A medical marijuana card is the only legal means to access cannabis in Pennsylvania. If adult-use sales kick off in the state one day, having a med card will still have added benefits. Med patients have lower taxes, increased purchase limits, and heightened legal protections.

NuggMD offers a no-risk Pennsylvania medical card evaluation for one of the best rates you can find. Even better, if you don’t qualify, your evaluation is free. MMJ patients are also responsible for Pennsylvania’s $50 state registration fee after the evaluation.

Unfortunately, no. Cannabis is still federally illegal. Most insurance companies don’t want to be liable on a state level for cannabis products. As a result, none currently cover the cost of cannabis or applying to the program.

You can get a Pennsylvania medical card evaluation through NuggMD today. However, the state can take up to three weeks to approve your application and supply your card in the mail.

With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for the evaluation if the state gives approval. Ensuring access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor is our top priority, and we believe the cost of the evaluation should never be a barrier to getting the care you need.

You’ll only be charged if you’re approved for your medical marijuana certification. If not, 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. You can also change your mind after your evaluation if you wish and request a refund, but you must do so before your certification has been submitted to the state. Once you’ve been certified, a refund for services will no longer be available. 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. If you’re stuck or having trouble completing your certification, please reach out to customer service and our agents will help you through the process. 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. A refund is no longer available more than 30 days after the date of your evaluation. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.

Absolutely! You can still use NuggMD’s service to renew even if you used a different physician last year. You have the right to see any cannabis doctor that you choose, as long as they’re certified in the state.

The answer relies on the regulations of the state you’re visiting. Each state has its own set of rules about medical cannabis  reciprocity. Some states only accept patients from specific areas. Others might cater to individuals with specific medical conditions. To get more insights, research the medical marijuana program of your destination state. Presently, seven states, D.C. and Puerto Rico, accept Pennsylvania medical marijuana cards.

No. You must possess a Pennsylvania driver’s license or state ID card to get a medical card. Refer to the state’s patient guide for a detailed list of required documents.

As long as you’re a PA medical cannabis patient, you can purchase weed at any Erie dispensary, like Sunnyside and RISE dispensaries.

Whether in Erie or another PA locale, medical cannabis patients are entitled to purchase a maximum of “192 medical marijuana units” every 90 days. A “unit” translates to 3.5 grams of medical cannabis flower, 1 gram of medical cannabis concentrates, or 100 milligrams of THC-infused products like tinctures, topicals, oils, and capsules.

Pennsylvania doesn’t allow marijuana delivery services for either medical or recreational purposes. However, medical patients can take advantage of curbside pickup at licensed dispensaries in Erie, secure transportation from their homes to the dispensary, or designate a caregivers to pick up and deliver their cannabis.

There is NO TAX on dispensary purchases by medical cannabis patients. It’s one of the most notable advantages of having a PA medical marijuana card.
