Get Your Connecticut Medical Marijuana Card

If you’re a regular cannabis user in Connecticut, getting a medical marijuana card may help reduce your overall cannabis costs.

Medical marijuana products purchased through Connecticut’s Medical Marijuana Program by registered qualifying patients and caregivers are exempt from cannabis taxes. Adult-use cannabis purchases are subject to applicable state cannabis taxes, which increase the total purchase price.

Cannabis prices vary by product type, potency, package size, retailer, and market conditions. Because prices change over time, there is no fixed amount that every patient will save. However, medical patients may reduce costs through tax savings and any available dispensary discounts or promotions.

Effective Oct. 1, 2026, Connecticut will replace the THC-based statewide cannabis tax with a flat 10.75% tax on gross receipts from cannabis sales. Any savings estimate should account for the current tax structure and updated product prices.

In Connecticut, holding a medical card is more beneficial than opting for recreational use. Not only does it save money, but it also opens up a broader spectrum of products, strains, and enhanced legal protections.

As a cardholder, you can possess up to 5 ounces versus the 1.5 ounces allowed for recreational users.

The card also grants access to highly potent products, diverse THC and CBD ratios, and more options for edibles, concentrates, topicals, and tinctures. Moreover, your CT med card grants you a degree of protection from job discrimination. Most importantly, you will have access to guidance from medical professionals.

In order to get a medical card in Connecticut, you must first consult with a Connecticut-licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) who is treating you for a qualifying medical condition. Connecticut allows these providers to evaluate and certify eligible patients through telehealth.

If your provider certifies you, they will initiate your application electronically. You then complete your portion through the DCP Medical Marijuana Program in BizNet by reviewing your information, uploading proof of identity and Connecticut residency, and completing the required attestations. DCP will email your medical marijuana registration certificate after it reviews and approves the application.

Since Jan. 1, 2026, eligible adults may also receive a one-time, 90-day temporary certification from a licensed dispensary pharmacist after an in-person assessment. This temporary option is not available to patients under 18 or to patients seeking certification for glaucoma.

Connecticut eliminated patient and caregiver Medical Marijuana Program registration fees on July 1, 2023. The state does not currently charge a registration fee, although patients may still pay the fee charged by their certifying health care provider.

Connecticut does not recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards. Visiting patients cannot use an out-of-state medical marijuana card to access Connecticut’s Medical Marijuana Program because standard patient registration is limited to Connecticut residents.
