See your medical doctor, nurse practitioner, or optometrist and get certified. First, schedule an appointment with your doctor. (Note: Any healthcare provider must be certified by the State of Mississippi to prescribe medical marijuana.) If your provider is not authorized, you will need to find one that is.

The Department of Health will issue the patient a card. Once you have gotten a prescription from your doctor, go to the MDOR website and create a patient portal for yourself. Then, submit your Medical Marijuana prescription to the state, and submit your application to participate in the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program. You should receive your ID card within 60 days of your provider completing his certification from the state. (Note: Certification is not a prescription.)

You will receive an electronic identification card for a specific period or a maximum of 1 year.

Finally, you can now select a licensed dispensary to purchase medical marijuana.

Medical doctors, optometrists, and nurse practitioners have taken the additional credits to issue medical marijuana certifications. You can find a list of all certified medical practitioners, doctors, and nurse practitioners online at WebMD.

The fee for a patient card will be $25. (Note: All fees for patients and caregivers are outlined in Section 21 of SB2095.)
