An Arizona-licensed physician can certify your debilitating medical condition — and a registered caregiver can buy on your behalf when you can't.
Arizona's Medical Marijuana Program is run by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).
An MD, DO, naturopathic, or homeopathic physician completes ADHS's certification form.
Upload the certification, a signed attestation, and your Arizona ID.
$150, or $75 with SNAP documentation.
Valid for two years, usually within about 10 days of a complete application.
Arizona lets registered patients designate a caregiver who can buy medical marijuana for them. Here's what ADHS and Arizona law require.
Caregivers must be at least 21 and agree to help the patient.
One caregiver can assist up to five registered patients.
A separate state fee for the caregiver's two-year card.
Caregivers can be reimbursed for actual costs, but not paid a fee for their service.
Based on ADHS's Designated Caregiver Checklist and the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act.
Excise tax registered patients don't pay. Regular sales tax still applies.
Per 14 days, compared with the 1-ounce adult-use limit.
Only medical patients can designate someone to buy for them.
*For PTSD, the physician must see evidence that you're currently in conventional treatment. See the ADHS program pages.

Queen Creek spans Maricopa and Pinal counties at the foot of the San Tan Mountains. It's known for agritourism favorites like the Queen Creek Olive Mill and Schnepf Farms, the Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre, and a family-focused community that's among the fastest-growing in Arizona. Queen Creek residents follow the same statewide rules as every patient in Arizona's Medical Marijuana Program.
The program operates under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (A.R.S. § 36-2801 et seq.), approved by voters in 2010. Adult-use sales followed under Proposition 207 in 2020. ADHS administers both.
Public use is prohibited, driving impaired is illegal, and cannabis remains illegal under federal law. See ADHS for current rules.
