Get Your Flagstaff, AZ Medical Marijuana Card From State-Licensed Doctors

Applying in Flagstaff requires valid ID, residency proof, physician certification, and the state fee. We provide the certification during your appointment, so gather your ID and residency documents beforehand.

• Driver’s license or state ID with your current address covers both ID and residency
• Outdated address on ID means using utility bill, bank statement, property deed, or lease from the last 90 days
• Physician certification from our doctor during your evaluation
• $150 state fee for two years, $75 with SNAP
• No medical records necessary since doctors evaluate your condition during the appointment
• Digital photo from your phone for the application
• Northern Arizona University students can use campus address with lease or utility bill in their name
• Parents or guardians of anyone under 18 register as caregivers with extra guardian paperwork
• Everything happens online from home

You must be a resident with a qualifying medical condition to get a card. Here’s what you need to know.

• Residency: You must be a resident with proof like a state ID, driver’s license, or utility bill showing your address
• Age: You must be 18 or older, though patients under 18 can qualify when a parent or guardian registers as their caregiver
• Qualifying Condition: You need a medical condition the state recognizes, including chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, glaucoma, or conditions causing severe nausea, seizures, or muscle spasms
• Chronic pain is the most frequent qualifier: If you’ve had pain for more than three months that hasn’t responded to conventional treatments, you likely meet the criteria
• Medical records help but aren’t always necessary: Our doctors can evaluate your current symptoms and medical history during your appointment to determine if you qualify for certification

A state-licensed doctor will evaluate your condition during your appointment and issue a certification if they determine medical marijuana is an appropriate treatment option for you.

Flagstaff dispensaries carry all the legal forms of medical marijuana the state permits. You can choose the form that works best for your needs and lifestyle.

• Oils: Use in vape cartridges or take by mouth for flexibility in how you consume them
• Capsules: Swallow like regular medication, which makes dosing simple and discreet
• Edibles: Gummies, baked goods, and candies that provide relief for several hours without smoking
• Topicals: Apply lotions, balms, and creams directly where it hurts for relief without any high
• Tinctures: Place liquid drops under your tongue for faster effects than edibles
• Liquids: Cannabis drinks and syrups you enjoy alone or mix with something else
• Dry flower: The plant you smoke or vape, and knowing the best way to smoke helps you get the most from your medicine

Maybe, but probably not. Most Flagstaff residents live within 25 miles of a dispensary, so home cultivation isn’t an option. However, if you happen to live in a rural area outside the city that’s more than 25 miles from the nearest dispensary, you’re in luck.

• Eligibility: You must live more than 25 miles from the nearest licensed dispensary to qualify for home cultivation
• Check your address carefully: The city has dispensaries, but some rural areas outside it might qualify for the 25-mile rule
• Authorization: If you qualify, request cultivation authorization on your medical card application at no extra fee
• Plant limits: Eligible patients can grow up to 12 plants at their residence for personal medical use
• Location: Plants must be in an enclosed, locked space like a secure room or greenhouse not visible to the public
• Patient Age: You must be 18 or older and meet the 25-mile rule to grow marijuana
• Personal use only: Marijuana you grow is for your medical use only. Selling or giving it away is illegal

Yes. Elevate Holistics partners with state-licensed Arizona medical marijuana doctors who are certified to assess patients and issue certifications. We assign you a provider based on appointment availability, and each doctor is:

• Registered with the state Department of Health Services Medical Marijuana Program
• Trained to evaluate qualifying conditions like chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, and inflammatory disorders
• Available for telehealth evaluations that typically take 15-20 minutes
• Authorized to approve your certification during your consultation if you qualify

If you have preferences for provider gender, language, or need accommodations, let us know before scheduling and we’ll work to match you when possible.

If you’re holding a medical marijuana card around Flagstaff, you’ve got a couple of solid local options where you can use it without any hassle. Both dispensaries in town accept MMJ cards and offer quality products along with knowledgeable staff who understand medical patients’ needs. Here’s where cardholders typically go and what makes each spot worth checking out.

Right on Historic Route 66 about a mile east of downtown, Noble Herb (522 E Route 66, Flagstaff, AZ 86001) sits in an easy-to-reach spot whether you’re coming from Northern Arizona University, downtown Flagstaff, or off Milton Road. This dispensary is locally owned and operated by brothers who’ve been in the industry since 2012, starting with the award-winning Greenhouse of Flagstaff before rebranding to Noble Herb. Medical patients appreciate the express pickup option for online orders, plus the budtenders take time to provide detailed guidance on products instead of just pointing you toward what’s on sale. They’re known for short wait times and a browsing-friendly layout where you can look at products freely before checking out, which beats the old-school counter service at some places. Noble Herb carries their own hand-crafted Pure Edibles and Everest Concentrates lines alongside a wide selection of flower, vapes, and topicals from other brands, all lab-tested for quality.

Over on South Plaza Way in the University Plaza across from Safeway, HMC by Ponderosa (1250 S Plaza Way, Suite A, Flagstaff, AZ 86001) is less than a mile from NAU and about 1.5 miles from Historic Downtown Flagstaff. This spot is the result of locally owned High Mountain Cannabis combining forces with Ponderosa Dispensary, bringing together over 10 years of serving the medical marijuana community with Ponderosa’s multi-location knowledge. Medical patients like the deli-style flower service where budtenders weigh out your flower right in front of you so you can see and smell what you’re getting before you buy it. They employ over 50 Flagstaff residents and stay committed to providing plant medicine with a focus on customer care that dates back to when they served only medical patients before adult-use became legal. The staff knows their products well and offers weekly specials, plus they carry popular brands like Canamo, Sonoran Roots, and Charlies alongside their own cultivated flower.

So whether you’re near downtown Flagstaff and Historic Route 66, close to Northern Arizona University, or anywhere around Milton Road and Interstate 40, you’ve got reliable dispensaries that’ll accept your medical marijuana card and give you quality service. Always call ahead to confirm their current hours and ask about any medical patient discounts they’re running, but these two spots should keep you covered around Flagstaff.
