How to Get Approved for Medical Use

 

To get approved for Medical Use, you must follow a specific process. This includes

qualifying for Medical Use, getting certification from your physician, providing documentation,

and registering with the State of Massachusetts and the dispensary of your choice.

Here’s an overview of the steps you need to take to get approved for Medical Use:

​

1. Make sure you qualify

To qualify for Medical Use in Massachusetts, you must be:

• 18 or older

• A Massachusetts resident

• Living with a debilitating condition (some are listed above)

 

2. Get certified by a Medical Use doctor

Once you’ve determined eligibility with a qualified doctor, you’ll need certification from a licensed Medical Use doctor in good standing with the State of Massachusetts. Once you get the certification, you’ll get a PIN number, which allows you to apply with the Medical Use of Marijuana Online system.

Documentation & registration:

For approval, you’ll need to provide the following materials to the State of Massachusetts:

• Government-issued photo ID

• Proof of Massachusetts residency

• $50 dollars for a fee

• A current photo of yourself

• The PIN number received during certification

Once the state has the documents they need and the transaction has been approved, you’ll be able to register with the State of Massachusetts.
