Your Medical Cannabis Registry Card

Cannabis can meaningfully impact other activities, such as working out. Recent studies suggest that cannabis can aid with pain, enhance motivation, protect brain cells, help with recovery times, and serve as an anti-inflammatory. 

You must have photo identification that shows the full name and date of birth of the patient or guardian/caretaker of the patient, as well as your State Department of Health Identification Card.
