To get a medical marijuana card in Massachusetts, you must be certified by a licensed healthcare
provider. At ECS Wellness, our physicians evaluate your medical history, determine if you
qualify, and guide you through the registration process with the Massachusetts Cannabis Control
Commission. Once certified, you’ll receive an email to complete your registration and access
your card through the state’s Medical Use of Marijuana Online System.
Massachusetts law allows certification for conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD,
cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and other debilitating illnesses. At ECS Wellness, we take a
personalized, whole-body approach—considering how your symptoms relate to the
endocannabinoid system and whether medical cannabis may help restore balance and improve
quality of life.
