West Virginia medical marijuana card

West Virginia medical marijuana card evaluation online

West Virginia's medical program, run by the Office of Medical Cannabis, is the only legal way to buy cannabis in the state because adult-use remains illegal. A registered practitioner certifies your condition, and you apply for an ID card. Dry leaf and flower are allowed for vaporizing, though smoking isn't, and supplies are limited to a 30-day amount.

  • $149 new patients
  • $139 renewals
  • Phone or video

State fees are paid to the state, not to us.
