How To Join
There are two ways to join the LAPCG

Option #1 -- In Person
Join in person by bringing the ORIGINAL copy of your doctor's letter of recommendation and your
state-issued photo ID to the LAPCG during regular operating hours. If you have a state or county
issued medical cannabis ID card, you may bring that as well. (Please note that medical cannabis ID cards
are optional under state law.) Your membership will be pending until we verify your letter of
recommendation. You may not be able to receive same-day services if we are unable to contact your
physician.

Option #2 -- By Fax
You can fax your letter of recommendation, a copy of your California Identification or Driver's License,
and a completed online registration form in advance of your first visit. This way, you can be sure that
your letter has been verified before you arrive. To register in advance, print a copy of the New Member
Brochure and Online Advance Registration Form by clicking the links. Be sure to read the New Member
Brochure carefully. It contains important information about your membership.

Fax your completed registration form and your letter of recommendation to the LAPCG at (323)
882-6263. It usually takes 2-3 business days to complete the verification. You can check the status of
your registration by calling us at (323) 882-6033 during regular business hours.

Be sure to sign your online registration form.
We must have your permission to verify your recommendation.

There will be a brief in-take orientation upon your first visit.
