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

1. Before you see a physician in Maryland, you need to obtain a patient number from the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. You’ll have to pay a $25 fee, but your registration is valid for six years.
2. Create a Leafwell account using a valid email address and choose a password. You’ll then be asked to complete a brief questionnaire of personal and health information and to upload some ID. You will need to provide your MMCC patient number. You will need a smartphone, computer, or tablet with a reliable internet connection and a working camera to be seen by a Leafwell provider.
3. Next, you will be taken to the virtual waiting room, where you’ll be connected with a Leafwell provider for a video chat. During the video chat, the provider will assess your health situation to determine if you qualify for a medical marijuana certification.
4. Suppose you are approved for medical marijuana certification. In that case, your physician will confirm your status with the MMCC, and you will receive an email with a temporary MMCC ID, followed by the physical card. These allow you to purchase products from medical marijuana dispensaries in Maryland.

Getting Your Maryland Medical Marijuana Card

1. Once you have been approved by Leafwell physician and provided with your Maryland patient number, our physician will submit your medical marijuana certification – you do not need to do anything – our physician will provide all supporting documentation on your behalf to the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC).
2. MMCC will review your application and the certification provided by Leafwell. They will email you once you have been approved.
3. Log back into your existing state account at https://onestop.md.gov/users/sign_in
4. Within this account, you can print your temporary MMCC patient ID card. Your physical card, paid for when you first registered, will be mailed to you. Delivery times vary widely at this time. While the state claims to mail within 90 days, some patients wait up to eight months. Note: The State of Maryland charges $25 for your registration, valid for six years.
5. You can purchase medical cannabis from a licensed Maryland dispensary using your temporary card, with ID, until the physical card arrives. The state charges $50 to replace your card if you lose it.

Notes:

• When purchasing medical cannabis at a licensed dispensary, you must present either your permanent or temporary MMCC ID card. The dispensary agent will verify your certification in the Commission’s database before conducting any transaction.
• You may only purchase and obtain a maximum of a thirty-day supply of medical cannabis at one time.

Important note: A certification not used to purchase medical cannabis, at a licensed dispensary in the state of Maryland, within 120 days of issuance becomes null and void.
