Illinois’ first medical marijuana law was approved by former Gov. Pat Quinn in August 2013, when he signed the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act<\/a>. The law legalized the cultivation, sales, and use of medical cannabis in the state.<\/p>\n

Although medical marijuana passed into law back in 2013, patients that registered into the program only started buying cannabis a little while ago. Applications for growers, patients and sellers started late in 2014, and it took some time until dispensaries started operating.<\/p>\n

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill in July 2016 expanding the state\u2019s medical marijuana program until 2020. Apparently, it seems that now the state’s program is developing more constantly, and more than 35,000 patients have already registered in the program.<\/p>\n

As the 6th-most populous state of the US, it is expected that more medically-eligible patients are wanting to know how to get a medical marijuana card in Illinois<\/a>. So, here in this article, you are going to see all you need to know about getting your card and how Veriheal can help you with that.<\/p>\n

Who is an eligible patient for Illinois\u2019 marijuana program?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A medically-eligible patient must be at least 18 years, an Illinois resident with a proof of residency, not hold a school bus permit or Commercial Driver\u2019s License (CDL), not be an active duty law enforcement officer, correctional officer, correctional probation officer, or firefighter, and have been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition listed in the state\u2019s program.<\/p>\n

What are the qualifying medical conditions in the Illinois program?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The qualifying medical conditions include 40 approved medical debilitating conditions<\/a> such as cancer, HIV\/AIDS, epilepsy<\/a>, Parkinson\u2019s, Multiple Sclerosis, Chron\u2019s disease, Alzheimer and many others.<\/p>\n

What are the steps to get my medical marijuana card in Illinois?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first step to obtaining your medical marijuana card is to have a consultation with a physician licensed in the state of Illinois. This licensed Illinois mmj doctor will evaluate your ailments and determine if marijuana is a viable treatment option for you.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re approved by the physician as a qualified patient for Illinois medical marijuana program, he\/she will attest your medical condition and submit a written certification for the use of medical cannabis. If you\u2019re a veteran receiving medical care at a VA facility, you won’t need the certification.<\/p>\n

Once your physician has filled out the Physician Written Certification Form<\/a>, you must scan the form, save it as a .pdf document and upload it along with your online application or include the original document with your paper application. The certification must be received in 90 days of your application and must contain an in-person visit date in the last 90 days.<\/p>\n

Now that you have the doctor\u2019s certificate, you must either apply online<\/a> or you can print out this application<\/a> and send it to the state.<\/p>\n

Are there additional fees?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Each patient can apply for one, two, or three years registry identification card. The state provides a reduced application fee for veterans<\/a>, as well as those who receive Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).<\/p>\n
