For New Patients

BECOMING A MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARDHOLDER:

Step 1. Meet With A Physician. First, make an appointment with your physician. Only a physician can initiate your application by certifying that you are a patient with a qualifying condition with Department of Consumer Protection. In addition to having a qualifying condition, you must be a resident of Connecticut. Your physician will register you as a patient using a valid email address. Please note that if you do not have an email address, you will need to create one to complete the registration process.

Step 2. Complete State Application. Once your physician has certified you, you will need to complete the application on the State of CT’s website, www.BIZNET.CT.gov – Instructions for completing the application will be emailed to you from [email protected] once you have been successfully certified. You may ask the Dispensary Facility of your choice for assistance with application process. Thames Valley Relief is happy to help patients complete and submit their applications on a walk-in basis during business hours.

Step 3. Schedule Patient Orientation. You will receive an email from [email protected] upon approval with the subject line, “Patient Approved.” When you receive your Temporary Registration Certificate via email, please call the Dispensary Facility to schedule your Orientation Appointment. The Orientation Appointment includes a complimentary, private consultation with a Pharmacist and your first purchase.
