New Britain residents follow Connecticut's two-step DCP pathway — telehealth visit with a CT-licensed certifying practitioner, then DCP identity and residency verification. From Downtown New Britain and Polish Hill to Prospect Hill and Broad Street, every step happens from home.
Book a real-time video visit with a Connecticut-licensed certifying practitioner through this platform. The practitioner reviews your medical history against Connecticut's list of qualifying debilitating medical conditions under Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 420f, administered by the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). Qualifying conditions include cancer, glaucoma, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, PTSD, HIV/AIDS, ALS, Crohn's disease, sickle cell disease, ulcerative colitis, cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, Tourette's syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, chronic pain, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and others. The practitioner must diagnose the qualifying condition and determine that the potential benefits of medical marijuana are likely to outweigh the health risks, then submits the certification directly to DCP.
After the practitioner submits the certification, the DCP contacts you for identity and residency verification — there is no state fee. Once approved (typically within 1 to 7 business days), DCP emails your digital registration certificate. Present your digital certificate and a Connecticut ID at any licensed dispensary facility or hybrid retailer statewide to purchase your monthly allowance of up to 5 ounces of medical marijuana, completely tax-free — exempt from Connecticut's state sales tax and cannabis excise taxes.
Whether you're in Downtown New Britain, Polish Hill, Prospect Hill, along Broad Street, or anywhere across Hardware City — your CT-licensed certifying practitioner is a real-time video call away.

Connecticut's process has two steps. A New Britain patient books a telehealth appointment with a CT-licensed certifying practitioner through this platform. The practitioner reviews the patient's qualifying condition and, if appropriate, submits the certification directly to DCP. DCP then contacts the patient for identity and Connecticut residency verification — at no state fee — and emails a digital registration certificate within 1 to 7 business days. The patient presents the digital certificate and a Connecticut ID at any licensed dispensary facility or hybrid retailer statewide to purchase up to 5 ounces per month, exempt from Connecticut's sales tax and cannabis excise taxes.
