Getting Things Started
Before you start the process of getting a medical marijuana card in New York, make sure you meet all of the following requirements:
- A New York state legal resident
- Age & Residency Requirements: At least eighteen years of age. Alternatively, a minor with a designated caregiver who is at least 18 years old can be admitted.
- To qualify, you must be diagnosed with one of the following state-approved medical conditions.
- A healthcare practitioner who has received a certified diagnosis from the Illinois Department of Public Health’s list of disabling diseases.
- A legitimate relationship with a medical provider who is currently registered with the state of New York’s medicinal marijuana program
Step 1: Consult with a Licensed Practitioner
In New York State, the first step in applying for medical marijuana is to see a doctor who can certify that you meet the requirements for a qualifying illness. If they meet the state’s requirements, a doctor, a physician’s assistant, or a nurse practitioner can get a license to practice medicine in New York and sign up for the state’s medical marijuana program.
You can find a participating practitioner near you or a New York-licensed cannabis telemedicine provider if your current practitioner isn’t part of the state’s medical marijuana program or can’t help you with the application process in New York.
Step 2: Obtain your patient’s certification.
After you and your doctor have talked about your qualifying conditions, you and your doctor will fill out a patient certification and send it to the New York Department of Health for approval. Along with the certification, you will receive a printed and signed copy of it, which will allow you to finish your section of the online application process.
Step 3: Submit your medical marijuana application.
After your doctor sends in your patient certificate, you will need to make an account on NY.gov and fill out the rest of your application online.
The online application form will ask you to upload the practitioner certification form as well as evidence of domicile, which you must do. There are a number of ways to set up a permanent or temporary home in the state of New York, such as:
- The number from your New York State Driver’s License or New York State Non-Driver ID Card (if applicable).
- A photocopy of a government-issued identification card that includes your New York State address is required.
- A photograph of a utility bill with a New York State address demonstrates evidence of payment for a period of at least two months.
- A photocopy of a current mortgage or lease demonstrating domicile in the state of New York.
Patients must show a lease or utility bill as well as a hospital bill to prove they are temporarily living in New York while getting treatment for a qualifying medical condition.
Step 4: Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in New York
Once your application has been filed and accepted, you will be sent a digital medical marijuana card that you may print and use for up to 30 days after it has been granted. In 7–10 business days, you’ll get a hard copy of your permanent copy in the mail.
In New York, a person who needs medical cannabis can choose up to two caregivers. Each caregiver can buy and give the patient goods on their behalf. Caregivers will also need to sign up for and get their own medical marijuana identification cards.
