To obtain a medical cannabis card in MA, you must be evaluated by a licensed healthcare provider like Sharon Reif, NP-C. If you have a qualifying condition, you will receive a certification to register with the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.

Qualifying conditions in Massachusetts include cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis, as well as other conditions determined in writing by a healthcare provider, such as chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, and insomnia.

Do you offer online telehealth appointments for medical cards?
