    1. Meet with a QMP

    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.

    2. Schedule a consultation with a Beehive Pharmacist

    First-time patients are required to schedule a consultation with one of our pharmacists. We’ll answer any questions and help you select the best cannabis products and consumption methods to achieve your individual treatment goals. You can choose to do the consultation in-person at our pharmacy or via video conference before coming in. You can schedule your consultation here.

    3. Make your first purchase

    Visit our pharmacy at 1991 S 3600 W in Salt Lake City, UT to make your first purchase. You’ll need to bring a valid form of photo ID, such as a driver’s license, with you.

    More detailed instructions can be found on the state’s medical cannabis site.

    All first time patients, whether you have a letter or a medical cannabis card, are strongly encouraged to visit our New Patient page to become a patient. State law requires that you have a consultation with a pharmacist to discuss possible drug interactions with other pharmaceutical prescriptions you might be taking. This consultation is important to educate patients on the benefits of different dosage forms of medical cannabis allowed in the state of Utah.

    With the medical cannabis program starting on March 1, there has been a limited supply of products available but we have the following products available:

    · Unprocessed Cannabis Flower
    · Concentrated Oil Vape Cartridges
    · Tinctures
    · Topical creams
    · Tablet
    · Capsule
    · Concentrated oils (live resin, RSO, hash, wax)
    · Transdermal patches · Gelatinous Cubes (other edible products such as chocolate, cookies, brownies, and candies are not permitted under Utah Code 26-61a-102 (32).)

    Smoking of cannabis is not permitted but patients may purchase a medical cannabis device that warms cannabis material into a vapor without the use of a flame and delivers cannabis to an individual’s respiratory system. You may find these devices (such as Volcanos) at both of our pharmacies.

    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.
