Get approved today for a medical cannabis card in Minnesota, 100% online.

You must be a Minnesota resident to become a medical marijuana patient in the state. You must also be diagnosed with a qualifying condition by a Minnesota-licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse.

Qualifying conditions in Minnesota now include any condition recommended, approved, or authorized by a person’s health care practitioner. Common qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Minnesota include but aren’t limited to:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Autism
• Cancer
• Chronic Pain
• Glaucoma
• HIV/AIDS
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Seizures
• Muscle Spasms (including those caused by conditions like Multiple Sclerosis)
• Terminal illness, with a probable life expectancy of less than one year.

Minnesota no longer limits the conditions for which a doctor can recommend medical cannabis.

Minnesota medical marijuana patients can access exclusive benefits unavailable to recreational consumers. Medical card holders get support from a qualified pharmacist who can answer their healthcare and cannabis questions and ensure they understand possible interactions with their current medications and treatment plan. Additionally, while adult-use consumers have a 2-ounce possession limit, medical patients can purchase up to 450 grams per 30 days as permitted by their doctor.

Minnesota does not charge a state registration fee for your medical card, so patients are only responsible for the cost of the required doctor’s evaluation. NuggMD offers low-cost Minnesota medical cannabis evaluations, and there’s no risk because you get a full refund for your evaluation if you aren’t approved for medical cannabis.

Currently, health insurance does not cover the cost of medical marijuana in Minnesota. Since cannabis remains federally illegal, insurance will not pay for medical marijuana or the costs associated with obtaining a medical marijuana card. This may change in the future if federal laws around cannabis are updated.

It can take Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management up to 30 days to process your medical marijuana card application. You can start the process by getting your doctor’s evaluation through NuggMD in as little as 15 minutes, with no appointment needed. Our doctors are standing by from 8am to 10pm daily, including weekends.

Yes! You have the right to renew your medical marijuana recommendation with any practitioner you see fit. You can schedule a same-day appointment with a Minnesota state-licensed NuggMD medical marijuana doctor any time between 8am and 10pm daily. If you do choose to renew with a different provider, make sure you bring your medical records and full history, as your evaluation will need to be thorough. 

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.

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.
