No. The law does not obligate marijuana doctors in AZ to approve patients for medical marijuana. Still, our MMJ doctors will most likely certify you for your med card if you suffer from any qualifying condition.

After getting certified by a physician, you must create an account on the ADHS Individual Licensing Portal and submit your AZ medical card application. After ADHS approves your complete application, your electronic medical marijuana card will be available in your Individual Licensing Portal account within 10 working days.

While ADHS rules allow up to 15 working days for processing, most patients receive their cards sooner.

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) no longer provides physical medical marijuana cards to patients. Instead, you will receive an electronic or digital medical marijuana card within 10 working days after your complete application is approved. You can access your card through your Individual Licensing Portal account, print a copy, or use it on your mobile device.

Your Arizona medical marijuana card will be valid for 2years from the date of issue. Does your AZ med card expire soon? Remember, you should renew your Arizona medical marijuana card at least 30 days before it expires.

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) no longer provides physical medical marijuana cards to patients. Instead, you will receive an electronic or digital medical marijuana card.

If you deleted your digital card or lost a printed copy, you can download and print your existing electronic card again through the ADHS Individual Licensing Portal.

If you need ADHS to issue a replacement card and a new registry identification number, you must notify ADHS and submit a replacement request. The state replacement fee is $10. After receiving the request and payment, ADHS must issue the replacement card within five days.

The doctor consultation costs $149, and our financing option lets you book an appointment for as little as $47. Additionally, you must pay a $150 fee for your medical card to the Arizona Medical Marijuana Registry. However, patients participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) only pay $75 for their med cards.
