If you are seeking medical cannabis treatment in Virginia, talk to your doctor about a recommendation for cannabis extracts. Any Virginia doctor can recommend this treatment for a condition which they deem serious enough to warrant it.
After getting a physician recommendation start the registration process by clicking here and finding the "Register a Person" tab.
- You will be required to enter your last name and social security
number. - If you are not already in the licensing system, you will be
directed to the “Initial Registration” screen. - Follow the directions for completing the log in registration. You
will enter a User Id and Password that you will need to complete
the patient or parent/guardian registration. - Once you have completed this step, you can now log in.
Select Initial application from the menu on the left. On the Application for Licensure screen select Cannabis oil- Patient from the dropdown menu.
