New York Medical Marijuana
Card Online

If you're a New York resident and believe that you have one of the state-approved medical conditions with at least one form of proof, then you will most likely qualify. You will first need to be evaluated by a licensed medical marijuana doctor. Once approved, you will receive your written certification that you can use to apply with the state as a patient to get your card. If you have any questions, give our local support center a call or text at 240-356-1000 and we will be happy to assist you.

Schedule now or give us a call at 240-356-1000; our friendly support team is available 7 days per week to set up a date and time for you to get evaluated by a medical marijuana doctor in New York and to answer any questions you may have.

You will need a valid photo ID and if possible, at least one form of proof of your medical condition such as medical records, pill bottles, office visit summaries, or a letter from your doctor.

If you don't have medical documentation, you can still get certified! Call or text us at 240-356-1000 so that we can schedule you with a doctor that can diagnose and then a doctor that can certify you. We do not charge extra for the diagnosis.

Once your telemedicine appointment is booked, you'll receive a confirmation email shortly after. This email will have the link to your intake form which is where you will fill out your medical information as well as upload your ID and any medical documentation you are able to provide.

However, if you do not get approved by our doctor you will receive a FULL refund!
