Traveling over the holidays? How to become a visiting patient

If you’re planning to travel over the holidays, here are some handy tips in how to become a visiting patient in Arkansas or Mississippi. If you’re planning on visiting Louisiana, you can get a visitor’s pass from The Healing Clinics for as little as seven days for a reduced price.

So, if you’re planning on traveling to another state this year before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, we can help you make sure you have access to medical marijuana products even when traveling out of state.

Traveling to Arkansas from Louisiana

The State of Arkansas provides a straightforward process tailored to help you enjoy your stay without compromising your health. You will need to have a recommendation from a Louisiana physician. Click here to get started with your recommendation from The Healing Clinics.

• Must be registered in another state

    • Have proof (recommendation or card)

    • Once registered, the cost is $50 for a 90-day visiting patient card.

    • Once you get your card, you can shop in any dispensary in Arkansas.

    • Be prepared to allow 14 days for review, then you can download your card online.

Your condition must match one of the approved conditions for Arkansas. Those are:

• Cancer

• Glaucoma

Traveling to Mississippi from Louisiana

The Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program (MMCP) provides a safe and accessible program that meets the needs of patients and the public health and safety of all Mississippi residents.

Mississippi allows out-of-state patients to shop in their dispensaries with a temporary visitors pass. The visiting patient must medically qualify and apply for a visitors pass.

Mississippi has a long list of qualifying conditions listed here

Out-of-state medical cannabis patients visiting Mississippi need a valid medical marijuana card (or recommendation) from their home state, proof of their out-of-state registry identification card, and must complete a visiting patient form to purchase cannabis products under the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act.

Traveling from Other States to Louisiana

If you are a current resident of another state and have an active medical marijuana card or recommendation from another state, The Healing Clinics offers a short-term “visitors pass” for out-of-state patients. You can sign up for recommendations that start at seven days at reduced pricing. Click the button below to get started as a visiting patient to the Louisiana medical marijuana program.
