How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania: Your Step-by-Step Process
Getting a Pennsylvania medical marijuana card is the only way to access high-quality, legal cannabis products. And with Elevate Holistics, we can help make that happen in just three easy steps.
Below, we’ve quickly broken down the process of getting your own Pennsylvania medical marijuana card
online — 100% private, 100% hassle-free.
Here’s our three-step process on how to get medical marijuana in Pennsylvania.
Step One:
Register With the State
In PA, the first step to getting your PA MMJ card is registering with the state. You have to visit the DOH’s website and complete their online registration.
To do this, you’ll need a valid Pennsylvania ID.
After you complete the patient registration, you’ll get a patient ID number. You’ll need to save this number in order to log back in later. You’ll also need to create a username and password.
Step Two:
Meet With an MMJ Doctor (Like Us!)
The next step to getting a medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania is to see if you qualify. To do this, you’ll need to book an appointment with a licensed MMJ doctor in the state.
Don’t know any PA MMJ doctors? We do.
Here at Elevate Holistics, we have an incredible team of professional Pennsylvania medical marijuana doctors that work exclusively to help you get certified for MMJ. Our appointments are entirely online, and they don’t tend to last more than 15 minutes.
Step Three:
Get Approved And Start Shopping!
If you do qualify for Pennsylvania medical marijuana, your doctor will provide you with the certification you need in order to get your card. You’ll need to have your patient ID number for this.
After your doctor confirms your certification, you’ll get an email directing you to a page where you can purchase your medical marijuana card.

Can Minors Get Medical Cards in Pennsylvania?
Yes, those under 18 can get medical cards in Pennsylvania. However, they cannot do so on their own: they must have a caregiver.
Caregivers must be at least 21 years old and register with the PA Department of Health. For minors, caregivers tend to be a parent or guardian.
The caregiver of a minor will register with the state on behalf of the minor, be present during the appointment, purchase products, and even administer cannabis if needed.
Unfortunately, Elevate Holistics doesn’t currently offer minor appointments in Pennsylvania.
