Frequently asked. Frequently answered.
To qualify for a med card in Maine, you must:
- be at least 18 years old (patients under 18 will need to appoint a parent or legal guardian as a caregiver)
- be a Maine resident with valid state-issued ID
- be certified for medical cannabis use by a qualified practitioner in Maine
Maine allows physicians to recommend medical cannabis for any patient they think it may benefit.
Common qualifying conditions in Maine include:
- Cancer
- Chronic pain
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- Hepatitis C
- HIV/AIDS
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Nausea
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Maine allows licensed medical practitioners to recommend medical cannabis to any patient they feel will benefit from it. If your practitioner thinks medical cannabis will be an effective treatment for you, you’ll be eligible for Maine’s medical program.
When a patient registers for Maine’s medical cannabis program, they can designate an immediate family member or member of their household as a caregiver. Maine also allows caregivers to operate as a business, cultivating cannabis and providing care for multiple patients. These caregivers do not need to be related to or live with the patients they care for, and they do need to register with the state.
All caregivers in Maine must be over 21, a resident of Maine, and must not have been convicted of a disqualifying offense.
Maine has a number of key benefits for medical cannabis patients. Patients are able to access more dispensaries than recreational consumers, including the state’s robust network of registered cannabis caregivers. Medical cannabis patients are also exempt from the state’s 10% excise tax on cannabis sales.
Additionally, medical cannabis patients are allowed to cultivate double the number of mature plants (6) as recreational cannabis users (3).
Last but not least, Maine affords key protections to medical cannabis patients that aren’t available to adult-use consumers, including protections against discrimination in the workplace, at school, and in renting their apartments. They are also protected against discrimination when being considered for organ transplants.
Maine does not charge a state registration fee for your medical card, so you are only responsible for the cost of your practitioner’s evaluation. NuggMD offers low-cost, risk-free Maine medical cannabis evaluations: if you aren’t approved for medical cannabis, you get a full refund.
Both adult use and medical purchasers are subject to a 2.5 ounce purchase limit in Maine.
You can purchase medical marijuana with one of Maine’s many caregivers, a caregiver storefront, or an adult-use retailer that is also licensed to sell medical cannabis products.
In the U.S. cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, even for medical purposes. As a result, nearly all health insurance companies will not cover the cost of medical cannabis.
You can see a practitioner in as little as 15 minutes with NuggMD. If your practitioner recommends medical cannabis, they’ll send a copy of your certification to the dispensary of your choice.
With NuggMD, if you’re not approved, you’ll be refunded automatically. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.
If you’re not approved for your medical marijuana certification, 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.
Once you’ve been approved and issued your certification, 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. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.
Yes! In Maine, any state-licensed MD, DO, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner can recommend medical cannabis. All of NuggMD’s medical practitioners are licensed in the state where they practice and meet all state requirements to recommend medical cannabis.
Some states do recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards through reciprocity agreements. Before traveling, it’s important to check the medical marijuana laws in your destination state to see if they accept out-of-state cards.
However, traveling across state lines with cannabis is illegal under federal law, even if you have a valid Maine medical marijuana card.
