Provides information on how to register and then receive medical cannabis in the state of Minnesota. In general, individuals need to work with a health care practitioner to become registered. Information about the process, including qualifying conditions, can be found online.
  • Step 1: The patient visits his/her health care practitioner.
  • Step 2: The patient's health care practitioner enrolls in the Medical Cannabis Registry and certifies that the patient has a qualifying medical condition.
  • Step 3: The patient gets an email with a link to the enrollment application. If the patient has a caregiver, the caregiver will need to complete an application and pass a background check.
  • Step 4: The patient (and caregiver, if applicable) will be notified by the Office of Medical Cannabis once the application is approved.
  • Step 5: The patient or caregiver will have to visit one of eight Cannabis Patient Center locations for distribution. The website contains a listing of dispensaries throughout Minnesota.
