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

1. Register online with Leafwell

You can speak to a doctor and qualify for a West Virginia medical marijuana card online. The cost of the online consultation is $199. 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 on the government website

After your appointment, you’ll receive the next steps to help guide you through the state process. Once approved, you can download your card from the website. Approval takes 30-60 days. The card is valid for 1 year.

West Virginia residents aged 18 and up diagnosed with at least one qualifying medical condition may be eligible to apply for a medical cannabis card.

Patients under 18 must have a caregiver to apply on their behalf. Caregivers must be at least 21 years of age and approved to obtain medical cannabis from state dispensaries and deliver it to a patient.

West Virginia defines a caregiver as an individual at least 21 years of age or older who has been approved to obtain medical cannabis from state dispensaries and deliver it to a patient. Patients may not designate more than two caregivers, and a caregiver may not serve more than five patients at once.

Caregivers must be on the telemedicine consultation with the patient. They must apply online for a separate identification card and undergo a criminal background check. Caregivers must not have been convicted of a drug felony within the past five years.

Our healthcare provider will submit your certification directly into the state’s online licensing and registration system. After we submit your information, it can take between 30 and 60 days before your application is approved. Once approved, you can download a digital copy of your medical cannabis card (valid for one year).
