| Arizona Medical Marijuana Card |
A Medical Marijuana Card, for the purposes of this blog, refers to any form of license that is issued by a Medical Marijuana State which requires a Medical Marijuana patient to register themselves as such.
Most, but not all, Medical Marijuana State's require that a patient who has been evaluated by a licensed Medical Marijuana Doctor and found to be a candidate for Medical Marijuana treatment, register with the state. In these states you are normally issued a temporary license by your doctor until your permanent license is received from the state.
Although some do not, most state's charge a fee for registering for a Medical Marijuana Card and the amounts vary widely from state to state. Fees currently range from $10.00 up to $200.00 and over. You should contact your State or local Medical Marijuana Doctor to inquire as to the exact payment required to obtain your license.
Some states have lower fees for patients who qualify for various government assistance programs. Be sure to ask if you are eligible for a reduced rate.

You will be required to produce this card when purchasing Medical Marijuana in any form, or when questioned by law enforcement officers. Some Medical Marijuana States give Medical Marijuana Patients some protection from employment discrimination based on your use of your legal prescription. In those states you may also need to show your Medical Marijuana Card to employers or prospective employers to verify your legal status.
