Yes. Once you book your appointment, we’ll send you a secure link for your video call when the consultation time approaches. You’ll meet with your physician to discuss how medical cannabis could benefit your health–this generally takes 10-15 minutes. After your doctor approves, you’ll receive your certification via email. It’ll also be available from your Quick Med Cards dashboard.

Getting your certification is just step one of getting your Delaware medical marijuana card. Next, you’ll need to complete your application on the state’s Medical Marijuana Portal.

The Delaware Office of the Marijuana Commissioner has up to 45 days to approve or deny a complete application. After approval, the OMC must issue the registry identification card within 30 days. The physical card will be mailed after it is issued.

You can also access a mobile ID through your patient account on the Delaware Medical Marijuana Program portal.

Your medical card could be valid for 1, 2, or 3 years depending on the period you choose during your application.

If your Delaware medical marijuana card is lost, notify the Office of the Marijuana Commissioner. The replacement-card fee is $20.
