I have several qualifying conditions. Does that guarantee that I'll get my Delaware med card?
No. The law doesn’t obligate marijuana doctors in DE to approve patients for medical marijuana. Still, our MMJ doctors will most likely certify you if your health could benefit from medical cannabis.
How is the consultation done? Can I have a video call with the doctor?
Yes. Once you book your appointment, we’ll send you a secure link for your video call when the consultation time approaches. You’ll meet with your physician to discuss how medical cannabis could benefit your health–this generally takes 10-15 minutes. After your doctor approves, you’ll receive your certification via email. It’ll also be available from your Quick Med Cards dashboard.
What happens after I'm approved?
Getting your certification is just step one of getting your Delaware medical marijuana card. Next, you’ll need to complete your application on the state’s Medical Marijuana Portal.
When will I get my med card in the mail?
You’ll get your Delaware medical card in the mail once your application is approved.
Additionally, you can get a mobile ID, which you can access from your patient account on the Delaware Medical Marijuana Program Portal (BiotrackTHC).
How long is my med card valid for?
Your medical card could be valid for one (1), two (2), or three (3) years depending on the period you choose during your application.
I lost/destroyed my med card. How do I ask for a new one?
You should mail a replacement request to this address:
Medical Marijuana Program 417 Federal St. Dover, DE 19901
It costs $20 to replace your Delaware medical card.
Are there other fees I need to pay for?
