CT Medical Marijuana Renewal Certifications appointments are $100 each.

Governor Daniel Molloy approved a Senate measure to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes in Connecticut in June 2012. In addition to 28 other States and Washington, DC, medical marijuana is now widely used in Connecticut.

According to the legislation, a patient who is approved to use medicinal marijuana cannot be prosecuted, punished in any way, or denied any rights or privileges if they want to use cannabis for health reasons.

Although it is allowed to consume medicinal marijuana, there are certain restrictions. Patients in Connecticut are only permitted a maximum of 2.5 ounces each month, unless a doctor orders otherwise. Patients must have a medical marijuana card in order to make purchases from a dispensary.

Many patients who are suffering from chronic, persistent, or crippling symptoms of numerous medical diseases find relief from medicinal cannabis, which enables them to live healthier lives. Connecticut became the 17th state to permit its citizens to use medicinal marijuana. Despite having a functioning program for medical marijuana patients and restrictions against its usage for recreational purposes, many locals are unsure of how to become patients.

You should contact EZMEDCARD and make an appointment during the month your card expires. You can book your renewal appointment up to 60 days before your card expires.

You may need to send or bring us your updated medical records (last 6-12 months) prior to the appointment.

Our providers review your updated medical records to make sure your medical condition hasn’t changed and that you are still being treated by an outside physician. You are required by law to maintain an outside physician because our physicians don’t treat or diagnose your medical condition – they are responsible for signing the recommendation paperwork for the state.

At the medical marijuana license renewal appointment, our physician will certify you in the state system and you will be prompted to upload your proof of residency and proof of identification.

Your initial registration is good for (1) year, at which time you will need to schedule a renewal appointment with EZMEDCARD.

Once you have submitted your application and signed practitioner paperwork to the CT Department of Consumer Protections, it will go through a review process which can take anywhere between 1-7 days. If you have been accepted into the Connecticut MMJ Program, you receive your card via email.

Once certified, you must select a Registered Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facility within the state to acquire your medical marijuana. You can now change your dispensary electronically on biznet. Please see more instructions here:
