Ohio State Process

Congratulations on getting approved for your medical certification. Here's a guide to what you need to do next.

If you're an existing medical card holder, click here for renewal instructions.

Before you start, have these supporting documents ready:

  • An email from the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (see step 1)
  • Credit or Debit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover)

Getting Your Ohio Medical Marijuana Card

  1. Once your Leafwell physician has entered your details into the registry, you’ll receive an email from no-reply-pmpaware@globalnotifications.com with the subject line “ACTION NEEDED: Ohio MMCP Registry - Account Registration and Payment Submission.” 
    1. Click the link and follow the instructions to create your Registry password - note, you can only click the link once! If you attempt to click it more than once, you will be given an error message. If you need your email sent again, please send your name and date of birth to MMCPRegistry@com.ohio.gov so your email can be re-sent, or you can contact us at support@leafwell.com for assistance.
  2. Create your registry password and choose your timezone
  3. Review the information provided by your Leafwell Physician 
    1. Contact us at support@leafwell.com if any information is incorrect
  4. Click Activate Card and submit your registration fee
  5. Download and print your card
    1. Click the ‘Download’ button and save your card to your computer or cell phone

    2. You can either print out this document in hard copy or have it visible on your cell phone to show the medical marijuana dispensary

  6. Purchase your medical marijuana products

    1. You will need to show your medical cannabis card (in digital or printed format) and a valid form of photo identification every time you purchase medical marijuana from an Ohio dispensary.

You must complete the state side of your registration and make payment within (90) days of the date of your recommendation!

If you fail to do so, your recommendation will be voided, and you will need to obtain a new recommendation from your physician prior to registration.

Please Note: We have been made aware of a possible state-side delay involving minor patients that require a caregiver. The state is working to resolve the issue at hand. Please feel free to contact support at 800-660-9085 with questions.
