About Medical Marijuana in Utah

Medical cannabis in Utah is available to allow residents who suffer from “pain lasting longer than two weeks that is not adequately managed, in the qualified medical provider’s opinion, despite treatment attempts using conventional medications other than opioids or opiates or physical interventions” or have “a rare condition or disease that affects less than 200,000 individuals in the U.S., as defined in federal law, and that is not adequately managed despite treatment attempts using conventional medications (other than opioids or opiates) or physical interventions.”

Some qualifying conditions for medical cannabis under the Utah Medical Cannabis Program include:

  • A rare condition or disease affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S., as defined by federal law, and that is not adequately managed despite treatment attempts using conventional medications (other than opioids or opiates) or physical interventions.
  • A terminal illness when the patient’s life expectancy is less than six months
  • An illness requiring hospice care
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease
  • Autism
  • Cachexia, or wasting syndrome
  • Cancer
  • Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
  • Epilepsy or other seizure disorders
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Multiple sclerosis or persistent and debilitating muscle spasms
  • Ongoing and debilitating pain
  • Persistent nausea that is not significantly responsive to traditional treatment, except for nausea related to pregnancy, Cannabis-Induced Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, or Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that is being treated and monitored by a licensed health therapist and that has been diagnosed by a healthcare provider by the Veterans Administration and documented in the patient’s record OR has been diagnosed or confirmed by the evaluation by a psychiatrist, doctorate psychologist, a doctorate licensed clinical social worker, or a psychiatric APRN

If you don’t have one of the qualifying medical conditions listed, your certified physician can appeal to the Compassionate Use Board if they feel your condition can benefit from the use of medical marijuana.

After you meet with your qualified medical provider (QMP) registered with the state of Utah through Veriheal, go to id.utah.gov and create a Utah ID account. This account allows you to access different state applications all in one place. Here you’ll be able to start your application inside the electronic verification system (EVS). Your QMP will be able to issue your medical cannabis recommendation once your EVS profile is created. There’s a $15 application fee to send the application online to the Utah Department of Health (UDOH).

After the Utah Department of Health receives and reviews your application, there is a 15-day turnaround time from the date the application is submitted for approval or denial if the patient is 21 years of age or older. The Compassionate Use Board will review applications for patients under 21 years of age and adult patients without a qualifying condition. The turnaround time for those applications are 90 days or less from the date the application is submitted.

When the application is approved the Utah Department of Health will email your medical cannabis card. After receiving your digital card, you’ll be able to legally purchase medical cannabis products in Utah. To buy marijuana from a medical cannabis pharmacy, you need to have your cannabis card along with a valid photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport.

Along with having a qualifying medical condition, a patient applying for the medical cannabis program in Utah must prove their residency with a valid driver’s license or current state identification card. The annual card registration fee is $15 and must be paid when approved.

Getting a Utah medical marijuana card with Veriheal costs a total of $214. Your $199 fee with Veriheal covers your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation, with financing options. The state requires a $15 fee for registration.

Utah has set up a caregiver application process completely online, beginning with the registered patient designating a caregiver on their application. After a caregiver has been named, they must prove they are a Utah resident with a valid driver’s license or current state identification card. The caregiver must also undergo a background check to be approved for the Guardian Card. Once approved, a caregiver license fee of $68.25 must be paid. If the caregiver has two patients, the secondary license is only $15.

​​Utah has specific possession laws regarding medical cannabis, reporting a patient is not allowed “more than 113 grams of unprocessed cannabis (raw bud or flower in blister packs),” or “more than 20 grams of total composite THC in all other medicinal dosage forms.

Cultivation is not legal in Utah.

To renew your Utah 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.

Your first medical marijuana card in Utah will be valid for 90 days. Your second and third renewals are good for 6 months. After that, future renewals will be needed annually.

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.
