How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Everett

All patients must first get a medical marijuana authorization form from their physician. They must then bring their completed form to a medically endorsed store and schedule an appointment with a certified consultant to.

The consultant will review the form for completeness and compare information to your state identification, then take a photo of your face (and designated provider, if any) and enter your photo and information into the Medical Marijuana Authorization Database.

Medical marijuana cards have the same expiration date as your medical marijuana authorization form. To renew, patients must first renew their authorization form with their physician, then visit an endorsed retail store to get a new card.
