Common Questions About Medical Marijuana Cards

[+]

How do I get a medical marijuana card?

To obtain a medical marijuana card through MMJ.com, patients complete a quick online registration, then attend a 15-minute telehealth video or phone call with a state-licensed physician. If approved, the doctor's recommendation is delivered via email for immediate state registry submission.

The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes. You do not need to visit a clinic in person. We serve patients in 21+ states where telehealth evaluations are legally authorized.

Telehealth certifications authorized under state telemedicine laws in all states MMJ.com serves.

How much does a medical card cost?

MMJ.com charges a single evaluation fee of $149.99 for both new patients and renewals. This price covers the complete physician consultation and written recommendation required by the state. Patients are only billed if the doctor approves them for the program.

We do not charge hidden processing fees. However, most states also require a separate registry fee ranging from $0 to $100+ when you submit your application. Check your state page for exact costs.

State registry fees set by each state's Department of Health. See individual state pages for current fee schedules.

Can I get a medical card online?

Yes, MMJ.com is fully authorized to conduct medical marijuana evaluations online via telehealth. State laws allow licensed physicians to certify patients for medical cannabis through secure video calls on a smartphone or computer, eliminating the need to visit a physical clinic.

Online evaluations became permanently legal in most states following 2020 telehealth expansions. The process is identical to an in-person evaluation. Your recommendation is legally valid at any dispensary in your state.

Telehealth certification authorized under state-specific telemedicine laws in all states MMJ.com serves.

[+]

How long does it take to get a medical card?

Most MMJ.com patients receive their medical marijuana recommendation immediately after their appointment. Once the doctor submits approval, patients receive an email to complete state registration. Card issuance varies by state, from same-day digital access to 2-3 weeks for physical cards.

To get your card fastest, have your ID and any medical documentation ready before your appointment. We recommend applying to your state registry immediately after receiving your recommendation.

Processing times per state Department of Health published guidelines. See your state page for current timelines.

[+]

Can I get a medical card the same day?

Yes, MMJ.com offers same-day appointments and delivers recommendations immediately upon approval. Several states provide instant digital registry access, allowing patients to visit a dispensary the same day they complete their evaluation. Processing time depends on each state's registry system.

For fastest results, have your ID ready and apply to your state registry right after receiving your recommendation. Some states offer expedited processing for an additional fee.

Same-day access availability varies by state. See your state page for digital access options.

Medical Science

How Medical Marijuana Works

To understand why medical cannabis is effective, you must understand the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is a vast network of chemical signals and cellular receptors throughout our brains and bodies.

The ECS controls critical bodily functions:

Sleep
Mood
Memory
Pain Sensation
Appetite
Immune Response

Cannabis contains phytocannabinoids (like THC and CBD) that mimic our body's natural endocannabinoids. These compounds bind to ECS receptors (CB1 and CB2), helping restore balance and alleviate symptoms of chronic conditions.
