Obtain an Arizona Medical Cannabis Card
The state requires you to provide a valid Arizona Driver’s License and an Arizona residential address (this is where the medical marijuana card will be mailed) when submitting the certification documents. An experienced medical marijuana doctor office will assist you with this entire process.
If your doctor doesn’t assist with submitting your certification documents to the ADHS, then you’ll need to submit them here. Once submitted, your medical marijuana card should arrive in the mail within 10 business days (typically in 5 days). You can check your medical marijuana application status online here.
When you have your Arizona medical marijuana card you can visit any Arizona dispensary and purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every 2 weeks. Learn more about medical marijuana laws here.
Contact a marijuana doctor if you have any questions.
