Steps to Obtain a Medical Card in Massachusetts

Book an Appointment

Schedule an appointment with KIF to meet with a licensed medical marijuana doctor in Massachusetts at a time that works best for you. When booking, be prepared to provide your medical history and the necessary documentation.
Step 2

Meet with a Certified MMJ Doctor

During your consultation with a medical marijuana doctor in Massachusetts, the physician will review your health condition to determine whether you qualify for a Medical Marijuana Card (MJC). The appointment typically lasts about 10–15 minutes.

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask any questions about treatment, eligibility, or the process itself. If approved, the doctor will issue a letter of recommendation. With this recommendation, you can complete the application through the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Program’s secure online registration system to obtain your MJC card.

Step 3

Claim Your Card

If your application is approved, your medical marijuana card will be mailed to you within 2–3 weeks. In the meantime, you’ll receive a temporary card that allows you to purchase medical marijuana from any state-registered dispensary.

In Massachusetts, all patients who qualify for the program must be recertified each year by a licensed physician. When your certification is nearing expiration, KIF will reach out to remind you and assist with scheduling your renewal appointment.

Understanding Medical Marijuana in Massachusetts

In 2013, Massachusetts voters approved a referendum with 63% support, paving the way for the state’s medical marijuana program. While medical cannabis retail sales began in 2016, recreational marijuana sales launched just two years later in 2018, reflecting a faster rollout for recreational use.

By May 2020, MassLive reported that the state had collected $122 million in tax revenue from marijuana sales, highlighting strong demand from both patients and non-patients alike.

The Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) has simplified the process of obtaining medical cannabis cards. In August 2020, MassLive noted that the CCC proposed allowing caregivers to assist up to 10 patients at a time.

Work is also underway to expand recreational delivery. Representatives from the CCC and state officials are developing a third phase of rulemaking to address this. According to an August report from MassLive, “The delivery licensing structure for businesses was approved for availability in the fall, and applications were made available in May, but the commission has yet to grant licenses to businesses that can only deliver food.

With both medical and recreational marijuana now legal, Massachusetts is expected to continue refining policies and procedures, potentially generating an additional $122 million in cannabis tax revenue. This progress represents promising news for both patients and non-patients.
