Arizona voters passed the first medical marijuana law in 2010, approving the Proposition 203, which legalized the use of medical cannabis under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA). The law also removed all state-level criminal penalties for using and possessing medical cannabis.
The Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS) was responsible for regulating the state’s medical marijuana law. Recently, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that medical marijuana extracts are illegal.
According to released data on September 2018, Arizona has about 175,000 medical marijuana patients and more than 100 operating medical marijuana dispensaries.
In case you are an Arizona resident and wish to obtain your medical marijuana card, this article contains a guide that will show you how to easily get your card.
The first step for you to get your medical marijuana card is to schedule an appointment with a marijuana physician licensed to work in the state of Arizona.
As you get to your consultation, you must talk to the physician about your ailments, who will evaluate if you have one of the medical conditions listed in the AZ medical marijuana program. If you are approved by the physician, he/she will fill out and sign an official ADHS medical marijuana certification form recommending you medical cannabis.
After you have received the official signed ADHS medical marijuana form from a licensed physician, you will have to gather some additional documents necessary to complete your online ADHS application.
These documents include a photo ID, a recent photograph separated from your official photo ID, phone number, address, date of birth, and others. For the full list click here.
Once you gathered all your documents and the doctor’s recommendation, you can finish submitting your application. You can see the status of your application in their online service.
There’s a fee of $150 dollars that you must pay for an initial or renewal registry card.
*All documents must be scanned and uploaded into a PDF format and they must all be submitted online. Hand delivered applications won’t be accepted.
