Proposed: Revised Regulation Concerning Palliative Use of Marijuana

 

Pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes, Chapter 420f, Section 21a-408, patients who are currently receiving medical treatment for a debilitating medical condition set out in the law may qualify for a temporary registration certificate.

 

To qualify, a patient must also be at least 18 years of age and a Connecticut resident. Each patient may also register one primary caregiver if the need for a caregiver is documented by the patient's physician.

 

The temporary registration certificate application is available online and registration involves a three step process:

• Step 1: The physician initiates the registration process by logging into a secure, online system and certifying their patient.

• Step 2: After the physician electronically submits a valid certification, their patient can access the online system to complete the patient portion of the application. 

• Step 3: If the physician certifies the need for a primary caregiver, the caregiver can log in after the patient, and complete the application.
