To qualify for a medical marijuana card in Ohio, you must have a previously diagnosed disease or illness that falls under the state's list of qualifying conditions. These conditions have been recognized by the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (OMMCP) as eligible for medical cannabis treatment. Our team at Ohio Green ReLeaf is here to guide you through the process and help you determine if your condition meets the state's requirements.
Once you have your medical records that show your prior diagnosis, our doctors will be able to review your chart and meet with you to approve a medical cannabis card recommendation.
There are not guarantees that you will be accepted into the program. However, if you have one of the current qualifying conditions with a prior diagnosis then there should be no reason that you would not be accepted into the program. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the one exception to this rule, here at Ohio Green ReLeaf we offer PTSD diagnosis during certain operating hours.
