Having a “qualifying medical condition” in Utah is the first step, but it doesn’t automatically make you a qualified patient. Here’s what you need to do next:

1. Visit a Qualified Medical Provider (QMP): You’ll need to consult with a provider who is registered with Utah’s medical cannabis program. During this appointment, they’ll assess whether medical marijuana is appropriate for your condition.

2. Get a Recommendation: If your QMP determines that medical cannabis may benefit you, they’ll submit a recommendation through Utah’s electronic verification system.

3. Apply for a Medical Cannabis Card: After your provider’s recommendation, you’ll need to complete an online application through Utah’s Department of Health. This includes paying a fee and submitting any required documentation.

4. Approval and Card Issuance: Once your application is reviewed and approved, you’ll receive your medical cannabis card, which allows you to purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries.

So, even if you have a qualifying condition, the additional steps with a QMP and application are necessary to become a fully qualified patient.
