How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in New York: Your Step-by-Step Process
Getting your New York medical marijuana card online has never been easier than with Elevate Holistics. Our three-step process is straightforward, quick, and 100% online — you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your couch.
Below, we’re walking you through the three steps to take in order to get your New York medical marijuana card online or in person.
Step One:
Meet With an MMJ Doctor (Like Us!)
The first step to getting your New York medical marijuana card is to find a doctor who can determine whether or not you meet the requirements for a medical marijuana prescription. Don’t know where to begin? We do!
Elevate Holistics has a team of certified MMJ doctors who can help you get your NY MMJ card over the phone or computer. Our doctors have been working with NY medical marijuana patients for years, and they offer the expertise you need to get your card effortlessly.
Once you book an appointment, you will have your telehealth appointment to see whether or not you qualify.
Step Two:
Get Approved and Register With the State
If the doctor determines that you are eligible, the next step to get your New York medical marijuana card is to go to my.ny.gov and create an account.
You can then go to the “Health Applications” section, where you will upload your certification and answer some questions about yourself. If you need a caregiver, you can designate up to 2 at any time during the process.
Step Three:
Get Your MMJ Card and Start Shopping!
Once you have been approved, the NY state government will issue you a temporary ID. Then, you’ll receive your official New York medical marijuana card in the mail and you can start shopping for MMJ at your local dispensaries.
New York Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions
Unlike most states, New York doesn’t have a list of qualifying conditions for MMJ.
Instead, you can get your NY MMJ card for any condition that is deemed “clinically appropriate” by your physician.
The Elevate
Holistics Promise
We are a team who believes in the medical benefits of cannabis; but, we’re also keenly aware that a large percentage of the population doesn’t know where to start on their cannabis journey. This is why we promise to treat every patient with respect, compassion, and love.
We’re all on our own journey and we promise to respect yours.
How Long Does It Take To Get a Card in New York?
After you’ve had your initial appointment and been approved by the state, you’re going to get your New York medical marijuana card in the mail about a week later. Many people find their card arrives within the 7-10 day window.
New York Medical Marijuana Doctors
Elevate Holistics is proud to have a team of qualified, expert marijuana doctors in New York who can help patients just like you get the support you need.
Our doctor’s appointments are always both 100% online and 100% HIPAA-compliant, keeping your safety and privacy our number one priority. These appointments tend to last less than 15 minutes, so there’s absolutely no disruption to your busy schedule.
During your appointment, you can ask your NY MMJ doctor any questions you may have about qualifying conditions, the process, or even New York medical cannabis as a whole.
And, don’t forget that Elevate Holistics has all the resources you need to get your canna-questions answered.
Can Minors Get Medical Cards in New York?
Yes, those who are under 18 years old can also get a New York medical marijuana card; however, they cannot do so on their own. They must have a caregiver (typical parent or legal guardian) register on their behalf, visit dispensaries, purchase products, and even administer the products themselves.
Right now, Elevate Holistics doesn’t offer minor appointments to New York residents.
