Washington State Process

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

Once you've received your medical marijuana authorization, there is one more, optional (but recommended) step.

This simple next step is recommended because patients and designated providers who hold valid authorizations but aren't entered into the database may purchase only in accordance with the laws and rules for non-patients.

They will have an affirmative defense to criminal prosecution if they possess no more than four plants and six ounces of usable marijuana.

  1. Take your authorization form to any licensed and medically endorsed marijuana store

  2. The medical marijuana consultant will enter your details into the database

  3. They will also take your photo and provide you with a card - there is a fee which ranges from $1 to $10

You can find up to date information about medically endorsed stores here.
