How to be a medical cannabis caregiver in Delaware

In the state of Delaware, a caregiver is defined as a person selected by the patient authorized to possess, obtain, and assist in dispensing their medical marijuana treatment.

To qualify as a designated caregiver, you must register with the state and complete a background check. Caregivers may have up to 5 patients, but each one requires a separate application and card. The caregiver is also allowed to be a medical patient if their medical marijuana card application is completed and approved.

For patients under 18 with a qualifying medical condition and a physician’s recommendation for medical cannabis, a caregiver application is required.

Learn how to become a Delaware caregiver.

How to register for a med card in Delaware

Gather all necessary medical documents and make an appointment with your doctor.

Before visiting the doctor, head to Delaware’s medical marijuana online portal. If you’re visiting a physician who isn’t registered for cannabis recommendations with the state, you’ll want to print out their portion of the application. If you require a caregiver, fill out that portion of the application as well.

If you’re approved by your licensed physician for medical cannabis treatment, fill out the rest of your application and submit it to the state either digitally or by mail. Make sure to submit your nonrefundable $50 fee.

You’ll be notified within 45 days of the state receiving the application of your status. If approved, your Delaware medical marijuana card is valid for 1 year.

Once you’ve been certified, 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!
