  • While cannabis is legal in Nevada for adults 21 and older, holding a medical marijuana card has its benefits. 

     

    Cardholders do not have to pay the 10% retail excise tax, and can purchase more than twice the amount of flower, concentrate, and edibles as non-cardholders. Cannabis cultivation is legal for adults 21 and older but only if they are farther than 25 miles away from a dispensary and only up to 6 plants. Medical marijuana card holders can grow up to 12 plants if they are farther than 25 miles away from a dispensary, are too ill or unable to drive, or the dispensary does not carry what they need.

  • An evaluation for a Nevada medical marijuana card with NuggMD only costs $79. Registration through the state costs $50 for a card that lasts one year and $100 for a card that lasts two. There is currently no fee waiver for the state fees.

  • No. Health insurance will not cover the fees required to submit a medical marijuana application in the state of Nevada because cannabis is federally illegal. If federal law changes, this may impact how health insurers view medical marijuana use.

Creating a profile and filling out the application through Nevada’s state portal should take no longer. Once a completed application is submitted, a response from the state can take up to 48 hours. If approved you’ll receive a temporary card that you can print and use until you receive an official card within 3-7 days.

  • 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.

  • We provide a full refund within 30 days if you have not received your signed Attending Physician Statement. 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 are 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, is the most important thing to us! Once a refund has been initiated, please allow for 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.
