Medical Marijuana

The Medical Marijuana Program is a program of the State of California that was established following the passage of SB 420 that requires counties to administer a voluntary card registration program that identifies medical marijuana patients.

If you have a chronic illness or medical issue that allows you to use medical marijuana for treatment, you may be eligible for a Medical Marijuana Identification Card.

How Do I Get A Card? 
In order to apply for the Medical Marijuana Identification Card, you must provide written documentation from a licensed physician verifying that medical marijuana is needed to treat your medical condition, proof of residency, a government-issued photo identification, and a non-refundable fee payment (We do not accept cash. We accept credit, debit, money order or check):

• $100 for each medical marijuana identification card 
  
• $50 for Medi-Cal beneficiaries  

• For questions regarding regulations, cultivation, and compliance, please visit the City of San Jose Division of Cannabis Regulations website. 
  
• For the Federal Government's guidance regarding marijuana enforcement, see the U.S. Department of Justice website.
  

Please call (408) 792-5065 to schedule an appointment.  Appointments are available Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. ​​​​
