Get Your Arizona Medical Marijuana Card With My MMJ Doctor

A medical marijuana card refers to a document issued by licensed medical doctors or authorized to provide written recommendations for the medicinal use of marijuana.
Obtaining a written recommendation states that you are federally secure from all the associated legal issues you may get caught into for acquiring, utilizing, or cultivating marijuana.

The Arizona state laws make it pretty clear with the statement that

“If the designated caregiver’s ID Card states that the caregiver is authorized to grow marijuana, 12 marijuana plants in a locked and enclosed facility except that the plants are not required to be in a locked or enclosed facility if they are being transported as the caregiver is also moving.”

However, as of July 2020, the state drafted new cultivation leases to encourage the distribution and growth of cannabis.

A patient can only grow under two circumstances:

1. Qualified patients can cultivate up to 12 plants on their own if they do not have any licensed dispensary nearby, specifically within 25 miles of their homes.
2. The marijuana plants must be cultivated in an enclosed area or closed building that is defined by the laws.

And by law, a qualified patient or designated caregiver also needs ADHS to designate the patient as a medical cannabis grower.

As of the Nov 2020s updated laws, the state has permitted the cultivation of up to 6 marijuana plants at the individual’s primary residence and 12 marijuana plants at residents where two or more individuals at least 21 years or older are residing at a time.

The qualifying conditions for obtaining a medical cannabis card in Arizona include:

• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Cachexia
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
• Cancer
• Glaucoma
• Crohn’s Disease
• HIV/ AIDS
• Hepatitis C
• Severe pains
• Seizures
• Muscle Spasms
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders

• A valid residential proof
• The patient must be at least 18 years or older
• A qualifying medical condition

• 21 years or older
• An Arizona state resident only
• Must provide the Arizona residence proof
• Have never been convicted of a felony.

And before becoming a caregiver, the caregiver’s qualified patient must already be registered as licensed by ADHS.

Essential To Note!

• A caregiver’s card must be renewed every year!
• A caregiver can assist up to 5 patients at a time under a single license.

• An Arizona Medical Cannabis Card is good for two years. To continue taking benefits, you must renew the same on time.
• After receiving the applications, the state’s Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS) will revert to the submitted applications within ten days of receiving completed applications.
