No, medical marijuana.

You're going to have to get a fresh script. No way around that one.

Well I already got approved for it. I just didn't realize at the time that you had to have a Pennsylvania ID. I thought I could just show my apt lease or a bill to prove residency. Oh well.

Need for marijauna is state based. Generally scripts are recognized but you're in some funny territory. You will probably have to see a doctor in PA and again, justify your need.

Don't be surprised if the doctor gives or prescribes something different.

How did you get approved? You need to have a PA drivers license or ID to first register in the program - ie: you need to be a resident. That has to happen before you can get certified by a physician. You would need to change residency in order to qualify.

I used one of those online companies that a friend here told me he used when he moved. It was like a 2 minute phone call where I basically just told the doctor I have anxiety and insomnia and he was like ok, you're approved. It was a little unsettling actually, I could tell he did not give a f at all and just wanted to be on his way.

Something doesn't smell right here. They should have been making sure you were registered on the PA portal (https://padohmmp.custhelp.com/app/login) already. No account there, no way for them to approve you for the program as there is no way for the state to assign a medical card #. Sounds like they were just happy to make their money though. You might want to take this over to one of the 2 PA medical marijuana subs: r/paMedicalMarijuana and/or r/TheRealPAMMJ

Slightly off topic but can I ask what company you used? Also, did you have any previous diagnoses for anxiety or insomnia?

It's called FadeMD. And I do have previous diagnoses for anxiety and insomnia but they didn't ask for any paperwork proving that or anything.
