Benefits of Having a Medical Cannabis Card in Arizona
Even if you live in a recreational-use state, there are several advantages to becoming a medical marijuana patient.
Fewer Restrictions
Recreational cannabis is typically limited to patients over 21 years of age and comes with strict possession limits. As a medical marijuana patient, you face fewer restrictions and have more freedom to access your medication in greater quantities.
Greater Selection
A medical marijuana card affords you the privilege of shopping in both medicinal and adult-use dispensaries. Greater access means more products to choose from and more freedom to compare prices and find the best deals.
More Protection
Some recreational-use states still allow employers, landlords, and family courts to discriminate against cannabis users. A medical marijuana certification provides you with legal documentation demonstrating that your use is medically warranted. This can protect you against discriminatory or punitive actions in many states.
Better Prices
As a medical marijuana patient, you won’t be subject to the same sales or excise taxes required of recreational buyers. You may be able to save 10% or more on every purchase.

Find a Registered Medical Marijuana Doctor In Arizona
The first step in getting your AZ medical marijuana card is to be evaluated and certified by a state-licensed medical cannabis doctor.
It can sometimes be difficult for patients to find a doctor who will certify them. We currently offer online telemedicine visits that allow you to be seen by a medical cannabis doctor from the comfort and security of home, making the search for a physician easy for you.
If you believe that you have one of the qualifying medical conditions and have at least one type of proof, then you will most likely qualify. Our doctor can evaluate you, review any medical documentation you are able to provide, and issue your certification so that you can apply for your card.
Register with the Arizona Department of Health
The next step after being certified by a doctor is to apply online with the Arizona Department of Health. In order to apply, patients will need to have:
· A signed physician written certification form.
· A state-issued identification card (such as a driver’s license).
· The patient attestation form.
· A passport-style photo.
· The application fee of $150.
Our doctor will issue your written certification form on the same day. You will then have 90 days to submit your application to the state online along with the required documentation and $150 application fee. If your application is accepted, you will then receive your physical card in the mail within about 10 business days. Your card is valid for two (2) years from the date it was issued, and you should renew your card at least 30 days prior to the expiration date. If you’re having trouble, the state has provided instructions and a checklist for the application process or you may reach them for application assistance at (602) 542-1025.

Will my insurance company cover the certification process, consultation, or medical marijuana application in Arizona?
No. Insurance companies do not cover any costs associated with medical marijuana due to conflicts with federal law.
Where can I get medical marijuana once I am certified for medical marijuana in Arizona?
Legal patients can obtain medical marijuana products from licensed dispensaries located throughout the state. Patients will also be able to use their card in other medical states that offer reciprocity.
How much medical marijuana can a qualifying patient possess at one time?
As a medical cardholder, you may purchase and possess up to 2.5 ounces of medical marijuana every two weeks. Recreational customers will be limited to just 1 ounce every two weeks.
What forms of marijuana will be available to purchase in Arizona?

Yes. Adults 21 or older may cultivate up to six (6) plants in their home.
Will anyone be able to find out that I am an Arizona medical marijuana patient?
No, as a medical patient you are protected by HIPAA. Green Health Docs makes the privacy and security of our patients’ confidential information a top priority. No one will be able to find out your status as a medical marijuana patient unless you openly tell them or if you are administered a drug test for marijuana.
Can my employer still administer a drug screening for marijuana if I am a legal medical patient in Arizona?
Yes. With Arizona 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.
Can I Still Get an Arizona Medical Card If I’m on Probation or Parole?
Arizona does not have any restrictions regarding patients on probation or parole, however, you must get permission from your probation or parole officer first before pursuing a medical marijuana card.
What happens if I am stopped by law enforcement?
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 database to show that they are a legal patient.
Can I use my Arizona medical marijuana card in another state?
Yes, there are currently multiple states that accept Arizona medical marijuana cards. Because reciprocity laws differ from state to state and with each dispensary, we recommend contacting a dispensary in the state you’re interested in visiting to find out if they will accept your card.
What is the renewal process?
You are required to be re-certified by a doctor once every two (2) years; the cost to renew is $200. You will also need to renew your card with the state every two (2) years for $150.
Can I renew with Green Health Docs if I was seen by a different doctor last year?
Yes! You do not have to be seen by the same doctor each year. If you were certified by another medical marijuana doctor last year and would like to switch to Green Health Docs, we will be happy to take care of you!
