How To Get A Nevada Medical Marijuana Card

What To Expect After Your Nevada Medical Marijuana Card 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 “physician’s statement” for either 1 or 2 years after being recommended. The next step is to submit the packet to the state of Nevada for processing with the appropriate state fee of either $50 for a 1-year card or $100 for a 2-year card. Processing typically takes 24-72 hours but can vary based on the volume of applicants. Once approved, you will receive an approval letter good for 60 days. This state approval letter can be used at the dispensary immediately.

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 Nevada Medical Marijuana Approval Letter

Once approved, 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 in the mail to your home address.

Purchasing Medical Marijuana In Las Vegas, Nevada

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.
