[+]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?

[+]Do I qualify for a medical marijuana card?
MMJ.com physicians evaluate patients with chronic conditions causing ongoing symptoms. Common qualifying conditions across most states include chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and severe nausea. Each state maintains its own approved conditions list.
If your specific diagnosis is not listed, our doctors can evaluate whether your symptoms meet your state's criteria. Many states have catch-all provisions allowing physician discretion.
Qualifying conditions defined by each state's medical marijuana statute. See your state page for the complete list.
[+]What conditions qualify for a medical card?
Medical marijuana programs across states commonly approve chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, Parkinson's disease, and ALS. Many states also include anxiety, insomnia, and arthritis. Some states allow any condition a physician deems appropriate.
Chronic pain accounts for over 60% of medical marijuana patients nationwide. If you have documentation of ongoing treatment for pain, anxiety, or sleep issues, you likely qualify in your state.
Qualifying condition lists per state Department of Health medical marijuana program guidelines.
[+]Do I need medical records to get a medical card?
Medical records are helpful but not required by MMJ.com to schedule an evaluation. Physicians can often establish a qualifying condition during the consultation based on the patient's medical history discussion. Prior documentation speeds approval but is not mandatory.
If you do not have records, do not let that stop you. Many of our patients qualify based on their verbal medical history alone. The doctor will ask about your symptoms and treatments you have tried.
Per HIPAA and state medical board guidelines, physicians may establish diagnosis through patient history and clinical judgment.
[+]Is getting a medical card online legit?
Yes, MMJ.com is a legitimate telehealth service with state-licensed physicians registered in each state's medical marijuana program. Online evaluations produce legally valid recommendations identical to in-person clinic certifications. All dispensaries accept MMJ.com recommendations.

MMJ.com offers a 100% money-back guarantee on all evaluations. If the physician determines a patient does not qualify based on state requirements, no charge is applied for the consultation. Patients only pay the $149.99 fee if approved.
Our approval rate exceeds 95% because most patients who schedule have legitimate qualifying conditions. If you are unsure whether you qualify, message our support team before booking.
MMJ.com refund policy per Terms of Service.
[+]How do I renew my medical marijuana card?
MMJ.com renewal evaluations cost $149.99 and follow the same process as initial certifications. Patients complete a brief telehealth appointment before their current recommendation expires, typically annually. Most renewals take under 10 minutes since medical history is already established.
We send reminder emails 60, 30, and 14 days before your card expires. Do not let your card lapse, as expired cardholders cannot legally purchase cannabis until renewal is complete.
Renewal requirements vary by state. See your state page for specific timelines.
[+]Can I use my medical card in other states?
Medical marijuana reciprocity varies by state. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Maine, and Washington D.C. accept out-of-state cards with temporary registration. Most states including Florida and Pennsylvania do not offer reciprocity. Recreational states allow purchases for anyone 21+ regardless of card status.
If traveling to a reciprocity state, check their temporary registration requirements. In recreational states, you can shop at adult-use dispensaries with your regular ID but will pay higher taxes.
Reciprocity provisions vary by state. See MMJ.com reciprocity guide for current rules.

Endocannabinoid System
Your body's natural regulatory network
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:
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.
