Doctor and Practitioner Related

If you have already visited your practitioner regarding participation in the medical cannabis program and you do not see a practitioner certification available, please contact your practitioner. Your practitioner must first be approved to participate in the program and then submit an electronic certification on your behalf. You will then be able to submit your application. If the date of birth and/or social security number does not match, you will not be able to access the certification. Contact our office for help.
