To qualify for a medical marijuana card in California, you must:

* Be at least 18 years of age (if you’re under 18, you’ll need a legal guardian to register as your caregiver)

* Have a valid California driver’s license, ID, or US passport

* Have an California residential address

* Have a qualifying condition

In California, you may qualify for a medical marijuana card if you have a medical condition that causes chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, or other conditions that cannot be effectively treated with other medications. Conditions that are debilitating, terminal, or related to mental health may also qualify. A licensed physician must approve your condition before you can apply for a card.

If your medical condition isn't listed, you may still be eligible for medical marijuana in Arizona if a licensed doctor believes it can benefit your health. The doctor can provide a recommendation based on your symptoms and medical needs.

It’s simple. Use the form at the top of this page to begin the process, and Easy Medical Marijuana Card will start setting you up with a physician who can evaluate your health and confirm your condition.

In California, a medical marijuana card offers several benefits, including legal access to marijuana for medical use, the ability to purchase from licensed dispensaries, protection from legal penalties, and potential tax exemptions on purchases. It also allows patients to possess larger quantities of marijuana compared to recreational users.

Since cannabis is still classified as a Schedule 1 drug at the federal level, most insurance companies do not cover the cost of medical cannabis, no matter the state. Unless federal law changes, it's unlikely that insurance will cover medical cannabis. However, some states are working to pass laws that would allow or even require certain insurance providers to cover cannabis products.

Absolutely! You have the right to see any state-approved practitioner to assess your qualifying condition and discuss medical cannabis treatment.
