Step1:
Scan your ID. Make sure the photograph has a minimum resolution of 400 pixels wide by 360 pixels long, is in .jpg format, and is less than 2MB. All other documents should also be in .jpg or PDF format and less than 2MB.

Step 2:
Visit the Medical Use of Marijuana Online System at https://patient.massciportal.com. Click “Create an Account,” then enter your name and contact info at “User Information.” Agree to the Terms and Conditions, then pass the CAPTCHA and click “Create an Account.” Next, you should receive an email asking you to confirm your email address.

If everything was uploaded correctly, you will be brought to the “Review and Submit Application Page”. Review all the information and make any changes by clicking the correct field on the right side of the screen or by clicking “Back.” If everything looks correct, click “Submit”

Step 10:
You will then be brought to a home screen and your application will be reviewed by the Medical Use of Marijuana Program. You will be notified by email regarding the status. If approved, you will receive a temporary paper program ID, which you can print and use as soon as you receive confirmation. A plastic ID will be shipped to you sometime within the next 42 days, which is when the paper ID expires.
