LATEST UPDATE FROM THE MMCC: 

MMCC Patient Registry is experiencing very high volumes of applications for Medical Cannabis Registration. To be fair to all patients seeking registration, MMCC cannot expedite the processing of an application for individuals that visit MMCC in person. Our staff is happy to assist in registering a patient when needed, however, the application will be processed in the order it was received. Additional staff has been hired to address the patient registration volumes. 

AS ALWAYS, HOSPICE APPLICATIONS ARE PROCESSED IMMEDIATELY. 

While the registration processes and requirements differ for adult and minor patients, both are completed online. The online application form must be completed and submitted in one session; you will not be able to save and complete the application later.
