* Higher Possession Limits: Medical patients are allowed to possess twice as much cannabis as recreational users.
* Cultivation Rights: Medical cardholders can grow up to 12 plants if they live more than 25 miles from a dispensary, are too ill to travel, or if dispensaries don’t stock the products they need. Recreational users are limited to 6 plants and must also live over 25 miles away from a dispensary.

Nevada’s application fee for state registration is $50 for a one-year card or $100 for a two-year card. There are currently no fee waivers available for state registration fees. Patients are also responsible for the cost of their required doctor’s evaluation, available at a low cost through NuggMD with no risk to you, because you’re only billed if you’re approved for medical cannabis.
No. Health insurance will not cover the fees required to submit a medical marijuana application in the state of Nevada because cannabis is federally illegal. If federal law changes, this may impact how health insurers view medical marijuana use.
Registering and connecting with a licensed physician can be accomplished in as little as 15 minutes with NuggMD. Once your physician submits your approval, you can register and complete your application through Nevada’s state portal. The state generally responds to completed applications within 48 hours. Upon approval, you can print a temporary card and use it while waiting for your permanent card, which usually arrives within 3-7 days.
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 the doctor has provided your signed Attending Physician Statement. Once your signed Attending Physician Statement has been provided, 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.
