issues.
We don't have online booking. However, all appointments are via telemedicine in Pennsylvania. Instead we prefer to be available to assist clients on the phone. This way we can give them the help they need regarding medical marijuana card evaluations in real time. When you are ready to book an appointment, simply reach out to us. In most cases, we will be able to provide you with an appointment within 24 hours of the time that you reached out to us if not on the same day.
You will need to register with the state with your driver's license ID number. The system will give you an ID number that the doctor will upload at your appointment to update your records to reflect that you have been certified for medical marijuana treatment. It's important to keep your log in information on hand because you will need to log back into your account once you obtain your certification.
Before you submit your information on this website, a good rule of thumb is to review it to ensure that it is correct. For example, if your phone number was entered incorrectly, our office or the state may have issues in reaching you if there are any questions. Also, once you qualify for a card, it will be sent directly to the address that you entered so it's imperative that the information that you submit is completely accurate.
The next step in the process is to consult with the medical doctor for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your ailments and ask questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. He or she will go through your medical history with you to determine whether or not you qualify for this program according to certain state laws. If you are found eligible, your certification will be issued at your appointment.
After you have certified by the doctor you will need to login to the account initially used to register and submit the fee to the PA department of health. The registration fee is $50.00, however, if you are receiving assistance through a government program there is a chance that you may qualify for a reduced registration fee. Keep in mind that you will need to pay a registration fee every year going forward. Once the fee is paid, the DOH will mail you medical marijuana card to the address on your driver's license that you used to register initially.
Once your medical marijuana card arrives in the mail you may visit any dispensary in Pennsylvania to purchase medical marijuana. An initial visit with a dispensary pharmacist is highly recommend. A Dispensary pharmacist has been trained and certified on the best forms of medical marijuana for your specific needs. This type of pharmacist will be able to provide you with a thorough explanation regarding the available MMJ options as well as more information regarding creams, CBD, THC and tinctures so that you receive the most benefit from Pennsylvania medical marijuana.
When you are ready to visit one a medical marijuana dispensary, we will be able to provide you with recommendations of local dispensaries that can assist you.
