Maryland – Patient FAQ
Got Questions?
Here you’ll find the answers to common questions people have when signing up.
What's the process of getting a recommendation?
Before setting up an appointment with us, you will need to register with the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA). Once registered, fill out our form here, click next, and follow the easy step-by-step process on our website to see a medical marijuana provider and get certified.
Are there other fees I need to pay for?
Our prices include the State Paperwork Fee that other doctors charge separately. The state of MD charges patients a $25 fee for the physical med card, meanwhile, the digital medical card is free. These fees are separate from our included services.
What happens after I'm approved?
Once approved for a med card, you may print your temporary Patient ID Card from your account on the Maryland OneStop Portal and go to a dispensary. Find out more about the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA).
