The Connecticut State Department of Consumer Protection specifies the state’s medical cannabis registry’s list of qualifying conditions. The conditions include:
Schedule an appointment through FadeMD to meet with a doctor who can provide a recommendation. Upon approval, you'll register with the state and submit an application. The state no longer requires a registration fee for patients and caregivers. The state will process your application, notify you of approval, and mail your card. Once you have your card, you can start purchasing from dispensaries. If you haven’t received certification after 3 weeks, please contact the CT State Medical Marijuana program directly.
Note that the physician will initiate the online registration by submitting a valid patient certificate. Afterwards, the patient will have access to the online system to complete the application section.
Caregivers must have a valid email address, primary telephone number, and a Connecticut driver’s license or state ID. They must also be at least 18 years old, agree to assist the patient with palliative cannabis use, have no felony convictions, and cannot be a certified physician. Caregivers are limited to assisting one patient at a time, except in cases of parental, guardianship, conservatorship, or sibling relationships with each patient they assist.

The Justice Department proposed a new rule to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug, which would ease federal restrictions on cannabis if approved. This reclassification would not legalize or decriminalize marijuana nationwide but would place it on the same regulatory level as ketamine and anabolic steroids. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse." The proposed change would recognize marijuana as having "a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence."
The proposal initiates a months-long comment and administrative period before any changes take effect. This follows President Biden's 2022 request for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Justice Department to review marijuana's classification. HHS found credible scientific evidence supporting marijuana's medical use. The notice of proposed rulemaking reflects the attorney general's agreement with HHS's recommendation. President Biden hailed the move as "monumental," emphasizing marijuana policy as a priority of his administration, which has also worked to pardon those convicted of simple possession.
