Visit your licensed provider

Once you’ve registered, visit a doctor you have an ongoing relationship with to obtain a written certification. Only licensed medical practitioners registered with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission can issue written certifications to patients.

Research the right treatment options

Educate yourself on the products available in Maryland. Look for medical cannabis grown and processed in hygienic facilities. Understand the difference between Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid plant classifications, and the concentrations of cannabinoids: THC vs. CBD vs. CBG vs. CBN, to name a few.

Purchase products from licensed dispensaries

After you’ve registered with the state, received certification from your doctor, and familiarized yourself with Maryland’s cannabis products, you’ll be ready to visit your local licensed dispensary. Choose a dispensary with a specialized and compassionate staff—good listeners who will work with you and connect you with the right treatment. Remember that because insurance is currently not accepted, medical cannabis is an out-of-pocket expense.

How do I become a caregiver?

Caregivers may be appointed by registered patients with a provider recommendation. If you’re selected by a patient, you must complete the state’s application on the MMCC website. Each caregiver may provide care for up to five qualifying patients.

What are the conditions medical cannabis is approved for in Maryland?

Maryland law allows licensed and registered medical practitioners to recommend cannabis for any condition that is considered “severe,” for which other medical treatments have been proven ineffective, and whose symptoms “reasonably can be expected to be relieved” by the medical use of cannabis.

Physicians may recommend cannabis for patients with a chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition that causes:

Severe loss of appetite
Cachexia (wasting syndrome)
Severe, debilitating, or chronic pain
Severe nausea
Seizures
Severe and persistent muscle spasms
Glaucoma
