Please send an email to support@www.nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue. Patients won’t receive a refund for failure to follow through with their certification process once the practitioner completes the certification requirements. It is the patient’s responsibility to complete their certification.

We want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, are the most important thing to us!

Nevada acknowledges cannabis reciprocity with all states. Unfortunately, no other states currently accept Nevada’s medical marijuana cards. To stay informed, we recommend checking with your destination state before you travel. Laws change, and each state has distinct rules about reciprocity.

Unfortunately, no. Nevada requires patients to present their Nevada driver’s license or Nevada state ID. Consult Nevada’s patient cardholder registry instructions for a detailed list of necessary documents. These documents are required to get a Nevada state medical marijuana card.
