2. Consult with a Registered Healthcare Provider

Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider registered with the MCP. They will assess your medical history and determine if medicinal cannabis is a suitable treatment. If approved, you’ll receive an Authorizing Healthcare Practitioner Statement containing a reference ID and registry ID.

3. Register with the NJ Medicinal Cannabis Program

With your reference and registry ID numbers:

  • Create an Account: Visit the patient portal to set up your profile.
  • Provide Required Documentation:
    • Recent Photograph: A full-face, front-facing photo taken within the last 60 days against a plain, white background.
    • Proof of Residency: A current NJ government-issued ID or two alternative proofs, such as utility bills or tax statements.
    • Proof of Government Assistance (if applicable): Documents like Medicaid or SSI benefit statements.
  • Select an Alternative Treatment Center (ATC): Choose a dispensary where you’ll obtain your medicinal cannabis.

4. Application Review and Approval

After submitting your application:

  • Processing Time: The MCP will review your application, which may take several weeks.
  • Notification: Upon approval, you’ll receive an email with your digital ID card.
  • Physical ID Card (Optional): You can request a physical card for a $10 fee.

5. Access Medicinal Cannabis

With your ID card:

  • Visit Your Chosen ATC: Present your ID to purchase medicinal cannabis products.
  • Consult ATC Staff: They can guide you on product selection and usage based on your medical needs.

Additional Considerations

  • Caregivers: If you’re unable to visit an ATC, designate a caregiver to purchase and assist with administering your medicinal cannabis.
  • Renewal: Patient ID cards are valid for two years. Renewal reminders are sent 60 days before expiration. Renew at any time after receiving the reminder.
