Follow These Steps to Get an Arizona Medical Marijuana Card:

– Get a written certification from a physician (medical doctor, osteopath, naturopath, or homeopath licensed to practice in Arizona)
Step 2: Find a MMJ doctor
– Get a referral from your regular doctor for a medical marijuana evaluator
– Find a cannabis doctor online (Leafly.com, Weedmaps.com, and Medicalmarijuana.com have easy-to-use directories )
– Find a naturopathic, holistic, or wellness clinic (Doctors here are more likely to prescribe alternative, non-traditional treatment options)
– Keep at it (Visits to several different healthcare professionals might take place before finally finding one willing to evaluate you for a medical marijuana card )
