What To Expect After Your Initial Evaluation

After being recommended medical marijuana by one our knowledgeable Las Vegas Marijuana Doctors, you will begin the process of enrolling in the Nevada Marijuana Card Registry Program. To begin, we will print your registry packet in the office at the time of your visit. The doctor will sign off on the “physicians statement” after being recommended. The last two pages on the packet will need to be notarized. Notary fees are $5 per page. The next step is to submit the packet to the state of Nevada for processing with the state imposed fees totaling $100. Processing takes up to 4 weeks. Once approved, you will receive an approval letter good for 60 days. This state approval letter can be used at the dispensary immediately. You will take this to the DMV to take your photo for your state issued Nevada Medical Marijuana Card.

90 Day Verifiable Physician’s Statement

Our Las Vegas Marijuana Doctors provide all qualified patients with a 90 day verifiable physician’s statement. This statement is for your records and can not be used to obtain your medication at the Las Vegas dispensaries. Only patients that have enrolled in the Nevada Marijuana Card Registry Program will be accepted at the licensed Las Vegas marijuana dispensaries. The verifiable physician’s statement is a great way to show that you have been evaluated and recommended medical marijuana for your condition. It also provides patients a way to show proof that they are in the process of becoming legal. Remember, you are not legal until you are successfully enrolled in the Nevada Marijuana Card Registry Program.

Temporary Marijuana Cards

Currently temporary marijuana cards do not exist. Only the State of Nevada can issue patients an approval letter good for 60 days. The approval letter issued by the state will be accepted by Las Vegas Dispensaries and you will be able to obtain your medication once you receive the approval letter from the state while you are waiting for your state issued Nevada Medical Marijuana Card. You will receive your Nevada State issued Medical Marijuana Card once you take your photo at the dmv. You have 60 days to complete this.

Obtaining Your Medical Marijuana

In certain states such as California, patients only need a physician’s statement to obtain their medical marijuana. Each state has different laws. Some states allow patients to “donate” medical marijuana to each other. In Nevada this is 100% illegal. Patients must purchase their medical marijuana at state approved and licensed Las Vegas Marijuana dispensaries. By using illegal delivery services, patients not only risk prosecution but the potentially receiving unsafe product. Unlicensed delivery services put patients at risk because there is no standard or regulations as to how they operate. Licensed Las Vegas Marijuana Dispensaries provide safe access to medical marijuana. These facilities meet rigorous testing and requirements imposed by the state.
