If your application for a Medical Marijuana Identification
Card was denied, you may file an appeal.
There is no cost to you
for submitting an appeal.
You must complete and
submit an Appeals
Form directly to the California
Department of Health Services (CDHS) within 30 calendar days from the date
of your denial notice you received from your county
program.
You may ask your county
program for a copy of the Appeals
Form or you may download the
electronic copy.
Attach
a copy of your application to the Appeals
Form, and mail it to:

Be sure to sign and date
your appeals form.
By signing your appeals
form, you are giving your consent to have your county program release all
information they have in your application file to the CDHS. This
information will be used to evaluate your appeal.
A notice of the decision regarding your appeal will be sent to you and
your county’s program.
All appeal decisions by the CDHS' Medical Marijuana Program are final.
Your application may
be denied if you failed to provide all the required information, your
county program determined the application information was false, or you did not
meet the requirements for being a qualified patient or primary caregiver.
For more information about
denials, see Health
and Safety Code Section 11362.74.
