If you have already visited your practitioner regarding participation in the medical cannabis program and you do not see a recommendation certification available, please contact your practitioner. Your practitioner must first be approved to participate in the program and then submit an electronic certification on your behalf. You will then be able to submit your application.

This is only one step in the patient enrollment process. Patients seeking to participate in the medical cannabis program must also complete the application process with the MS State Department of Health.
