Qualifying NJ residents must first be diagnosed with one of the debilitating medical conditions that are listed by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission. All patients must be evaluated by a state-licensed physician and be at least 18 years of age or accompanied by a parent or guardian. Qualifying patients also must have a New Jersey residency.

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Anxiety
• Cancer
• Chronic pain
• Dysmenorrhea
• Glaucoma
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Chron’s disease
• Intractable skeletal muscular spasticity
• Migraine
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Muscular dystrophy
• Opioid use disorder
• Positive Status for HIV or AIDs
• PTSD
• Seizure disorders, including epilepsy
• Terminal Illness Requiring End-Of-Life Care
• Tourette Syndrome

The list of debilitating medical conditions is maintained by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC). According to the latest revision to the state’s medical cannabis law, the NJ CRC can add to the list of qualifying conditions. If your condition isn’t listed, your best course of action is to petition the NJ CRC to add it to the list.

New Jersey medical cannabis patients have access to both medical and recreational dispensaries and are given priority at dispensaries with both medical and recreational sales. The medical menus at dispensaries that sell to both medical and recreational users tend to be larger.

The purchase limit for medical patients is also higher in New Jersey. Recreational users can purchase up to 1 ounce of cannabis at a time, while medical users can purchase up to 3 ounces.

NJ has also done away with taxes on medical cannabis, so medical patients will save on tax compared to adult-use consumers (which can really help in a state with some of the highest cannabis prices in the nation).

It only costs $149 to get a New Jersey medical cannabis evaluation with NuggMD, and there’s no risk because patients who don’t qualify for the program will get their evaluation for free! After receiving their recommendation, medical cannabis patients can get a digital state registration card for free, or a physical card for $10.

Nearly all insurance companies will not cover the cost of medical cannabis because it’s federally illegal. This may change in the near future. New Jersey (A 3511/S 309) would require insurance and worker’s compensation coverage for medical cannabis under many circumstances. Both bills are pending in committee.

If approved, your physician’s recommendation will be submitted within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes sooner. It can take up to three weeks for your application to be processed by the state and your medical cannabis card to be mailed. That said, applications usually take 7-10 business days to process.

With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for your evaluation if you are approved. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

You’ll only be charged if you’re approved for your medical marijuana certification. If not, your evaluation is free! If you sign up and pay for your evaluation, but then cancel before your evaluation, there is a small $10 fee for the payment processing. You can also change your mind after your evaluation if you wish and request a refund, but you must do so before your certification has been submitted to the state. Once you’ve been certified, a refund for services will no longer be available. Please send an email to support@nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue. We want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, are the most important thing to us! Once a refund has been initiated, please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer back to the card you used for the transaction. A refund is no longer available more than 30 days after the date of your evaluation. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.

Yes! You can see any New Jersey state-licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice nurse participating in the state’s medical cannabis program to get your medical marijuana renewal evaluation. All NuggMD practitioners are licensed in the state for which they provide evaluations and have acquired all state-required cannabis training and certifications.

This depends on the state to which you’re traveling. Each state has different rules regarding reciprocity, and some don’t allow it at all. Check with your destination state to learn more.

Yes. However, if the ID or driver’s license you provide for proof of identity isn’t issued by New Jersey or doesn’t reflect your current address, you’ll need to provide proof of residency.
