Letters responding to documentation requests related to driving or licensing matters, limited to medically supportable facts.

Court / Legal Proceedings

Letters confirming evaluation and patient status and/or general clinical statements, when appropriate and within scope.

What's Included

Everything the $125 fee covers

Documentation evaluation

A clinician reviews your request, understands the situation, and examines any uploaded paperwork from the requesting party.

Tailored written response

A letter that may include evaluation date, certification relationship, and other medically supportable information specific to your case.

Form completion (when applicable)

If an agency provides a specific form, we complete the medically supportable sections and attach a scope addendum when needed.

Clinical safety guidance

General guidance on impairment and safety — for example, advising against use during work hours or while operating machinery.

Secure record retention

All documentation is handled and stored securely in compliance with HIPAA privacy and security requirements.

Please allow up to 48 hours after your documentation visit for the letter to be completed and delivered. Complex cases involving multiple forms or extensive records may require additional time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about medical cannabis letters

Quick answers to what Pennsylvania patients ask most often before requesting documentation.

Can my employer fire me for being a Pennsylvania medical cannabis patient?

Pennsylvania's Medical Marijuana Act includes employment protections for certified medical cannabis patients — employers generally cannot discharge, threaten, refuse to hire, or otherwise discriminate against you solely because of your status as a certified patient. However, employers can still prohibit being under the influence at work and can enforce safety-sensitive position rules.

The April 2026 federal rescheduling of state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III does not change PA's employment protections, and it does not override safety-sensitive position rules, DOT regulations, federal contractor drug testing policies, or zero-tolerance frameworks for federal employees. A documentation letter can support an accommodation conversation, but it does not override these requirements or guarantee a specific outcome. We are not attorneys; for legal advice consult an employment lawyer.

Does federal marijuana rescheduling to Schedule III change anything for me as a PA medical cannabis patient?

For most patients, day-to-day use does not change. On April 22, 2026, the DOJ and DEA placed state-licensed medical marijuana into Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. This is a federal regulatory shift focused on research access, banking, and the tax treatment of state-licensed operators — not patient behavior.

What does NOT change:

  • Pennsylvania's medical marijuana program rules and patient protections
  • Employer rights to prohibit being under the influence at work
  • Safety-sensitive position rules and DOT regulations
  • Federal contractor drug testing policies
  • VA doctors still cannot recommend medical cannabis (VHA Directive 1315)
  • Federal employee zero-tolerance policies

What may change over time: Research access, banking for state-licensed operators, and the 280E tax treatment of cannabis businesses. A separate DEA hearing on broader rescheduling — including adult-use cannabis — begins June 29, 2026.

If you have specific questions about how this affects your situation, consult an employment or healthcare attorney.

How long does it take to get my employment letter?

Most letters are completed and delivered within 48 hours of your documentation visit. Complex cases involving multiple agency forms, extensive medical records, or unusual requests may take a few days longer.

Do I need to already be a Green Bridge Society patient?

No. You don't need to be a current Green Bridge patient to request a documentation letter. This is a separate, fee-based service. If you're not yet certified and would like to get your medical card first, visit our Pennsylvania certification page.

Can you guarantee my employer will accept the letter?

No. Recipients — employers, courts, agencies, landlords — are not required to approve requests or change policies based on the documentation we provide. The letter establishes the medically supportable facts; the recipient makes their own decisions.

Will the letter say I'm "fit for duty" or pass a drug test?

No. Fitness-for-duty certifications, direct-threat assessments, and predictions about drug test results, metabolite levels, or laboratory cutoffs are outside the scope of this service. We cannot provide statements requiring jobsite observation or detailed knowledge of workplace hazards we cannot verify.

What if my employer has their own form they want filled out?

If a recipient insists on their form, we complete the medically supportable portions and attach a scope addendum explaining what the clinician can and cannot attest to. If a form requires out-of-scope conclusions (legal opinions, fitness-for-duty, etc.) as a condition of completion, we provide a limited narrative letter instead.

Is the $125 fee covered by insurance, HSA, or FSA?

The $125 documentation fee is paid out of pocket at submission. Like most medical cannabis services, it is not billed to insurance. Some patients have used HSA/FSA cards successfully — check with your plan administrator before assuming coverage.
