Patients with medical conditions not listed in the law may petition the Compassionate Use Board for a medical cannabis card, which will review complete petitions and recommended eligibility on a case-by-case basis.*

**In the state of Utah, the only psychiatric condition that qualifies you for a Medical Cannabis Card is PTSD.

PTSD is also the most difficult condition to qualify under, as you need a formal diagnosis from the VA, a psychiatrist, or a psychologist.

This may dismay you if you are looking to qualify with anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions--but please read the other qualifying conditions and see if any of them apply to you. **

*Unfortunately, at this time, Elevated Therapeutics of Utah does not currently have any QMPs who are accepting Compassionate Use Board (CUB) applicants. Please visit the state's QMP locator to find a QMP who will help you with your CUB application.
