How often do I need to renew my California Medical Marijuana Card?

California medical marijuana recommendations are valid for one year and can be renewed online. A renewal consultation with Leafwell costs $39, and you'll only be charged if approved. A physician-issued Leafwell patient ID card can be added for $10.

Here's a summary of the renewal process:

  1. Sign in to Leafwell, or if you’re new to Leafwell, register as a renewal patient here.
  2. Speak to a California-licensed physician online.
  3. Get approved and download a digital copy of your renewed recommendation letter.
  4. Purchase cannabis from a licensed medical dispensary. You will receive a hard copy of your recommendation in the mail within 7-10 business days.
