Dr. Melanie Johnson, M.D. certifies patients with qualifying medical conditions for Minnesota’s Medical Cannabis Program. Patients must be certified before they register in the program and purchase medical marijuana.

Qualification is simple. You must live in Minnesota, have an e-mail address and suffer from one of the “qualifying medical conditions” listed on the program’s website.

Patients of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. A history of addiction does not affect your ability to qualify. Also, you don’t have to be terminally ill to get relief from your pain/symptoms.

Patient Certification

 

Dr. Johnson meets with you to diagnose or confirm your qualifying medical condition with a complete medical history, brief exam and record review. Meetings are conducted in person or by phone. Once your eligibility is confirmed, we educate you about medical cannabis and help you develop a treatment plan for your symptoms. After your appointment, you have the information you need to register for MN’s Medical Cannabis Program.

Even after you are certified, we are always happy to help. Most questions can be answered over the phone or via email. There is no additional charge.
