Patient ID card Requirements are as follows: 
  • Massachusetts medical marijuana patients must be 18 years of age or older to register for the Department of Health’s medical marijuana program
  • Only those who can prove Massachusetts residency can apply for medical marijuana treatment via Massachusetts’s medical marijuana program (valid driver’s license, Government ID, utility bill)
  • A Massachusetts resident must also have medical history showing a diagnosis that qualifies a licensed physician or nurse practitioner to recommend them as a patient that can legally obtain medical cannabis.
  • A registered patient must submit a written Certification Form with your MMJ application, which is where Leafy DOC can help. We can assist with booking your appointment for a doctor’s visit after submitting your online application and then provide the Physician Certification so that you can apply for your Massachusetts medical marijuana license.
  • Once you have the Massachusetts medical cannabis card, a patient may begin visiting medical marijuana dispensaries.

Caregiver requirements include providing current identification that proves Massachusetts residency. You can use two forms of identification: 

  • A valid driver’s license
  • State ID card
  • U.S. passport or Military ID 
  • Proof of residency

A personal caregiver has to be at least 21 years of age and a Massachusetts resident. A caregiver must renew their medical cannabis card annually to remain valid. Once the state approves, the caregiver will be given a registration number allowing them to purchase cannabis on their patient’s behalf.
