To become a medical marijuana patient in MA you first must meet 3 requirements before beginning the application process.
In order to be a valid medical patient in MA, you must first be certified by a qualified health care provider. Make an appointment to consult with your primary care provider & see if the Medical Marijuana Program is right for you!
??Once approved your healthcare provider will give you a Pin Number/set of instructions to complete your registration with the state of MA
After you've been certified by a qualified healthcare provider you need to register online in the Medical Use of Marijuana Program Online System.
To do so, you must gather:
Your PIN number, given to you by your doctor
Current, acceptable form of identification (ID)
Current, accepted photograph of yourself
If you cannot register online, you may do so with a paper application. This is a lengthier process, which you can start by calling (833) 869-6820.
If you'd like, you can select as many as 2 caregivers to help you with your medical marijuana use. You can register your caregiver through your CCC registration portal!
