How It Works

Getting a medical marijuana card involves two parties: a licensed physician who decides whether you qualify, and your state program, which registers you and issues the card. Here is how each step works with Kif.

1. Check your state

Each state sets its own qualifying conditions, age rules, fees and card validity. Start with your state guide to see the rules and the official program page.

2. Book a video evaluation

Choose a time that suits you. Appointments run 7 days a week. You will fill in a short health history and can upload any records you have.

3. Meet a state-licensed physician

A physician licensed in your state reviews your history with you by private video, explains the benefits and risks of medical cannabis and decides whether you have a qualifying condition.

4. Get your certification

If you qualify, the physician issues your certification, often the same day. You pay only if you are approved. If you do not qualify, you are not charged for the evaluation.

5. Register with your state

Most states then ask you to register online and pay a state fee. The state issues your card on its own timeline. Some states, such as Texas and Louisiana, do not issue a patient card, and the physician sends your prescription or recommendation directly.

6. Renew on time

Certifications and cards expire on the schedule your state sets. Book a renewal evaluation before your expiry date to avoid a gap.

What you need

• A valid photo ID and proof of residency in your state
• Any records about your condition, such as visit notes or prescriptions
• A device with a camera and a private place for the visit
