Maryland State Process

Congratulations on getting approved for your medical certification. Here's a guide to what you need to do next.

Getting Your Maryland Medical Marijuana Card

1. Once you have been approved by Leafwell physician and provided them with your Maryland patient number, our physician will submit your medical marijuana certification - you do not need to do anything - our physician will provide all supporting documentation on your behalf to the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA).
2. MCA will review your application and the certification provided by Leafwell. They will email you once you have been approved.
3. Log back into your existing state account at https://onestop.md.gov/users/sign_in.
4. Within this account, you can print your temporary MCA patient ID card. Your physical card, paid for when you first registered, will be mailed to you. Delivery times vary widely at this time. While the state claims to mail within 90 days, some patients wait up to 8 months.
5. You can purchase medical cannabis from a licensed Maryland dispensary using your temporary card with ID until the physical card arrives.  

Notes:

• When purchasing medical cannabis at a licensed dispensary you will be required to present either your permanent or temporary MCA ID card. The dispensary agent will verify your certification in the Administration’s database before conducting any transaction.
• You may only purchase and obtain a maximum of a thirty-day supply of medical cannabis at one time.
