Schedule an appointment to see a medical marijuana doctor in CT through Veriheal at a time that is most convenient for you. Provide basic medical history and book your appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor. You will need medical records and the doctor(s) can approve any qualifying condition.
Consult with a doctor for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your ailments, and ask any questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. After the appointment is complete and if you are approved, the doctor will fill out a recommendation form for medical marijuana. Once you have this you can then apply to the state.
Once you are approved, you’ll register with the state and submit an application. There is an additional registration fee for $100 in the state of Connecticut. The state will process your application and notify you of your approval and mail your card. Once you have your card in hand, you can begin purchasing from dispensaries. If you haven’t received your certification and it has been greater than 3 weeks, please contact CT State Medical Marijuana program directly.
In Connecticut, medical marijuana patients will need to re-certify their license annually by seeing a licensed physician again. Veriheal will get in touch with you when your certification is approaching its expiration to help you set up a renewal consultation.
