How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Arizona
In Arizona, medical marijuana is permitted by law within the framework set out by the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA), through a program regulated by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) that manages all aspects of patient registration, including application processing and compliance oversight.
Once registered as an approved patient, the patient receives a registry identification card, which authorizes them to legally buy and possess medical marijuana according to the laws of the state of Arizona. Official program details and application instructions are available through ADHS at https://www.azdhs.gov/licensing/medical-marijuana/index.php and the patient portal at https://individual-licensing.azdhs.gov.
