Get Your Maryland Medical Marijuana Card Online

To get a Maryland medical marijuana card, you must first fill out a secure medical intake form and complete a telehealth evaluation with an MCA-registered provider via MMJ.com.

Once approved, you will register online through the Maryland Cannabis Administration portal (via Maryland OneStop). After the state processes your application, you will receive your official patient registry number. You can instantly download a digital copy of your credentials or pay a $25 fee to receive a physical ID card in the mail.

An initial evaluation through MMJ.com costs a flat rate of $149.99. The Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) charges a separate $25 fee if you request a physical, hard-plastic patient identification card.

However, this $25 state card fee is entirely waived for patients who provide proof of active enrollment in Maryland Medicaid or Veterans Affairs (VA) health benefits.

While adult-use recreational cannabis is legal for individuals 21 and older, holding a valid Maryland medical certification offers explicit privileges including a **12% tax exemption**.

Medical patients pay 0% cannabis tax at checkout, saving 12% on every single purchase. Medical cardholders can legally grow up to 4 plants at home, whereas recreational users are strictly limited to 2 plants.

A Maryland patient registration is valid for **6 years** from the date of state issuance. However, under state law, **patients must complete an annual physician recertification** to keep their medical status active at the dispensary.

Your registration profile remains linked to your account for 6 years, but you must complete a brief doctor check-in every 12 months to maintain purchasing rights.

The standard statutory medical allotment allows a patient to purchase up to **120 grams of dried flower OR 36 grams of total THC in processed/infused products** per rolling 30-day period.

This is a combined limit tracked dynamically by the state's central system. If a provider determines your condition requires a higher dosage, they can submit a specialized waiver to increase your monthly limit.

Possession limits per COMAR 10.62 and Maryland Cannabis Administration.

Yes. Under the Maryland Cannabis Reform Act, registered medical cannabis patients are legally permitted to cultivate up to **4 cannabis plants indoors or outdoors per household**.

The plants must be grown at your primary residence, completely hidden from public view, and firmly secured against unauthorized access by minors. Recreational households are capped at a maximum of 2 plants.

No. **Maryland does not offer medical cannabis reciprocity and will not accept out-of-state medical cards at dispensary counters.**

Out-of-state visitors aged 21 and older may only buy cannabis as adult-use recreational customers, meaning they are bound by recreational possession caps and the standard 12% state cannabis tax.

No reciprocity per Maryland Cannabis Administration.
