What are Maryland’s qualifying conditions?
Each state has its own set of “qualifying conditions” for medical cannabis, and some don’t require medical proof that you have it.
If you don’t see your condition listed, you may still qualify under a related condition or symptom. And there’s no risk to you: if you aren’t approved by your NuggMD practitioner, you get your money back.
Take our free quiz to find out if you’re likely to qualify.
A medical marijuana certification may be issued if the qualifying patient has a debilitating or chronic disease that causes:
- Cachexia
- Wasting syndrome
- Anorexia
- Severe or chronic pain
- Severe nausea
- Seizures
- Severe or persistent muscle spasms
- Glaucoma
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- A chronic medical condition which is severe and for which other treatments have been ineffective

FAQs About Medical Cannabis in Maryland
Yes, Maryland allows patients to complete the entire medical marijuana process online through the state’s OneStop portal. You’ll need a valid written certification from a registered provider. NuggMD connects you with Maryland-licensed practitioners online in as little as 15 minutes, so you can complete your consultation without leaving home.
A NuggMD medical cannabis evaluation in Maryland is $119.
Maryland charges patients a $25 registration fee, and patients are responsible for the cost of a doctor’s evaluation. With NuggMD, your evaluation is $119 and covers a one-year certification, with no surprise charges and a full refund if you aren’t approved.
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.
NuggMD connects you with a Maryland-licensed provider online in as little as 15 minutes, so you can kick off your Maryland application right away. The state can take up to 30 business days to approve your application, but many patients are approved sooner.
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, after your application is approved by the MCA, you can print a temporary digital ID card that can be used to purchase medical cannabis at licensed Maryland dispensaries while you wait for your physical card to arrive.

- Federal, state, or local government mail issued by the state of Maryland (i.e. Social Security, social services)
