Medical Cannabis Card Registration
Registering for your cannabis card can be a daunting task, or it can be made simple with the right tools. Below are a couple guides to make the process simpler.
Register For an Initial Cannabis Card
The process to register for a cannabis card can be simplified into just a few basic steps. First, you will meet with a QMP to determine eligibility and alternative options for management of your conditions (pain is the most common condition and indication for medical cannabis, followed by PTSD, seizures, and cancer). After it is determined that this would be an appropriate measure (cannabis as a prescription), then you will need to do the work in preparation for your initial medical cannabis appointment. Follow the steps below. Prior to arrival to your appointment, it is best to have submitted your application (it should say "awaiting certification" at the top of your EVS page).

Renew Cannabis Card
It is best to start this process about 3-4 weeks before your card expires (no more than that, though). All you will have to do is click "submit application" at the bottom of your EVS summary page. See the below instructions for further detail from the state.
Under 21?
If you're under 21 years of age, the process is a bit more involved. This is because it can do a number of things to growing brains. One concerning side effect of the medication is that it can slow front lobe development. This is the part of the brain that does forward processing and planning. This part of the brain is slowest to develop and is often the reason for "car surfing" and instant gratification behaviors in teens.
You have to go through the compassionate use board. This process can take a bit more time. Be prepared to wait 3 months for an answer. Although none of this is certain, so long as you have good indications for cannabis, and minimal reasons that you should NOT be using it, then you still have a good chance of being approved by the state. The button below will bring you to the state website to walk you through the steps.
