You must be at least 18 years old to apply for the medical cannabis program in Washington.

Minor patients may apply with consent from a custodial parent or legal guardian.

Designated providers (aka caregivers) must be at least 21 years old.

Please note: Leafwell can only see renewing patients online. We are unable to assist with any initial certifications at this time.

Yes, medical marijuana patients in Washington can have a caregiver, but they are called designated providers instead of caregivers.

Caregiver (Designated Provider) Requirements:

• Must be 21 years of age or older.
• The designated provider is a parent or guardian of a qualifying patient who is under the age of 18 or a person who has been designated by the patient to purchase, provide, or grow marijuana on the patient’s behalf.
• Designated providers can only serve one patient at a time. A patient may have only one designated provider at any one time.
• Designated providers must be listed on the patient’s medical cannabis authorization form.
• Have a fully completed form printed on tamper-resistant paper. The patient signs their copy of the authorization form, and the designated provider signs their own copy.
• If the patient chooses to be entered into the database for the medical cannabis program, the designated provider must also be entered into the database and have a designated provider recognition card. Patients under the age of 18 are required by law to have a designated provider and to be entered into the medical cannabis database.

Here’s how the caregiver (designated provider) process works:

1. Submit the designated provider’s name, date of birth, and address during Leafwell’s registration under the “Caregiver” section.
2. The designated provider will receive a copy of the authorization form on tamper-proof paper in the mail after the patient is approved.
3. Qualifying patients who would like to designate a new provider must return to their healthcare practitioner to get a new authorization form for themselves and the new designated provider.

• FAQ for Designated Providers

Once you’ve received your medical marijuana authorization, it’s recommended, but not required, that you join the medical cannabis authorization database. Patients and designated providers who hold valid authorizations but aren’t entered into the database may only purchase cannabis per the laws and rules for non-patients.

Patients entered into the database will also have an affirmative defense against criminal prosecution if they possess no more than four plants and six ounces of usable marijuana.

To join the medical marijuana authorization database, follow these steps:

1. Take your authorization form to any licensed and medically endorsed marijuana store.
2. The medical marijuana consultant will enter your details into the medical marijuana database.
3. They will also take your photo and provide you with a card. There is a fee that ranges from $1 to $10.
