Schedule an appointment to see a medical marijuana doctor in MT through Veriheal at a time that is most convenient for you. Provide basic medical history and book your appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor. You will need medical records and the doctor(s) can approve any qualifying condition.

Consult with a doctor for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your ailments, and ask any questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. After the appointment is complete and if you are approved, the doctor will fill out a recommendation form for medical marijuana. Once you have this you can then apply to the state.

Apply online to the Montana Medical Marijuana Program with the Montana Department of Health. Note that the application fee is $20 to the state.

The state will review your application and send your card via mail within 4 weeks. Once you receive your medical marijuana card, you can start buying your medical cannabis directly from the dispensary.

A patient must be a resident of the state with a driver’s license or identification verifying proof of address, be at least 18 years old (or have a designated caregiver if they are under 18), and have a physician’s certification confirming qualifying conditions.

You can sign up for a consultation with a certified medical cannabis doctor through Veriheal for as low as $49.75. The total cost, including the $20 state fee, is $219.

Like a patient, a caregiver must prove they are a Montana resident, supplying a valid driver’s license or state ID card with their current address. Additionally, a caregiver must not have a felony conviction to legally assist a patient.

Both medical cardholders and recreational buyers can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis flower, or the equivalent of 8 grams of concentrates or 800 milligrams of edibles.

Medical cardholders in Montana are allowed to grow more plants than those without a card. Patients can grow up to four mature plants and four seedlings at a time. Plants must not be visible to the public and cannot be resold.

To renew your Montana medical marijuana card through Veriheal, you’ll need to schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians. 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.

A medical marijuana card in Montana is valid for one year.
