    The Connecticut Medical Marijuana Use registry is a secure, electronic, and online database for the registration of ordering qualified MMJ patients. If you are a patient seeking to register with the Department of Consumer Protection Marijuana Program, you first must make an appointment with your physician. To qualify to use medical marijuana, a patient must be diagnosed by a Connecticut-licensed doctor with a qualifying debilitating medical condition outlined in law. Only your physician can initiate your application by certifying to the Department that you have medical condition which qualifies you for a medical marijuana registration certificate and that, in their opinion, the benefits of medicinal marijuana would more than likely outweigh the health risks of medical marijuana use. Please note many doctors offer a telemedicine option for appointments.

    Due to COVID-19, telemedicine is allowed in Connecticut for initial appointments and renewals.

    Connecticut Medical Marijuana Card - How to apply and get one!

    If your physician decides to certify you for a medical marijuana registration certificate, he will need to collect some information from you, including a valid email address and a primary telephone number, so the Department will be able to communicate with you. Once certified for use of medical marijuana by your MJ physician, you will need to submit additional information and go through Department’s registration process. Documents needed for the online application process include proof of identification, proof of residency, and a registration fee. Minors with qualifying conditions may also be able to legally use medical marijuana with a designated caregiver who must register with the Department as do designated caregivers for non-minors. Once a qualified MJ patient receives their marijuana license id card, they may begin purchasing medical marijuana through a licensed pharmacist who has applied and obtained a dispensary license from the Department of Consumer Protection.

    Find a licensed marijuana doctor nearby to get your recommendation for a medical marijuana card.
