FAQs About Medical Cannabis in Connecticut
To get a Connecticut medical marijuana card, you must be a Connecticut resident, be 18 or older (minors need a caregiver and two physician certifications), and be certified by a Connecticut-licensed physician or APRN for one of the state’s qualifying conditions. Connecticut dropped its $100 state registration fee in 2023, so your only cost is your evaluation.
A NuggMD medical cannabis evaluation in Connecticut is $179.
Connecticut medical patients can shop at any licensed medical or hybrid (medical and recreational) dispensary in the state, and many offer delivery and drive-thru pickup. The Department of Consumer Protection keeps a full list of licensed dispensaries on its website.
NuggMD patients can pay using their FSA. Insurance companies aren’t required to cover the cost of medical cannabis products or the state evaluation, but it’s possible that insurance companies begin to cover more costs for patients now that medical cannabis has been rescheduled to Schedule 3.
Most Connecticut patients receive their medical marijuana card by email within 30 days of their physician’s certification. Once you get it, you can start shopping at Connecticut dispensaries right away.
With NuggMD, you get your money back if you aren’t approved. For any other questions about NuggMD’s refund policy, contact our customer care team for support. 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.
Yes. You can use a non-expired ID from another state, but you’ll also need proof of Connecticut residency, such as a utility bill, paystub, or Medicaid statement. It must be dated within the last 90 days, be computer-generated (not handwritten or typed), and show your name and Connecticut address, according to the Department of Consumer Protection.
No. Connecticut medical patients are exempt from the 6.35% state sales tax, the 3% municipal cannabis tax, and the THC-based cannabis excise tax, which recreational buyers pay on every purchase.
Yes. Connecticut medical patients 18 and older can grow up to six plants (three mature and three immature) at home, with a limit of 12 plants per household. Adults 21 and older without a card can grow the same amount, so a medical card mainly lets you grow starting at 18.
No. Connecticut doesn’t recognize medical cannabis cards from other states. Adults 21 and older can still buy from recreational dispensaries, and some other states do recognize Connecticut medical cards, so check your destination’s rules before traveling.
