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 services on the same
day you join 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 as we must have your permission
to verify your recommendation.

There will be a brief intake orientation upon your first visit.
The LAPCG operates in strict compliance with California Health and Safety Code
§11362.5 and §11362.7. We serve only legally qualified patients and care givers.
Under no circumstances whatsoever are services provided to persons who are
not qualified under California law. You must become a registered member to

any services until our staff has verified your recommendation and the status of
your physicians medical license.
