MEDICAL FAQ

It is best to have a conversation with a medical marijuana certifying professional to determine whether cannabis would be a good treatment for you. Since Medical Marijuana has become more widely used there are more certifying physicians and nurse practitioners available who have extensive experience with cannabis treatment.

If your Primary Care Physician is not able to certify, you can visit Massachusetts Cannabis Certifying Physicians and Nurse Practitioners to find a certifying physician or nurse practitioner who can recommend the medical use of marijuana for you. Once you have obtained a certification from a MD, then the patient registration process will begin. Visit our Become a Patient page for details on the process with state program links.

You can visit our Become a Patient page with resources directed to the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.
