What are Washington'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. Take our free quiz to find out if you’re likely to qualify.

Frequently asked. Frequently answered.

Recreational cannabis is legal for use in Washington. To qualify for a medical marijuana card, you must:

  • be at least 18 years of age (minors can qualify with authorization from a parent or legal guardian and a healthcare provider).
  • have one of the state-qualifying medical conditions
  • receive a physician’s certification for one of the state-qualifying medical conditions

To qualify for a medical marijuana card in Washington, you must be diagnosed with one of the following terminal or debilitating conditions:

  • Cancer,
  • Chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis.
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Diseases, including anorexia, which result in nausea, vomiting, wasting, appetite loss, cramping, seizures, muscle spasms, or spasticity
  • Epilepsy
  • Glaucoma
  • Hepatitis C with debilitating nausea or intractable pain
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
  • Intractable pain
  • Multiple sclerosis, or other seizure disorder, or spasticity disorders.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Traumatic brain injury.

Washington does not acknowledge mental health disorders as qualifying conditions for medical cannabis.

Adding to the list of qualifying conditions authorized for medical cannabis treatment in Washington is not allowed. An addition to the list would require a change to the law.

Patients who register with the state’s voluntary medical marijuana database receive additional benefits, including:

  • Access to medical-only dispensaries
  • Ability to purchase three times the recreational limit
  • Exemption from sales and excise taxes
  • Access to high-THC products unavailable to recreational users
  • Legal ability to cultivate their own plants

A designated provider in Washington is an individual aged 21 or older who assists a qualifying patient with purchasing, providing, or growing medical cannabis.

To designate someone, inform your healthcare practitioner during your appointment so they can also issue an authorization form for your provider. Both forms must be signed and printed on tamper-resistant paper. The designated provider must be entered into the medical cannabis database and receive a recognition card. ​

Once you are approved for medical cannabis in Washington, you can pick up your medical marijuana card from a medically endorsed cannabis store, which can charge anywhere from $1 to $10. It costs an additional $1 to register in the state’s medical cannabis database, which is completely optional for all patients other than minors.

Patients are also responsible for the cost of a medical evaluation. NuggMD offers low-cost Washington medical cannabis evaluations, and there’s no risk because you’re only billed if you’re approved for the use of medical cannabis.

Since cannabis is still federally illegal, health insurance doesn’t currently cover the costs of medical cannabis treatment. Cannabis legislation is constantly changing, and Washington may revise this status in the future.

Once you are approved by a qualified medical practitioner, you’ll receive your Washington medical marijuana certification via U.S. mail within 7 to 10 days. Once you receive this form, you can visit a dispensary to register with the state and receive your tax benefit.

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.

You can see any practitioner you choose for your renewal. If you have approval for compassionate renewals, you can complete your renewal via telemedicine.

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.

Yes. According to WAC 314-55-150, the following forms of identification are acceptable to verify a person’s age for the purpose of purchasing cannabis:

  • (a) Driver’s license, instruction permit, or identification card of any state, or province of Canada, from a U.S. territory or the District of Columbia, or “identicard” issued by the Washington state department of licensing per RCW 46.20.117;
  • (b) United States armed forces identification card issued to active duty, reserve, and retired personnel and the personnel’s dependents, which may include an embedded, digital signature in lieu of a visible signature;
  • (c) Passport;
  • (d) Merchant Marine identification card issued by the United States Coast Guard; and
  • (e) Enrollment card issued by the governing authority of a federally recognized Indian tribe located in Washington, if the enrollment card incorporates security features comparable to those implemented by the department of licensing for Washington driver’s licenses.

The identification document is not acceptable to verify age if expired.
