Register with Maryland OneStop

The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission joined statewide licensing portal “Maryland OneStop”. Effective February 16, 2021, all licensing and registration forms will be available on the statewide licensing portal Maryland One Stop, including patient and caregiver applications, provider registrations and certifications, clinical director application, business license and registration applications, and cannabis agent registrations.  

Register with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Comission as a Patient or Caregiver on the Maryland OneStop Website

Patients and Caregivers should become very familiar with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission’s page on the Maryland OneStop website. The second step in obtaining your medical marijuana certification is to register with MMCC. In order to register, patients will need to have:

– a qualifying condition (see below)
– a government-issued identification card (such as a driver’s license or passport)
– a valid email address.

Additionally, you will be required to upload a passport size photo (from the shoulders up with a white background; no hats or glasses). This photo can be taken on any camera or cell phone and then cropped to the appropriate dimensions on the MMCC website.

Qualifying Health Conditions for a Maryland Medical Marijuana Card

Maryland law and the MMCC support the use of medical marijuana for the following conditions and symptoms:

– anxiety
– anorexia
– cachexia
– chronic pain
– depression
– glaucoma
– PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
– severe pain
– severe nausea
– seizures
– severe or persistent muscle spasms
– wasting syndrome
– any health condition that is severe for which other treatments have been ineffective (anxiety, depression, etc).e.

Obtain Your 16-Digit Maryland Cannabis Patient ID Number

After successfully registering on the MMCC website, you will receive a 16-digit Cannabis patient I.D. number in about 5-10 business days. There is no age limit for patients, but patients under the age of 18 are required to have a legal guardian or parent serve as their caregiver in order for them to obtain medical marijuana. In the case of patients under 18, both the patient and the caregiver (parent/guardian) will be required to obtain a certified number. After obtaining your number, you will be ready to see a medical marijuana physician in Maryland.

Get Your Medical Cannabis Patient ID Number First

After completing the MMCC registration process and obtaining a MMCC patient ID number, you are now ready to see a registered Maryland cannabis physician. Obtaining your number prior to your doctor visit means that you can go straight to the dispensary on the same day right after seeing the doctor. If you see the doctor first and then register on the MMCC website, you must wait to get your number from the MMCC before visiting a dispensary. It can take up to 10 business days to receive your ID from the state.
