What are Virginia'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. Take our free quiz to find out if you’re likely to qualify.
Virginia doesn’t have a set list of qualifying conditions. Instead, the decision is up to the practitioner. Currently, the law allows practitioners to issue written certifications for cannabis to “alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease determined by the practitioner to benefit from such use.”

Frequently asked. Frequently answered.
To qualify for a Virginia medical marijuana card, you must:
- have a valid government-issued ID proving you are a Virginia resident
- be of legal age or have a registered caregiver who is a parent, legal guardian, or registered agent assigned by your parent or legal guardian
- receive a medical cannabis recommendation from a registered physician
Virginia doesn’t have a set list of qualifying conditions. Instead, the decision is up to the practitioner. Currently, the law allows practitioners to issue written certifications for cannabis to “alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease determined by the practitioner to benefit from such use.”
Common qualifying conditions in Virginia include but aren’t limited to:
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Eating disorders
- Epilepsy
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Multiple Sclerosis
- PTSD
You might be! Unlike many other states, Virginia doesn’t have a set list of qualifying medical conditions. Rather, VA state law allows medical practitioners to issue MMJ certifications if they believe the use of cannabis may “alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease.”
Until adult-use sales begin in Virginia, a medical cannabis card is the only way to purchase cannabis in Virginia legally. Even after recreational cannabis is available, medical cannabis card holders can expect a range of benefits, including:
- exemption from the 21% recreational cannabis tax
- higher purchase limits
- increased legal protections
- access to a greater number of dispensaries and products.
Virginia no longer requires patients to register with the state before purchasing and using medical cannabis. Patients are only responsible for the cost of their medical evaluation. NuggMD offers low-cost Virginia medical cannabis evaluations, and there’s no risk because you receive a full refund if you aren’t approved for medical cannabis.
Since cannabis remains federally illegal, insurance will not pay for medical marijuana or the costs associated with obtaining a medical marijuana card in Virginia. This may change in the future if federal laws around cannabis are updated.
Getting a Virginia medical marijuana card with NuggMD can take as little as 15 minutes. Once you receive your Written Certification for the Use of Medical Cannabis from a licensed Virginia practitioner, you can start purchasing medical cannabis immediately.
A physical medical marijuana card is no longer required to purchase cannabis in Virginia. If you opt for the optional digital Verification of Written Certification, you can apply through the Cannabis Control Authority, which typically takes about 10 business days to process.
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.
Absolutely! You can see any practitioner you choose for your renewal evaluation. When you transfer to NuggMD, be sure to bring your medical records to help your friendly NuggMD practitioner provide a thorough and complete evaluation.
Traveling across state lines with cannabis is illegal under federal law, even if you have a Virginia medical marijuana card. However, 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.
You can use other valid government-issued IDs, but the department prefers a Virginia driver’s license or identification card.
