Cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), positive status for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), multiple sclerosis (MS), glaucoma, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or the treatment of these conditions, if the disease or the treatment results in severe, persistent, and intractable symptoms;
Post-traumatic stress disorder, provided the Department confirms the applicant is undergoing psychotherapy or counseling with a licensed mental health care provider; or
A disease or medical condition or its treatment that is chronic, debilitating, and produces one or more of the following intractable symptoms: cachexia or wasting syndrome; chronic pain; severe nausea; or seizures.

To become a “registered patient” with the Vermont Marijuana Registry you must complete the Registration Packet located in the Document Library. You will be responsible for completing most of the form. However, part of the form will need to be completed by your health care professional. Your health care professional must be licensed in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, or New York to complete the form.
You are also required to provide an electronic photograph of yourself for your Marijuana Registry Identification Card. Mail the completed form to the Vermont Marijuana Registry at the address provided on the form.
The Registry will process your application within 30 days after receiving a completed application. If your application is approved, you will be notified in writing and receive a Registry Identification Card mailed to the address provided on your application. If your application is denied, you will be notified in writing and will be able to appeal the denial.
