IS Medical Cannabis Right for You?

Maryland has access to a new healthcare option called medical cannabis. It's shown promise as a source of relief for patients with a variety of chronic and debilitating conditions, and its therapeutic applications are as versatile as its routes of administration. We invite you to learn more about whether medical cannabis is right for you. Start by consulting your licensed and registered healthcare provider.

Will I Need a Patient ID Card?

Registered Maryland patients with medical cannabis recommendations from their licensed and registered provider do not require a patient ID card. Once you're accepted into the program, you may acquire an ID card for $50, if you prefer to carry one while traveling. Replacement cards will cost $100.

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 qualifying conditions?

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
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
