I recently went through the process of getting my medical cannabis card in Utah! I wanted to write what my experience was and what steps I took to receive my card as I don't see much information online other than what's displayed on Utah's Medical Cannabis website. And although the process seems unattainable or complicated, it truly isn't. My process took less than a week to do from getting an appointment scheduled to receiving my card.
Being a longtime resident of Utah, I always understood that things work a little differently around here. For example, our peculiar liquor laws that just a few years back allowed us to purchase 5% beer instead of 4% at retail stores and also lowering DUI limits to be some of the strictest in the nation. So, when Prop 2 came about, I knew that it wouldn't be that easy for marijuana to be legalized and sure enough it did pass, but not the one that was approved by voters, but instead a more tightly controlled came about. You can read more prop 2 here.
As of June 2022, the following steps are required to get a Medical Cannabis card:
- Must be a Utah Resident.
- Must have at least one qualifying condition (Under What are the qualifying conditions?)
- Submit an application online.
- Meet in-person with a qualified medical provider.
- The medical provider has certified your eligibility for a medical cannabis card online; and
- Pay a $15 application fee online.
