How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Ohio

Book An Appointment

Schedule your appointment with DocMJ on a day and time that is convenient for you. This is a no-risk appointment, we provide a 100% money-back guarantee if you do not qualify.

Meet With a Doctor

The State of Ohio requires that all patients visit a doctor in person to complete the health evaluation. We have thirty offices located across Ohio. A friendly DocMJ doctor will consult with you and talk about your symptoms, medications, and wellness goals. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how mmj can improve your life.

Get Approved

When approved, you will receive a recommendation for mmj. The physician will upload the recommendation to the Ohio Department of Health, OMMU. Recommendations are entered into the registry on the same day. In some cases, patients may be able to purchase mmj the same day following their appointment. Your medical card will arrive by mail approximately 10-15 days after you have been certified by the doctor and apply to the State.

Compassionate Marijuana Doctors Serving Ohio

Getting Started


DocMJ makes getting a recommendation for medical marijuana from a compassionate and qualified physician easy and affordable. All DocMJ physicians, in addition to being licensed doctors, have an active Certificate to Recommend (CTR) from the State Medical Board of Ohio and are authorized to permit qualified patients to receive medical marijuana from an approved dispensary.

Making an appointment is easy and can be done conveniently with telemedicine. Through the DocMJ website, patients make an appointment at a time that fits their schedule. Based on a private meeting with the medical marijuana certified physician, patients receive their recommendation for medical marijuana, if they qualify. Patients will be entered into the registry and, in some cases, can purchase medical marijuana the same day.
