Meet in person with a qualified medical provider (QMP) to discuss if medical cannabis is right for you. Your QMP will perform an assessment and determine if your medical condition is one of the approved qualifying conditions and will benefit from medical cannabis treatment.
To obtain your medical cannabis card, create a Utah ID account at id.utah.gov. Once you’re logged in you’ll see links to start your medical cannabis application.
After submitting your online application, your QMP will log in to the EVS and issue your recommendation, then you’ll return to the EVS to pay your application fee.
The Utah Department of Health will review your application to make sure all requirements are met. The review takes 15 days or less.

Medical Cannabis Products We will always do our best to suggest products that may help you with your medical condition and we always stand behind our products. However, there is no return or exchange for medical cannabis flower, tinctures, topicals, concentrates or edibles as they are still considered controlled substances. We can only exchange products if they are defective or damaged*. If you ever have a question regarding a return, please reach out to us via email or phone. *All accepted returns/exchanges are subject to manager and pharmacist approval
Utah’s program is focused on medical patients. It takes some time to receive a medical card from a QMP and meet with a pharmacist. After you complete those steps, your purchasing experience may be typical to visiting a store in CA or CO although our Pharmacy Technicians will focus their attention on addressing your medical needs. Unlike CA or CO, cultivators and processors are limited and we only purchase products grown or manufactured in Utah. The supply chain needs time to develop. This impacts product availability and price to patients. We are committed to continue to develop the Utah market and make the purchasing process as seamless and affordable as possible.
