How to Get an Arizona Medical Marijuana Card Online

  1. 1

    Register online with Leafwell

    Speak to a Leafwell healthcare provider to get approved for an Arizona medical marijuana card online.

    The consultation costs $149, and you’ll get your money back if you’re not approved.

  2. 2

    Discuss Medical Marijuana with your Doctor

    You’ll consult with an MMJ doctor for around 15 minutes to evaluate your condition and ask any questions you may have about your medical marijuana treatment. Your certificate will be available immediately after approval.

  3. 3

    Apply for a Card with the State of Arizona

    Complete your state application on the ADHS Individual Licensing Portal – you’ll need a copy of your Leafwell certification and a Medical Marijuana Patient Attestation.

  4. 4

    Receive your card from the state

    Arizona does not have physical medical cannabis cards. The AZ versions are electronic MMJ ID cards.

    Once you receive your digital AZ MMJ Card, you can legally begin purchasing medical marijuana in Arizona at a dispensary near you! Approval takes approximately 15 business days.

Very patient and helpful with my needs. Doctor call me back very quickly and made me feel like I was talking to my family doctor. I will definitely recommend anyone who need it.

Leesha M.

This year was the third time I've re-certified using Leafwell & I love it. They have flexible telemedicine appointment times and dates, and I appreciate how they offer promotions periodically via email and dispensaries for discounted re-certifications. I've seen Dr. Kantha the past two times - she's been prompt, familiar with my chart when she hops on the call, and very kind. The process is always quick and seamless. I usually recommend Leafwell to anyone seeking an initial certification or re-certification.

Benefits of Getting an Arizona Medical Card

You don’t have to have an MMJ card to legally buy cannabis in Arizona, but there are multiple reasons to become a cardholder.

  • Lower age of legal consumption
  • Lower taxes on cannabis
  • Greater cultivation limits for those who live far away from a dispensary
  • Higher possession limits
  • Greater levels of employment and housing protection

About Medical Marijuana in Arizona

Ballot Proposition 203 "The Arizona Medical Marijuana Act" was approved in 2012. This means that a patient with a written or oral certificate by a physician could use, cultivate and possess cannabis. Arizona’s first medical marijuana dispensary, Arizona Organic, opened in 2012.

Like many other states, Arizona has expanded its telemedicine services and has ordered insurance companies to expand coverage (although medical cannabis is unlikely to be covered by insurance due to its federally illegal status). The barriers have been lowered, meaning that you can speak to a physician online about medical cannabis certification.

Recreational, adult-use marijuana is legal in Arizona. For those 21 or older, possession of up to 1 ounce (28 g) of marijuana (with no more than 5 grams being marijuana concentrate), or growing up to 6 marijuana plants at their home (with up to 12 marijuana plants in households with two or more adult members) is now legal.

How to qualify

You must be 18 to apply for a medical marijuana card for yourself, and caregivers must be 18 years old or over.

  1. You will need:

    • Valid ID from the state of Arizona. Driver’s license, passport, or state-produced ID card – patients must be a resident of Arizona unless they visit qualifying patients.
    • Proof of address – bank statement, utility bill, correspondence with a state department.
    • Medical records – progress/doctor’s notes, medical images, medication list.

Possession and Growing

Qualifying Arizona patients may possess up to 2.5 ounces of medical marijuana every 14 days.

Only qualifying patients who live more than 25 miles away from a legally recognized marijuana dispensary may cultivate medical marijuana. Up to 12 cannabis plants can be grown for a qualifying individual.

Caregivers

Medical Marijuana patients in Arizona can have a caregiver.

The patient fills in caregiver information on the application form for medical marijuana. Caregivers will need a completed physician’s attestation form, and they’ll require their completed application form, too. The process for a Caregiver’s medical cannabis card is similar to the process for a patient. Schools, colleges, and universities do not have to accommodate medical cannabis use on campus, although they cannot discriminate against medical cannabis cardholders when it comes to enrolment.

To apply as a caregiver, follow this process:

  1. 01

    The patient must complete the application and be approved by ADHS before the caregiver can assist.

  2. 02

    Go to the state website. Fill out the application form.

  3. 03

    Complete the designated caregiver attestation form.

  4. 04

    Once approved, you will receive a caregiver’s identification card.

Reciprocity

Limited reciprocity is available to ‘visiting qualifying patients.’

To qualify, the patient:

  1. must not be a resident of Arizona (or has resided in Arizona for less than 30 days)
  2. must have been diagnosed with a medical condition recognized under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act
  3. must possess a medical marijuana registration card or its equivalent that was issued pursuant to the laws of another state.

The out-of-state registration card has the same force and effect as a card issued in Arizona, except that the visiting qualifying patient may not purchase medical marijuana in Arizona.

An Arizona medical marijuana card is recognized in some other states with a medical marijuana program, although the digital format may make this difficult in some places on occasion.
