Having a medical marijuana card in New Jersey offers several key benefits:

• Tax Savings: Medical cannabis patients are exempt from paying taxes on their cannabis purchases.

• Priority Access: Medical patients receive priority service at dispensaries that offer both medical and recreational sales.

Registering for medical cannabis in New Jersey is free for a digital card, or $10 for a physical NJ medical card. Patients are also responsible for the cost of a state-required medical evaluation, available through NuggMD for the guaranteed lowest price of $98. And with NuggMD, you only pay if you’re approved.

Nearly all insurance companies will not cover the cost of medical cannabis because it’s federally illegal. This may change in the near future. New Jersey (A 3511/S 309) would require insurance and worker’s compensation coverage for medical cannabis under many circumstances. Both bills are pending in committee.

Getting a New Jersey medical marijuana card with NuggMD can take as little as 15 minutes. If approved, your physician’s recommendation will be submitted within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes sooner. It typically takes the state 7-10 business days to process your application and mail your medical cannabis card.

Yes! You can see any New Jersey state-licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice nurse participating in the state’s medical cannabis program to get your medical marijuana renewal evaluation. All NuggMD practitioners are licensed in the state for which they provide evaluations and have acquired all state-required cannabis training and certifications.

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.

Traveling across state lines with cannabis is illegal under federal law, even if you have a New Jersey 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.
