How do I obtain a medical marijuana card?

In New York, obtaining a medical marijuana card is a multi-step process. First, you need to be evaluated by a certified practitioner who will need to determine that your medical condition meets the state’s requirements. If you qualify, your practitioner will complete a certification form for the Department of Health. This form will need to be submitted along with an application fee. After submitting your application, you will receive an email with a link to create an account on the New York Medical Marijuana Program website. This website will allow you to choose a dispensary location, register your payment options, make orders, and check the status of your application. Once you’ve completed the online process, your medical marijuana card will be sent to you with your designated dispensary’s contact information. You will need to bring a valid form of identification with you on your first visit to the dispensary. After that, your card and your medical marijuana will be available for you to pick up. If you have any questions during this process, you can contact the New York Medical Marijuana Program at (888) 577-6663 or contact your practitioner’s office for assistance. They will be able to guide you through the process so you can obtain your medical marijuana card.
