There are three simple steps to seeing a Leafwell provider in Ohio to obtain your medical marijuana card:
1. Create a Leafwell account using a valid email address and choosing a password. You’ll then be asked to complete a brief questionnaire of personal and health information and to either take or upload a photograph of identification (Leafwell is required by law to verify your identity). You will need a smartphone, computer, or tablet with a reliable internet connection and a working camera to be seen by a Leafwell provider.
2. Next, you will be taken to the virtual waiting room where you’ll be connected Leafwell provider for a video chat (i.e., a virtual doctor’s visit). (You will receive a text message to your cell phone when the provider is ready to see you.) During the video chat, the provider will assess your health situation to determine if you qualify for a medical marijuana certification.
3. If the patient is approved, they will be emailed their Registry Card (Medical Marijuana Card) and will have to activate it via their email, which will contain a link to the registry. The user will need to then create their own password for the health portal. If you are approved for a medical marijuana card, you’ll be sent a copy of your certificate letter via email.

Leafwell does have physical locations. These can be kiosks that provide you access to a computer or tablet so you can speak to a qualified medical marijuana doctor online. On occasion, they are fully-functioning doctor’s clinics. However, as our partners in such locations have different opening hours – especially during these COVID-19 times – in-person meetings and services may not be available. The easiest, safest and simplest way to get certified for medical cannabis and undergo a medical marijuana evaluation is to speak to one of our physicians online. You can do so from anywhere in Ohio, and we are open 7 days a week, 7 am to 7 pm.
