How to Shop for Medical Marijuana in Connecticut

We’re here to make accessing medical marijuana products as simple and straightforward as possible for you. By following these steps, you’ll be able to explore our range of medical marijuana products and find what works best for your needs.

Register as a patient

To get started, you’ll need a valid medical marijuana registration certificate from the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). Think of this certificate as your key to accessing medical cannabis products legally in Connecticut. Here’s how the registration process works:

• Register. Create a patient account with the DAS Business Network. The DAS Business Network allows access to the certification system. The patient’s physician must certify that the patient’s medical condition qualifies for medical marijuana use before beginning the registration process.
• Log in. Log into the system using the credentials provided during the DAS Business Network registration process. Confirm the validity and correctness of the information provided on the Patient Information webpage before moving to the next step.
• Enter the caregiver information, if applicable. The patient’s physician may authorize a caregiver to access and handle the patient’s medical marijuana use, depending on the patient’s medical condition.
• Required documentation and photo. Select and either upload or mail the required documentation and photo to show proof of identity or proof of residency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring to the dispensary?

Please have these items ready at check-in:

• Your medical marijuana card – Connecticut registration certificate or a valid out-of-state medical card.
• Government-issued photo ID – driver’s license, passport, military ID, or state ID (must match the name on your card).
• Caregiver card – if you are purchasing on a patient’s behalf.
• Optional but helpful: a list of current medications and your preferred payment method (cash or debit) so we can serve you faster.

Do I need an appointment?

No. An appointment isn’t necessary when a client wants to visit our medical dispensary. We accept walk-in customers with a valid medical card to our dispensary in Connecticut. If you’re looking to save time, you can browse our online menu and place a pre-order for pickup or delivery right from our website.

How much cannabis can I buy?

According to the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, registered medical marijuana patients can purchase up to 5.0 ounces of medical marijuana per month pursuant to Section 28(c) RERACA. Patients whose allotments have been restricted or expanded by a certifying practitioner will have the allotment unchanged.

For logistical reasons, caregivers and patients approved before this change will continue receiving the same 2.5 ounces as listed on their registration. However, they’re entitled to an increased monthly allotment to 5.0 ounces at the dispensary.

Can I shop at Still River if I’m from out of state?

Out-of-state visitors can make purchases at our dispensary, provided they have a valid medical card. However, patients aren’t allowed to transport any purchased marijuana products back across state lines.

If you have questions about purchasing our products or traveling with them, just ask! Our team is always here to help explain store policies and requirements—we want to make sure you have all the information you need.
