Find a Registered Medical Marijuana Doctor In Utah
The first step in getting your Utah medical marijuana card is to be evaluated and certified by a state-licensed medical cannabis doctor.
The majority of doctors in the state are not comfortable with certifying patients for the Utah medical marijuana program because marijuana remains illegal on a federal level. In addition, doctors must complete a 4-hour marijuana education course and apply with the state to become a “Qualified Medical Provider” (QMP) in order to certify patients for medical marijuana.
For these reasons, it can sometimes be difficult for patients to find a doctor who will certify them. We have two clinics located conveniently throughout the state to make the search quick and easy for patients. All of our doctors are registered with the state and can legally certify you for the program. If you think that you may have one of the state-approved qualifying medical conditions and have at least one form of proof, you will most likely qualify. Our doctor can evaluate you, review any medical documentation you are able to provide and certify you for the program. Once certified, you will be able to apply with the state for your card so that you can begin purchasing at Utah dispensaries.
Register with the Utah Department of Health
The next step after being certified by a doctor is to apply online with the Utah Department of Health Electronic Verification System, or EVS. In order to apply, you will need to be registered with the state for a Utah ID first. You can then log in and start your new patient application that upon completion, will be sent to your qualifying doctor to enter your certification. The application requires a valid Utah driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Once your certification is on file, you can log back in, pay the application fee and submit for final approval to the state. If you’re having trouble submitting your application to the state or any part of the registration process, we recommend contacting the state directly for support at 801-538-6504.

Can my employer still administer a drug screening for marijuana if I am a legal medical patient in Utah?
Yes. With Utah being an at-will state and there not currently being any legislation in place that protects medical marijuana patients in the workplace, medical cardholders can still be administered drug screenings and receive disciplinary action regarding the results of drug screenings. For this reason, we recommend making sure you are fully aware of your employer’s policy regarding drug screenings and medical marijuana before moving forward with the process.

As a legal medical marijuana patient, you are protected. Patients do not have to disclose that they possess medical marijuana and do not have to consent to a search. However, if a search is conducted and medical marijuana is found, the patient should immediately present their patient ID card or direct law enforcement to the state patient registry to show that they are a legal patient.
Do Utah dispensaries recognize other state medical marijuana ID cards?
No. You must be certified in Utah by a licensed medical marijuana doctor to legally access and purchase from dispensaries in the state.
Can I use my Utah medical marijuana card in another state?
Yes, there are multiple states currently accepting Utah medical cards. The laws for using out-of-state medical cards vary from state to state, so the best way to find out is by contacting a dispensary in the state you’re interested in visiting to find out for sure.
What is the renewal process?
