What are Virginia's qualifying conditions?
Each state has its own set of “qualifying conditions” for medical cannabis, and some don’t require medical proof that you have it.
If you don’t see your condition listed, you may still qualify under a related condition or symptom. And there’s no risk to you: if you aren’t approved by your NuggMD practitioner, you get your money back.
Take our free quiz to find out if you’re likely to qualify.
Virginia doesn’t have a set list of qualifying conditions. Instead, the decision is up to the practitioner. Currently, the law allows practitioners to issue written certifications for cannabis to “alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease determined by the practitioner to benefit from such use.”

FAQs About Medical Cannabis in Virginia
Qualifying for a medical marijuana card in Virginia is simple: bring a valid state ID and get a recommendation from a registered provider. NuggMD makes that second step easy, with online evaluations from the comfort of home. Patients under 18 need a registered caregiver, like a parent or legal guardian.
A NuggMD medical cannabis evaluation in Virginia is $179.
NuggMD patients can pay using their FSA. Insurance companies aren’t required to cover the cost of medical cannabis products or the state evaluation, but it’s possible that insurance companies begin to cover more costs for patients now that medical cannabis has been rescheduled to Schedule 3.
Getting a Virginia medical marijuana card with NuggMD can take as little as 15 minutes. Once you receive your Written Certification for the Use of Medical Cannabis from a licensed Virginia practitioner, you can start purchasing medical cannabis immediately.
A physical VA medical card is no longer required to purchase cannabis in the state. If you opt for the optional digital Verification of Written Certification, you can apply through the Cannabis Control Authority, which typically takes about 10 business days to process, but you do not need to wait for this optional verification to arrive to begin shopping at dispensaries.
With NuggMD, you get your money back if you aren’t approved. For any other questions about NuggMD’s refund policy, contact our customer care team for support. 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.
You can use other valid government-issued IDs, but the department prefers a Virginia driver’s license or identification card.
No, you will not be added to a public database for receiving your VA medical card. Virginia doesn’t have a public patient registry or even a state application. Your provider issues your certification through the Cannabis Control Authority’s secure portal, and only you, your provider, and the dispensary that scans your QR code can see it.
Once you have your Virginia written certification, you can shop in person at a licensed medical dispensary or have your medicine delivered right to your home or workplace. Bring your certification (digital or printed) and a government-issued ID, and the dispensary will scan your QR code to get you checked out.
