How to Get an Minnesota Medical Marijuana Card Online

Who May Apply in Minnesota?

Minnesota's Medical Cannabis Program is for Minnesota residents whose qualifying condition is certified by a participating Minnesota-licensed health care practitioner. After certification, patients complete an enrollment application with the state. Certification does not guarantee enrollment if the application requirements are not met.

Application Steps

Your medical evaluation and state application are separate. Follow these steps:

• Meet with a Minnesota-licensed health care practitioner who participates in the Medical Cannabis Program. Bring identification and records that document your condition.
• If the practitioner certifies your condition, they submit the certification to the state and you receive an enrollment email.
• Complete the state enrollment application, including identity and residency information. Minnesota no longer charges an annual enrollment fee.
• After enrollment, visit a licensed Cannabis Patient Center, where a pharmacist reviews your treatment before products are dispensed.

Prepare for Your Physician Visit

Have identification, a list of current medicines, relevant diagnosis notes and treatment history ready. The physician may request additional records. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment based on a guide.

What Happens After the Evaluation?

Practitioner certification, the state enrollment application and the first Cannabis Patient Center visit are separate steps. Allow time for the state to process enrollment; a completed evaluation is not a promise of same-day access.

Certification or a recommendation is issued only if clinically appropriate. The state makes any separate registration or licensing decision.

Plan for Costs and Renewal

Our Minnesota physician evaluation is $124. State charges, if any, are paid separately.

Minnesota patients re-enroll annually with a new certification from a participating practitioner. There is no annual state enrollment fee.
