How to Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Washington
Now that you have your MMJ authorization, you can be registered in the database to become a cardholder. When you become a cardholder in Washington, you will have several benefits, like possessing and growing more plants, purchasing products from retail stores tax-free, purchasing high-THC products and some other benefits that you can check on this page of Washington’s Department of Health.
To join the database and become a cardholder, you will have to do a few things. First, you will take your authorization form and give it a consultant in any licensed and medically endorsed marijuana store who is authorized to work with medical marijuana patients. From there, he will take your authorization form of MMJ patient and he will enter your information in the database, take a picture of you and create your card. You’ll have to pay a $1 fee to create your card, and the endorsed store will collect it and pay to the Department of Health.
Those are the steps you need to take to get your medical marijuana card in Washington.
