How to Become an MMJ Patient

If you’re not a patient with New York’s Medical Marijuana Program, you can’t purchase products from local dispensaries. These locations are reserved for those who are qualified and have gone through the application process. If you feel medical marijuana would improve your quality of life and health, follow these steps to join the program:

1. Get a medical marijuana examination from a qualified physician to receive a written recommendation.
2. Fill out an application with the NY Department of Health.
3. If approved, you’ll be mailed a Medical Marijuana Program Registry ID Card.

Local Dispensaries

Before entering a dispensary, the staff will need to see three documents — make sure these are not expired before you visit:

1. A state-issued driver’s license or ID
2. Your Registry ID Card
3. Your doctor’s medical marijuana recommendation

With these in hand, you can walk in to purchase your medical marijuana. However, appointments are preferred so patients don’t have to wait to be helped. The staff can assist you in finding the products that will best treat your symptoms. They can also answer any questions you may have.

When you’re ready to check out, you can purchase up to a 30-day supply of medicine. However, you may not be able to buy that much if your doctor has recommended a lower dosage.

You can make an appointment right here on MarijuanaDoctors.com by clicking on the dispensary you’d like to visit.

Products Available

Every medical marijuana producer in New York must grow their products in climate-controlled, sterile conditions. They ensure the highest standards by requiring lab testing. All cannabis is profiled for its cannabinoid content.

Forms of medical marijuana available at local dispensaries include liquids and oils used for vaporization, as well as ingestible oil capsules. State law also requires these locations to carry at least one product with an equal THC and CBD ratio, and one product high in CBD.
