How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania

step 1

Register for the medical marijuana program at medicalmarijuana.pa.gov

Because marijuana is a controlled substance, you will need to go through a formal process to qualify for the program. You must register with the state, providing your driver's license ID number and current address. The system will assign you a patient ID number, which the doctor will use to update your records to reflect that you have been certified for medical marijuana treatment.

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

After the doctor has certified you, you must log in to the account you used to register and pay the $50 application fee to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The DOH will mail your medical marijuana card to the address listed on your driver's license when you registered with the patient or caregiver registry. Keep in mind that if your movement disorders qualify you for a government assistance program such as Medicaid or WIC, you may be eligible for a reduced registration fee.

How do I Renew My Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Card?

It's easy to renew your medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania. All that is needed is an updated certificate and the renewal payment. 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 updated every 12 months. This time period ensures patient safety by necessitating a reevaluation to make sure medicinal marijuana is still appropriate and safe for each person.

An email will be sent to you 60 days before your certificate expires reminding you to renew it. Then, you can make an online appointment with any of the licensed medical marijuana doctors at the Sanctuary. The visit will be similar to your original medical cannabis consultation.

Thirty days prior to the payment deadline for your renewal, the Department of Health will also send you an email reminder. You can log into your account to confirm that a legitimate payment method is still on file. 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 after using medical marijuana. Based on your experience, you may ask about dosages and side effects. Your certification will be sent to the state's registry by your doctor. It will instantly connect to your account.

Make sure the address that is listed for you 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 medical marijuana on behalf of children, adults who are housebound, and people who need help because of a debilitating condition. Registered caregivers must be at least 21 years of age and possess a current driver's license or other 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. Undergo a criminal background check via the state's provider. People who have been found guilty of a crime involving the sale or possession of drugs or other prohibited substances during the past five years are ineligible to work as carers. After your appointment for fingerprinting, it can take up to six weeks 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 medical professionals.

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 give you permission to buy cannabis goods on their behalf. In order to become patients, minors or persons with impairments must register with you as their caregiver.

Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Card Conditions

The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed the Medical Marijuana Act (Act) on April 17, 2016. This made the sale, possession, and use of medical cannabis legal. Each patient must be a Pennsylvania resident in order to obtain a medical marijuana card and purchase medical cannabis from dispensaries. In order to obtain certification, a PDH-approved doctor must verify their patient's medical condition.

The MMJ program is open to patients of any years of age. Whether you have intractable seizures or intractable pain, there is a possibility that you may be eligible for marijuana card after your background check. Our team prides itself on working with patients that are combating serious medical issues such as a terminal illness, Tourette, autism, or epilepsy throughout PA. Whether you live in Harrisburg or in the Philadelphia area, you can rest assured that our staff will do everything that we can to help you obtain your Pennsylvania cannabis card.
