Resident Procedure:
Island Med has made the medicinal marijuana recommendation process simple for residents of Puerto Rico. First, patients who live in Puerto Rico must register with Island Med, fill out a health questionnaire, and then pay the doctor’s fees. Next, doctors will contact patients to verify their medicinal marijuana eligibility. If successfully verified, patients may then immediately access their medicinal marijuana recommendations online. (Note that Island Med will then provide these patients with pre-filled license applications.)  Patients must then wait for the Department of Cannabis to issue their state-issued cannabis ID cards. Once the card arrives in Island Med's Office, patients may then legally access dispensaries across Puerto Rico.

Non-Resident Procedure: 
Traveling patients should first bring or upload their state-issued ID or Passport and Island Med  doctor will approve and verify and validate your medical condition. Then, patients must take this approved and verified documentation directly to dispensary to buy their medicine.  

Local Legislation:
Puerto Rico legislation states that as of January 2017, dispensaries are allowed to operate throughout the island. Legal forms of consumption include flower, oils, capsules, extracts, topicals, and edibles. Tourists are not allowed to take their medicinal marijuana treatments out of Puerto Rico and patients are only allowed to purchase a 30-day supply. 

Service Locations:

Island Med’s robust online portal serves every corner of Arecibo. Patients from Carrizales to Imbery and Barceloneta can now access medical marijuana recommendations and renewals online without having to step foot outside. With Island Med, there’s no need to trek across Puerto Rico to San Juan to locate a state-certified cannabis doctor.

Location Information:

A visit to Arecibo would be incomplete without time spent in La Cueva del Indio. Climb down a wooden ladder into a vast cave with authentic petroglyphs!
