Step 1. Check Qualifying Conditions

STEP 2. Register Online

STEP 3. Update State ID

It's important that the address listed on your PA driver’s license or PENN-DOT issued ID card reflects your current address.  If not, you will have to update your PA state ID before applying for a medical marijuana card.

STEP 4. Consult a Certified Doctor

STEP 5. Designate Caregivers (optional)

If you are a patient that is under the age of 18, you will be required to designate up to two caregivers. If you are an adult patient that requires in-home support, has a disability, or simply wishes to use caregivers, you may designate up to two caregivers. Caregivers must visit the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Medical Marijuana Program registry.
