RISE × Green Bridge

Your discount is applied automatically when you book through this page. Use RISENEW for new patients or RISERENEW for renewals if prompted in the booking form. Same codes work in both Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Pennsylvania: New patients pay $95 (regularly $125), renewals pay $45 (regularly $50).

Maryland: New patients pay $95 (regularly $125), renewals pay $50 (regularly $75 — Maryland renewals save $25).

Each state's Department of Health charges separate annual registration fees that go directly to the state, not to us.

Yes — this is the part most patients get stuck on, and it's the part we built our practice around. We assist with logins, password resets, address verification, state fee payment, and any error messages the portal throws at you. Portal support is part of the certification, not a separate add-on.

Yes. Maryland uses the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA, formerly MMCC) OneStop registration system, which has its own quirks compared to PA's portal. We walk MD patients through OneStop registration, MCA Patient ID number lookup, and the 120-day first-purchase window. More on the MD process here.

No — medical marijuana cards are state-specific. A PA card works at PA dispensaries (including PA RISE stores); an MD card works at MD dispensaries (including MD RISE stores). If you split time between states, you would need separate certifications in each state where you want to legally purchase. The good news: the RISENEW and RISERENEW codes work in both states, so the discount applies whether you're certifying in PA, MD, or both.

Pennsylvania's medical marijuana program prohibits combustion/smoking of cannabis flower. Approved forms include vaporization of dry leaf, vape cartridges, tinctures, capsules, topicals, and concentrates. RISE and other PA dispensaries carry products in all of these approved forms.

No problem — your provider will try you again and may follow up by text. Please keep your ringer on during your selected window. Calls can show up as "Unknown," "No Caller ID," or "Spam Risk" depending on your carrier, so don't screen those out. If we can't reach you at all, our team will email you to reschedule at no charge.

Pennsylvania recognizes 23 qualifying medical conditions including chronic pain, anxiety disorders, PTSD, cancer, Crohn's disease, epilepsy, MS, Parkinson's, sickle cell anemia, opioid use disorder under specific criteria, and several others.

Maryland uses a more flexible system where any condition that a physician believes may be relieved by cannabis can potentially qualify, including but not limited to severe pain, severe nausea, anxiety, PTSD, glaucoma, and others — Maryland has a catch-all clause that Pennsylvania doesn't.

If you're unsure whether you qualify, your provider will discuss your conditions on the call.

Records help but aren't strictly required for every patient. If you have a recent diagnosis or documentation of an existing condition, upload it during intake — it speeds the call along and gives your provider context. If you don't have records readily available, your provider will still discuss your medical history on the call and determine whether you qualify.

Most patients can shop the same day or within 24 hours of certification. After your doctor's call, your certification is submitted to the state portal — once you complete portal registration and pay the state fee, you'll receive your card (digital or physical depending on the state). RISE accepts the digital card as soon as it's active in the state system.

Yes. Your medical marijuana card is valid at every licensed dispensary in the state where it was issued — your card works statewide regardless of which dispensary you eventually visit.
