A medical marijuana card is a legal document that allows patients to use medical marijuana for therapeutic purposes. To obtain this card, individuals must typically consult with a licensed healthcare provider who evaluates their medical condition and determines if they qualify for treatment with cannabis. Once approved, patients can apply for the card through their state’s health department or a designated agency. The card grants access to regulated dispensaries where patients can purchase medical cannabis products. Each state has its own rules regarding eligibility, application processes, and the types of conditions that qualify for treatment.
