Each state has different medical marijuana card application requirements. In some states, it can take several weeks to even a whole year to obtain a medical marijuana card. When available, applying for a marijuana card online can be much faster and more efficient. Some states will have an application fee; some will have a monthly fee.   Dependent on where medical marijuana patients live, they may be able to use online providers to get a medical MJ card online. Depending on laws, regulations, and resources, the process may be more straightforward in some states than others. This goes for both online and in-person aspects of the application. You can find out if your condition is approved and your state offers an online application process on their MMJ website or at Leafy DOC.
