Frequently Asked Questions
Medical Marijuana FAQs
How much is a new certification?
Only $149* for new certifications! Our fee includes the doctor fee, setting up an appointment with a certifying doctor, help making sure your PA MMJ card is mailed to your home in a timely manner (usually 7–14 days from your doctor visit), caregiver card setup so a friend or family member can help purchase, dose, and cook medical marijuana (the $50 admin fee is waived), evaluation and recommendations about cannabis strains, the Greener app with dispensary locations, sales, product reviews, recipes, and more, a guide to getting started, and a completed list of dispensaries. *Does not include the $50 state fee.
What’s the cost to renew?
For returning customers, we waive the admin fee, and you only pay the $125 doctor fee and $50 state fee.
Do I have to see a doctor in person?
Currently, all doctor appointments are done through video conferencing from the comfort and safety of your home. Appointments are quick and easy. On our scheduling page, you can choose a time to secure an appointment that day; however, your appointment will not be at that exact time. The doctor will contact you in a window of time between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
How long does it take?
We are here to streamline your process to make things as quick as possible. Normally, we can schedule your doctor’s appointment within a few days of you contacting us. It then takes about 7–14 days for the card to be mailed. Delivery time may vary.
What conditions qualify for a medical marijuana card?
There are 23 conditions currently approved for medical marijuana. You can check our qualifying condition section of the website for more information.
Do I need records?
The state requires that you qualify for one of the 23 conditions. We suggest you bring all documentation you have available to the doctor’s appointment, but the doctor makes the final call on what documentation is needed and will inform you if additional paperwork or records are required.
How long is my MMJ card good for?
Doctors can certify for up to a year, with the shortest being a month long. Through The Greener Institute, you’ll be certified for the full year with no additional appointments.
How long does the appointment take?
We suggest going to your appointment 10 minutes early to fill out any paperwork the doctor’s office requires, but normally the appointment can take between 10 and 15 minutes.
Where are you located?
We do all the administration work in our office in Bucks County; however, all appointments are currently done by video conferencing, so you can get certified from the comfort of your home.
Is there a limit to how much or what you can buy?
The state sets a limit of a 30-day supply for all card holders.
What types of delivery methods for marijuana are available?
Dispensaries have flower, oil cartridges, concentrates in many forms, RSO syringes, capsules, and creams, with new products being added to menus all the time.
Can a minor get a card?
Anyone under 18 can qualify, but they do not get their own card. They are required to have a PA caregiver, and the caregiver makes all purchases. The caregiver can be a family member, friend, or a caregiver assigned by the state or from a service. Learn more about caregivers in our caregiver guide.
