Do not hesitate to reach out if you need assistance with getting an appointment set. Our team would be more than happy to help.
Sign up as a new patient through the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC) and pay the $25 state fee. You will need to provide some basic information and upload a picture of a valid government-issued ID that shows your Maryland address as well as a clear picture of yourself with a white background.
Every patient will need to prove Maryland residency for their application to be accepted by the state of Maryland.
Once you have your consultation and if you are approved for a Maryland medical marijuana card, the doctor will upload your MMCC ID and certify you for medical cannabis treatment. You can immediately print your temporary certification and begin buying cannabis from any dispensary in Maryland while you wait for your card to come in the mail.
Your physical MMCC ID card will be valid for three years; however, you will still need to be re-certified annually by a licensed physician in MD. Veriheal will get in touch with you when your certification is approaching its expiration to help you set up a renewal consultation.

Maryland medical marijuana purchases are exempt from the 9% excise tax on recreational cannabis products.As of July 1, 2023, recreational cannabis is now available to purchase in Maryland. Within six months of recreational legalization in Maryland, cannabis sales reached nearly $700 million, with medical sales increasing by over $200 million in five months.
Since the Natalie M. LaPrade Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC) was initiated in 2015, state university graduates in Maryland created apps that track cannabis strain effects to report to other users. Otha Smith III and a team of techies used personal experience to create the app.
“Smith said he was overwhelmed by a variety of cannabis products when he first became a patient registered with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission as an alternative to using opioids to manage pain that stems from a car crash in 2003 in which he was ejected from the vehicle,” reports The Gazette.
While residents are making progressive cannabis apps, the state is changing arrest protocol when it comes to cannabis. In July 2020, a state judge ruled that the Baltimore Police Department can no longer arrest any resident on the basis of the smell of cannabis as probable cause.
The ruling, “builds on a ruling last summer by the same court that an officer could not arrest and search someone based on an observation of an amount of marijuana that is fewer than 10 grams, which is within the range that was decriminalized in 2014,” reports the Baltimore Sun.
As Maryland moves forward with medical cannabis apps and decriminalization efforts, residents of the Free State continue to openly benefit from the plant’s many healing properties.
To become a medical marijuana patient in Maryland, it’s a three-step process. First, book an appointment to see a doctor who will review your ailments and medical condition(s). You will also register with the MMCC as a new patient and upload a picture of a valid government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.) that clearly shows your Maryland address and pay the $25 state fee.
Maryland has a handful of qualifying conditions that make patients eligible for a medical cannabis card, including:
Additionally, the state allows any other “chronic medical condition which is severe and for which other treatments have been ineffective,” as acceptable eligibility for card approval.
Along with a qualifying condition(s), patients must prove their Maryland residency with a valid driver’s license or state identification card. The registration fee is $25.
While Maryland only registers residents into the statewide program, “a person from out-of-state who is in the state for the purpose of receiving medical care can be issued a written certification and obtain medical cannabis, but the state does not accept ID cards from other states,” according to the MMCC’s website.
Caregivers can apply to assist patients in Maryland online after meeting certain requirements. All caregivers must be at least 21-years-old and register with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC) for a $50 fee. A caregiver must also be Maryland resident, proving their address with a valid driver’s license or state identification card.
Once a caregiver has their valid MMCC Caregiver ID Card, they can purchase medical cannabis from dispensaries in Maryland and transport it to their patient(s). According to the MMCC, Caregivers in Maryland can only serve up to five patients at once, and patients may have a maximum of two caregivers at once. However, minor patients (those under the age of 18) must have at least one caregiver at all times, and only a minor patient’s parents or legal guardians can serve as their caregivers. Note that caregivers must register with the MMCC first, then the minor patient can be registered.
The legal amount a Maryland resident can possess is based on a doctor’s recommendation, according to the state, noting that “the certification issued by a provider for a patient identifies the amount of dried flower and THC that the patient may purchase in a 30-day period.”
Currently, under Maryland law, medical cannabis patients and caregivers cannot cultivate their own cannabis.
