About Medical Marijuana in Massachusetts

Massachusetts has eight specific conditions that make residents eligible for the medical cannabis program, including:

  • Anxiety
  • Cancer
  • Cachexia
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Glaucoma
  • Hepatitis C
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • PTSD

The state also allows “other conditions that severely limit one or more major life functions,” that a medical marijuana doctor or certifying healthcare provider can diagnose.

To register with the state’s medical marijuana program, Massachusetts residents no longer need to fill out a paper application. The state offers an online registration process, and new patients only need a written recommendation from a registered doctor, a valid ID proving state residency, a passport-like photo, and the unique PIN they receive after being certified. After registering, patients can visit Massachusetts dispensaries or the state’s Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.

To apply for a Massachusetts medical marijuana card, patients must need their written recommendation and unique PIN that they receive from their Veriheal doctor. They must also provide a valid ID proving state residency and include a passport-like photo with their application, which can be submitted online.

Massachusetts does not presently charge a registration fee for a state medical cannabis card. The $159 fee from Veriheal includes your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation.

Caregiver requirements include providing current acceptable identification that proves Massachusetts residency. First-time caregivers can use two of the following forms of identification, A valid driver’s license, state ID card, U.S. passport or Military ID with a clear photo. However, if you use a military ID you must provide proof of residency with a document like a utility bill.

Additionally, a personal caregiver must be at least 21 years of age and a Massachusetts resident. A caregiver must renew their MMJ card annually for it to remain valid. Once approved by the state, the caregiver will be given a specific registration number allowing them to purchase cannabis products on the qualifying patient’s behalf.

Massachusetts medical marijuana patients can possess up to 10 oz of cannabis at one time. They may purchase up to 10 oz of cannabis over a rolling 60-day period.

Additionally, like alcohol, you can’t have an open container of any form of marijuana, including cannabis flower, concentrates, or edibles, in the passenger area of your car while on the road or at a place where the public has access, and it must be stored in a closed container in your trunk or a locked glove compartment. It’s illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana; if you use, don’t get behind the wheel. Instead, use public transportation, ride-shares, or catch a ride with a sober friend.

Massachusetts residents aged 21 years or older may grow up to 6 plants per person. A single household may not exceed 12 plants for 2 or more adults.

They can confirm that you still need medical cannabis for your qualifying condition and help you with the renewal process. We will remind you when it’s almost time for your renewal appointment, or you can reach out to our Customer Service Department so we can assist you and apply a renewal discount for you.

Dr. was very kind and caring. Staff was wonderful at communicating and very helpful and helping me get over a hurdle which was not filing with the state first but I was able to do that and they got me right in the next day and I had my card the following morning and just received it in the mail so it took about 4 to 5 days. They were fantastic five stars from me.
