Diamond Bar Medical Marijuana Doctors

Medical Marijuana Doctors in Diamond Bar, CA

The California Medical Marijuana Program brings compassionate healthcare to many suffering patients in Diamond Bar, Calif., and beyond. When you apply for your Medical Marijuana Identification Card, you can gain access to local dispensaries that provide high-grade cannabis to qualified patients.

In 2018, recreational users will also be able to purchase marijuana at retail locations. But until then, patients in the MMP are the only residents with access to these products. To get your MMIC, you’ll need:

• A doctor recommendation stating you have a qualifying condition
• To apply in the California county where you live
• Proof of identity, like a state-issued ID
• Proof of residency, like a utility bill, if your ID isn’t state-issued

Who Qualifies for the Medical Marijuana Program?

Certain medical conditions qualify patients for the MMP. These are debilitating disorders that dramatically impair quality of life, including, but not limited to:

• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy side effects
• Fibromyalgia
• Migraine headaches
• Anxiety
• Glaucoma
• AIDS or HIV
• Cancer
• Multiple sclerosis
• Arthritis

Medical Marijuana Evaluation

The evaluation performed by a qualified physician is the first step to obtaining your Medical Marijuana Identification Card. The doctor will:

• Access your medical records
• Perform a medical examination
• Write a recommendation if you’re approved
• Give you a copy of the recommendation and keep a copy with your medical records

Be sure to sign a medical release after your examination so your county’s program can process your application. Once you have your recommendation, you must apply in person at your county’s program facility.
