Which partner program fits your business?
Each program has its own page with the details. Pick the one that sounds like you. The application form at the bottom of this page works for all three.
Retail partner program
A customer with a valid medical card is a medical sale, and since April 28, 2026 that sale is treated differently under federal law (see what changed). We help your customers become registered medical patients: an online evaluation with a licensed physician, a recommendation that follows your state's rules, and support when it is time to renew.
You get partner-only pricing for your customers and the five partner tools described below.
Doctors Partner Program
Join our network of licensed physicians and run online evaluations for patients in the state where you hold your license. Whether to recommend medical cannabis stays your clinical decision.
Requirements and the way the collaboration works are explained on the program page.
Brand Ambassador affiliate program
Tell people who may qualify for their state's medical program about Dr. Weedy and earn rewards for the patients you refer. You do not need a medical background. You talk about the service; our physicians handle the evaluation.
How rewards work is explained on the program page. Once you join, your referral balance is in your account.
What a partner gets from Dr. Weedy
These five tools are built for licensed medical retailers first. Physicians and affiliates have their own terms, described on their program pages.
-
Partner-only pricing
Your customers pay a partner price for their online evaluation, available through your store and nowhere else.
-
Certified patients sent to you
We send patients who got certified with us to partner stores, so a new card can turn into a new customer.
-
Training materials
Short materials for your staff and your customers: who may qualify, how the evaluation goes, what a card changes at the counter.
-
In-store QR codes and kiosks
A customer scans a code or uses a kiosk and starts the evaluation right in your store, with no trip to a clinic.
-
API integration for chains
Chains can connect the evaluation flow to their own systems instead of handling every referral by hand.
How the partnership works, from application to first patient
Your team never has to give medical advice. Here is who does what at each step.
-
Step 1
Send the form
You: fill in the form below and tell us which program and states interest you.
Dr. Weedy: our partnership manager reads it and replies by email.
-
Step 2
Agree on the setup
You: choose the program, the partner pricing for your customers and the tools you want.
Dr. Weedy: we confirm the terms and send the training materials.
-
Step 3
Set up your store
You: place the QR codes or a kiosk and walk your staff through the materials.
Dr. Weedy: we provide the codes and materials. Chains get API access.
-
Step 4
First patient
You: show a customer how to start the evaluation.
Dr. Weedy: a physician licensed in the patient's state does the evaluation, the documents follow state rules, and certified patients are sent to you.
Why partners choose Dr. Weedy for the medical side
When you send people to us, you need to know what happens to them next. This is what every patient gets.
-
Physicians licensed in the patient's state
Every evaluation is one on one with a physician who holds an active license in the state where the patient lives.
-
Online, with nothing to drive to
The patient applies and meets the physician online, from home. No clinic visit, no waiting room.
-
State program rules
The evaluation and the documents follow the rules of the patient's state medical program, including who qualifies and what the state asks for.
-
Private by default
Patient information is handled under our HIPAA compliance policy, the same way for every patient, whoever referred them.
Across 250 reviews from patients in the states where we are licensed. We do not sort them by score and do not hide the low ones.
- 150,000+patients evaluated - everyone who has been through an appointment with us, in every state where we are licensed
- Since 2017doing only this: online evaluations for medical cannabis programs, and nothing else on the side

What Schedule III changes for medical cannabis sales
On April 28, 2026, a Department of Justice order published in the Federal Register (91 FR 22714) moved marijuana sold under a state medical license, along with FDA-approved products, from Schedule I to Schedule III [1]. For a store, what that means depends on what it sells.
Choose how your store sells to see what the order changes for you.
Medical only
Section 280E of the tax code, the rule that denies most business deductions to sellers of Schedule I and II substances, no longer applies to medical activity under a state license as of April 28, 2026.
Medical and adult-use
The change covers the medical part of your business. How to split income and costs between medical and adult-use sales, and whether any relief applies to past tax years, is still open: Treasury and the IRS have said they will issue guidance, and it has not been published yet.
Adult-use only
Adult-use sales stay in Schedule I, so the order does not change their federal status. A separate DEA review of moving all marijuana is not finished. As of November 5, 2026, it is paused.
What does not change
- Schedule III is not legalization.
- Adult-use sales remain illegal under federal law.
- Banking restrictions are the same. The SAFER Banking Act has not passed.
The practical reading for a retailer: the medical share of your sales now has a direct financial meaning, and a customer with an active medical card is a medical sale.
This is not tax or legal advice. Review your accounting with your CPA or attorney.
Where Dr. Weedy works with partners
Medical cannabis programs are run by the states, and each one sets its own rules: who qualifies, which documents count, how long a card lasts. Our physicians see patients in the states we serve, and the list below updates on its own when that changes. For the rules in a specific state, see cannabis laws by state.
Questions business owners ask us
How do I become a Dr. Weedy partner?
Fill in the partner form at the bottom of this page. Tell us which program fits you (retail, physicians or affiliates) and which states you work in. Our partnership manager reads every application and replies by email to agree on the next steps.
Who does the medical evaluation and issues the documents?
A physician with an active license in the patient's state, working through Dr. Weedy. The evaluation happens online. That is telemedicine: the patient and the physician meet remotely, under the telehealth and medical program rules of the patient's state.
Your staff explains how to start and never gives medical advice. The recommendation and the state documents come from the physician.
Does Schedule III end Section 280E for my store?
For medical activity under a state license, Section 280E stops applying as of April 28, 2026. Adult-use sales stay in Schedule I. If you sell both, how to split income is still waiting on Treasury and IRS guidance. See what Schedule III changes and talk to your CPA before you change your accounting.
What do my customers pay for an evaluation?
Customers of partner stores get partner-only pricing for their evaluation. The exact terms depend on your program and setup, and our partnership manager shares them after you apply.
Can a chain connect its own systems?
Yes. Chains can connect through our API. Single locations usually start with in-store QR codes or a kiosk, plus training materials for the staff.
How can my staff check a customer's recommendation?
Recommendations issued through Dr. Weedy can be checked on our patient verification page.
