7 Certification

Visit a registered provider to obtain a valid written certification. Medical cannabis cannot be purchased without a valid written certification from a provider registered with MMCC Certifications are valid for a maximum of one year. Please note: If nothing is dispensed from a certification within 120 days of issue, the certification expires and you will need to obtain a new certification from your provider. Once registered, patients must obtain a valid written certification from a provider registered with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. The patient is required by law to have a bona fide provider-patient relationship with the provider and the provider must approve medical cannabis as a treatment option for the patient for a qualifying medical condition. Qualifying medical conditions include cachexia, anorexia, wasting syndrome, severe pain, severe nausea, seizures, severe or persistent muscle spasms, glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain. The Provider Registryis open and the Commission encourages providers to register. Any provider with an active, unrestricted license in good standing with the Maryland State Board of Physicians and actively registered to prescribe controlled substances in Maryland is eligible to register with MMCC. When both the patient and provider are registered with MMCC, the provider will need the patient's MMCC-issued Patient ID Number to issue the certification for medical cannabis through the Commission's secure online application.

After your registration has been approved by MMCC and your provider has issued you a valid written certification, you are ready to visit a licensed Maryland dispensary to purchase medical cannabis.

9 IDs

ID cards are optional for patients purchasing in Maryland. Care givers must aquire an ID card. An ID card cannot be purchased until a valid written certification has been obtained from a provider registered with MMCC Patient ID. Card fee: $50
