Provide some basic medical history and book an appointment with a licensed marijuana doctor. The $199 fee includes your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation.
Consult with a marijuana physician who will evaluate your ailments and answer any questions you have about medical marijuana treatment. This can be either online, through video, or in person, depending on where you live.
If you are approved for medical marijuana, you’ll receive your recommendation. Depending on your state, you will either be granted immediate access to dispensaries or wait to receive your card in the mail.
North Carolina has considered several bills on medical marijuana over the years, with the most recent being passed by the state Senate as recently as June 2024. However, all of them have failed to become law.
Fortunately, state residents do have some options. Although medical and recreational cannabis is still illegal, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) have taken it upon themselves to open dispensaries for medical and recreational purposes on tribal land. Their program is accessible to all North Carolina citizens.
It is important to note that possession of less than half an ounce is still a Class 3 misdemeanor, so people who leave the tribal lands with cannabis run the risk of trouble with the law.
To date, the only relief North Carolina officials have given to citizens regarding medical cannabis is passing the Epilepsy Alternative Treatment Act, which permits adolescents to seek hemp extract as an alternative treatment for intractable seizure disorder.
