How do I self-certify for medical marijuana in D.C.?
1
Verify your eligibility
Confirm that you are 21 years or older and either a D.C. resident or eligible for temporary patient registration as a non-resident.
D.C. residents need proof of residency such as a driver's license.
2
Complete your application
Fill out the medical marijuana self-certification application online through the D.C. Department of Health portal, providing your personal information and self-attestation of medical use.
Unlike other states, D.C. does not require a doctor's recommendation or medical records. You simply need to self-certify that you will use cannabis from licensed dispensaries for medical purposes.
3
Receive your medical marijuana card
After processing and approval, you'll immediately receive a temporary card to start purchasing, with your permanent card arriving in 7-10 business days.
You can begin purchasing from licensed dispensaries right away with your temporary card. Your permanent card will be mailed within 7-10 business days and will be valid for one year with renewal options. With your card, you can purchase up to 4 ounces of dried cannabis per month from licensed medical dispensaries, with access to a wider variety of products than the recreational market.
