Frequently asked. Frequently answered.

Qualifying Massachusetts residents must first be diagnosed with a qualifying condition. All patients must be evaluated by a state-licensed physician and be 18 or older or a minor with an adult caregiver. Qualifying patients also must have proof of residency. Probationers and parolees may be able to use medical marijuana if the conditions of their release allow for it.

Massachusetts allows healthcare providers to recommend cannabis for any debilitating medical condition they believe may benefit from the use of cannabis. Common qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Massachusetts include:

  • Cancer
  • Glaucoma
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Hepatitis C
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)

You might if you have a debilitating condition. It will be the practitioner’s responsibility to determine whether your condition qualifies as “debilitating.” The state defines “debilitating” as “causing weakness, cachexia, wasting syndrome, intractable pain, or nausea, or impairing strength or ability, and progressing to such an extent that one or more of a patient’s major life activities is substantially limited.”

Obtaining a medical cannabis card in Massachusetts offers several benefits over recreational use. Cardholders enjoy:

  • up to 20% tax savings,
  • higher purchase and possession limits,
  • access to a wide variety of products that may not be available to recreational consumers,
  • priority service,
  • exclusive discounts at many dispensaries,
  • access to medical cannabis in states that recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards.

Massachusetts law provides some protections for medical cardholders that aren’t available to recreational consumers. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees using medical cannabis to treat disabilities. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t be fired for cannabis use. It depends on the employer’s policies and the nature of your job.

Massachusetts does not charge a state registration fee for your medical card, so you are only responsible for the cost of a medical evaluation. NuggMD offers low-cost, risk-free Massachusetts medical cannabis evaluations: you’re approved for medical cannabis or your money back.

Not usually. Marijuana is still a Federal Schedule 1 drug, so most insurance companies won’t pay for it. A few years ago, the state introduced a pair of bills, H.1143 and S.649, that would have allowed insurance companies to reimburse for cannabis, but the bills didn’t pass.

After your online consultation and approval by the state, you can download a temporary medical card for immediate use while you wait for your physical card to arrive, typically within 7-14 business days. The state can approve your application in as little as a day but can take up to 60 days. NuggMD streamlines the process by connecting you with licensed physicians for same-day evaluations, making it easier to start your treatment promptly.

With NuggMD, if you’re not approved get your money back, 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, the state allows adults 21 and over to purchase cannabis for recreational use. However, having a medical card offers benefits like tax exemptions, higher possession limits, and access to a broader range of products and medical-only dispensaries. NuggMD can help you obtain your medical card online, providing a convenient way to access these advantages.

No, smoking medical cannabis in a vehicle is illegal in Massachusetts, regardless of your patient status. The law prohibits the consumption of cannabis in any form in public places. It also specifically bans open containers of cannabis in the passenger area of a car. Violating these laws can result in fines and other penalties.

Yes, medical cannabis patients can own a firearm in Massachusetts. Under state law, medical cannabis patients can obtain a Firearm Identification (FID) card or License to Carry (LTC) if they meet all other eligibility requirements. However, federal law prohibits firearm possession by individuals who use controlled substances, including cannabis. This legal conflict means that while state law permits gun ownership for medical cannabis patients, they may still face federal restrictions.

In Massachusetts, the decision to recommend medical marijuana is at the physician’s discretion. You should discuss your medical history and any symptoms or conditions that you believe cannabis could help relieve with your physician. Most importantly, be honest and thorough.

Absolutely! You have the right to see whomever you choose for your medical marijuana evaluation, so long as the practitioner is a Massachusetts-licensed physician, physician assistant, or certified nurse practitioner that has registered with the state as a Certifying Healthcare Provider. 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.

No, Massachusetts doesn’t recognize medical cannabis cards from other states. Out-of-state patients cannot buy medical cannabis from Massachusetts dispensaries. However, adults 21 and over can legally purchase cannabis for recreational use without a medical card. ​

While Massachusetts doesn’t accept out-of-state med cards, some medical cannabis states may recognize a Massachusetts medical card. Check with your destination state for more details.

You must have a Massachusetts state ID and proof of residency to get an MA med card.

Massachusetts does not accept out-of-state medical cards, but visiting patients 21 and older are allowed to purchase and possess up to one ounce of cannabis. Keep in mind that transporting cannabis over state lines is strictly prohibited even if you have a valid Massachusetts medical card.
