Medical Cannabis in Maryland
Many people have spent their time in quarantine pondering just how to obtain your medical marijuana license during COVID-19 .
Good news: although the Department of Health (DOH) is working on a limited basis, patients are still able to obtain their cards at this time.
Below are the steps you need to take to get your medical marijuana license in Maryland.
Qualify for Your Medical Marijuana License
The first step towards getting your medical marijuana license in Maryland is to get approval from a physician that says you qualify for a card.
Currently, the guidelines indicate that a person can qualify for a card if they have a condition that is severe and which has not been relieved through medical treatment options.
Additionally, doctors can recommend a medical marijuana card for patients with chronic pain or debilitating medical conditions that cause intense nausea, muscle spasms, PTSD, appetite loss, and more.
Register for Your Medical Marijuana License
Once your doctor has given you the green light, you will need to register as a cardholder with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC).
To register you will need to provide your email address, the last 4 digits of your social security number, a copy of your ID, proof of residency, and a 2×2 inch photo showing your head and shoulders.
Please note the patient ID number you are provided once you have completed the online registration form.
Provider Certification
You will next need to be approved by a Maryland based health care provider who is in the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission system.
