Get Your Ohio
Medical Marijuana Card

Visit a certified physician on TeleLeafRX.com who can confirm that you have a qualifying condition for medical marijuana. The physician will create your profile in the Patient & Caregiver Registry.

Confirm and complete your registration for the program through the Patient & Caregiver Registry (see medical marijuana patient registration guide).

A patient must notify a certified physician that they would like you to serve as their caregiver. The physician will then create your profile in the Patient & Caregiver Registry. If the patient is a minor or has a court-appointed legal guardian, they must have a caregiver.

Confirm and complete your registration for the program through the Patient & Caregiver Registry (see “Completing Caregiver Registration” video on the patient and caregiver page). NOTE: Caregiver registration will be activated after approval by the Board of Pharmacy.

Caregivers may also temporarily apply for registration directly through the Board of Pharmacy using the process outlined here.

Follow the instructions found in the Quick Reference Guide – Registering With Indigent Or Veteran Status.

PLEASE NOTE: If a patient does not qualify for veteran or indigent status, their caregiver will not receive a registration fee reduction, even if the caregiver qualifies for special status.

Individuals seeking to qualify for a reduced registration fee due to a special status should not submit payment for their registration fee until their status, or the status of the patient they are associated with, is approved by the Board of Pharmacy.

The registration fee will be reduced once the Board receives necessary documentation and approves the special status. The Board will not issue any refunds for registration fees paid before special status approval.
