Tempe residents follow Arizona's standard Prop 203 pathway — telehealth visit with an ADHS-registered provider, written certification, then apply to ADHS directly. From Downtown Tempe and Tempe Town Lake to South Tempe and Kyrene, every step happens from home.
Use the booking widget on this site to pick an available time. Your appointment is with an ADHS-registered Arizona provider (MD, DO, NP, or PA). The consultation fee is paid at booking. The visit takes place over real-time video from anywhere in Tempe. The provider reviews your medical history against Arizona's qualifying conditions under Prop 203.
If a qualifying condition applies, the provider issues a written certification — not a prescription, but a formal document confirming a qualifying condition. The provider must be registered with ADHS. You receive the written certification to use in your ADHS application. The written certification is valid for 90 days after issuance.
Submit your application, written certification, and supporting documents through the ADHS Medical Marijuana Registry. Pay the $150 state fee ($75 for financial hardship) directly to ADHS. Your card is valid for one year and allows purchases of up to 2.5 oz per 14 days at any licensed Arizona dispensary.
Whether you're in Downtown Tempe, near Tempe Town Lake, South Tempe, Kyrene, or anywhere across the greater Tempe area — your ADHS-registered provider is a real-time video call away.
Direct answers sourced from ADHS guidance for Tempe residents navigating Arizona's medical marijuana program.
Tempe is the Heart of the Valley — a city of nearly 190,000 residents at the geographic center of the Phoenix metropolitan area, situated between Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Chandler along the Salt River. Tempe is home to the Tempe Town Lake waterfront district, Mill Avenue's entertainment corridor, and a thriving technology and innovation economy. Tempe residents access Arizona's medical marijuana program on the same statewide terms as every other Arizona patient: a telehealth evaluation with an ADHS-registered provider, a written certification, and an application through the ADHS registry with a $150 state fee. TempeMarijuana.clinic connects Tempe residents with ADHS-registered providers via telehealth.
Arizona legalized adult-use cannabis through Proposition 207 in 2020, but the Proposition 203 medical program continues to offer meaningful advantages. Medical patients pay lower excise tax than adult-use consumers. The medical purchase limit — 2.5 ounces per 14-day period — is significantly higher than the adult-use transaction limit of one ounce. Patients under 21 with a qualifying condition may participate in the medical program. Medical card holders also receive statutory legal protections under Prop 203 that adult-use consumers do not. For Tempe residents with a qualifying chronic condition, the medical card often pays for itself quickly.
Arizona's medical marijuana program, administered by the ADHS Medical Marijuana Registry, requires a written certification from a provider (MD, DO, NP, or PA) who is registered with ADHS. The written certification is not a prescription — it is formal documentation of a qualifying condition. Once the provider issues the certification, the patient applies through the ADHS online registry, pays the $150 fee directly to ADHS, and receives a 1-year patient card upon approval.
Arizona's qualifying conditions include cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn's disease, agitation of Alzheimer's disease, cachexia, severe and chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, severe or persistent muscle spasms, and PTSD. The program also includes any other chronic or debilitating condition approved by ADHS, giving providers some discretion for conditions that produce qualifying symptoms.
