There are four simple steps to seeing a Leafwell provider in Iowa to obtain your medical marijuana card:

1. Register online with Leafwell
   Create an account online, then you can speak to a doctor and qualify for an Iowa medical marijuana card. You are only billed if approved.
2. Attend your appointment and discuss with your physician why you would like an MMJ Card
   The doctor will review your medical records and ask you questions based on your medical history. They will provide you with advice and guidance on whether medical marijuana is a good choice for you.
3. Receive your certificate from Leafwell
   This is a certificate which says that your doctor recommends you become a cannabis patient under the state’s current laws and this certificate is required to apply for your MMJ Card.
4. Complete the Medical Marijuana Application
   After your appointment, you’ll receive the next steps to help guide you through the state process. Once approved, the state will mail you your card. (Please note: Leafwell will not be sending you the card – this is the state of Iowa’s responsibility). The card is valid for 1 year.
