Medical Cannabis Certification
Steps for Medical Cannabis Certification
Step 1: Physician Certification
Contact Dr. Dodson’s office staff for a certification screening to check if you are a candidate for medical cannabis. Our phone number is 763-588-7099.
- Have your medical records emailed or faxed to our facility at fax number: 1-877-849-3529.
- Once medical records are reviewed and accepted, you will be scheduled with Dr. Dodson and physician certified.
- You will be required to provide Dr. Dodson with an email address.
- If you do not have an email, you will be asked to acquire an artificial email by calling the Office of Medical Cannabis.
Step 2: State Register
You will receive a link using the address you provided to Dr. Dodson from the Office of Medical Cannabis.
The email will contain the link you need to click on in order to register and submit your enrollment application. Wait for your approval email from the MN Dept of Health OMC. Effective 07/01/2024 certification with state registration will qualify for three years.
Step 3: Visit a Cannabis Patient Center/Dispensary
You, your parent, legal guardian, or caregiver must visit the cannabis patient center, where a pharmacist will review your account and recommend specific dosage and type. Payment will be made at that time to the cannabis patient center for your medical cannabis medication.

Step 4: Fill Out Your Patient Self Evaluation Form
Before returning for more medical cannabis, you must log in to the registry and fill out the patient self-evaluation form. This must be done each time you need more medical cannabis.
