Minnesota medical marijuana patients can access exclusive benefits unavailable to recreational consumers. Medical card holders get support from a qualified pharmacist who can answer their healthcare and cannabis questions and ensure they understand possible interactions with their current medications and treatment plan. While adult-use consumers have a 2-ounce possession limit, medical patients can purchase up to 450 grams per 30 days as permitted by their doctor.

It costs just $139 to get your Minnesota medical cannabis card with NuggMD.

For now, no. Some states are working on legislation that would allow insurance companies to cover the cost of cannabis products. However, marijuana is still federally illegal, so most insurance companies won’t consider covering medical marijuana until it’s finally legalized on a federal level.

While your NuggMD evaluation can be completed quickly, it can take the state of Minnesota up to 30 days to process your medical marijuana card. That’s why it’s best to start the process as soon as possible. Our doctors are standing by from 8am to 10pm daily, including weekends.

With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for your evaluation if you are approved. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

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@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. 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.

Yes! You have the right to renew your medical marijuana recommendation with any practitioner you see fit. You can schedule a same-day appointment with a Minnesota state-licensed NuggMD medical marijuana doctor any time between 8am and 10pm daily. If you do choose to renew with a different provider, make sure you bring your medical records and full history, as your evaluation will need to be thorough. 

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, but if you don’t have a government-issued ID that reflects your current Minnesota address, you’ll need to provide other proof of residency in the state.
