Obtain your written certification

• Individuals applying as in-state qualified patients or minor qualified patients must first obtain an initial written certification from an authorized medical cannabis practitioner during an in-person examination. 
• Subsequent written certifications for the purpose of renewing a registry ID card may be provided by the medical cannabis practitioner electronically or during the course of a telehealth consultation. 

Before a patient can be issued a written certification for medical cannabis use, the patient’s medical cannabis practitioner must perform the following:

• Establish relationship with the patient by booking a consultation
• Diagnose the patient with, or confirm a diagnosis of a qualifying medical condition provided by another health care provider. Medical history will be required from your medical provider. (Instructions sent via Email after you schedule your consultation)
• Review a report from the Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting (KASPER) system related to the patient for at least the previous twelve (12) months. 
• Consult with the patient (or the patient’s custodial parent or legal guardian if the patient is a minor) about potential risks and side effects of medical cannabis use, including possible interactions between medical cannabis and any other medications that the patient is taking. 
• If the patient is a minor, obtain consent of the patient’s custodial parent or legal guardian. 
• After performing the above actions, the medical cannabis practitioner must record a written certification in the state’s medical cannabis practitioner registry within 24 hours of the patient’s in person examination.
