If you do not currently have a medical cannabis card and you have a qualifying condition, here are the steps to completing an application.
STEP ONE
Schedule a visit with your medical provider
Schedule a visit with your medical provider to explore the potential of medical cannabis as a treatment option for your condition. It is crucial to have an open and detailed discussion with your healthcare professional about your medical history, symptoms, and any previous treatments you’ve undergone. During this consultation, share your concerns and curiosity about how medical cannabis might benefit your specific health condition.
Remember, only a licensed medical provider has the authority to initiate the application process for a medical cannabis card. If your provider assesses that medical cannabis could be beneficial for you, they will start the necessary documentation and guide you through the initial steps of the application process. This includes providing a formal recommendation or certification, which is an essential requirement in most jurisdictions to qualify for medical cannabis use.
Engage actively with your healthcare provider during this visit, asking questions and expressing any reservations you may have. This dialogue not only helps you make an informed decision but also ensures the application process begins on solid medical advice, tailored to your health needs.
STEP TWO
New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program
Sign up for the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program’s Online Patient Portal to begin managing your medical cannabis needs digitally. To initiate the registration process, navigate to the portal’s website and select the registration option. You will need to provide basic personal information, such as your name, address, and contact details, along with any required documentation that verifies your eligibility for the program.
Upon submitting your registration form, you will receive a confirmation email or notification indicating the successful creation of your account. With your account now active, you can access a wide range of services offered by the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program. These services include applying for or renewing your medical cannabis card, updating your personal information, and tracking the status of your application.
Registering with the Online Patient Portal simplifies the management of your medical cannabis needs, making it easier to maintain compliance with New Mexico’s medical cannabis program requirements and to ensure you have continuous access to the treatments prescribed by your healthcare provider.
STEP THREE
Finalize the Process
Once your doctor initiates your application, go ahead and finalize the process by adding your own necessary details. Access the application through the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program’s Online Patient Portal that was previously mentioned. Fill in all the remaining fields of the application with the required information.
After ensuring that all the information in the application is correct and complete, proceed to upload a copy of your New Mexico State ID or driver’s license. This step is important as it verifies your identity and residency within the state.
Take a moment to review your application to make sure that all sections are filled out accurately and that your uploaded identification document is clear and legible. Next, provide your electronic signature to certify that the information you’ve provided is true and to authorize the submission of the application.
Finally, confidently submit your completed application through the online portal. By doing so, you will have taken a significant step toward legally obtaining medical cannabis for your condition within the state of New Mexico.

What to Do If Your Doctor Doesn’t Prescribe Medical Cannabis
If your current physician is not authorized to sign medical cannabis applications, rest assured that a number of physicians who are registered with the Medical Cannabis Division are available for you to consult. You have the option to select from these registered physicians to proceed with your application for medical cannabis.
When you decide to consult with a new doctor for your medical cannabis needs, we strongly encourage you to inform your primary care physician about all the medications and treatments you are using, inclusive of cannabis. Maintaining open communication with your primary care physician ensures comprehensive care, as they are fully aware of your medical regimen and can provide informed advice on any potential interactions or considerations.
In the event that you’re without a medical provider who prescribes medical cannabis and you believe your condition is eligible, the New Mexico Department of Health serves as an essential resource. Please go to their website to obtain more information about qualifying conditions, the application process, and to find a suitable registered physician for your medical cannabis needs.
