Get Your Minnesota Medical Marijuana Card From Real State-Licensed Doctors

You need a few documents to apply for a medical marijuana card, and most people already have everything required. The state keeps the process simple, requiring only proof of identity and residency once you receive your doctor certification.

• A valid government-issued photo ID showing your current address (driver’s license, state ID card, or passport).
• Your doctor certification from us, which you’ll receive via email immediately after your 5 minute online appointment.
• An email address to create your account on the Medical Cannabis Registry.
• A phone or computer with a camera to upload a photo of your ID during registration.

You don’t need medical records, proof of diagnosis paperwork, or any additional documents beyond your ID. We handle the medical certification part during your appointment, and the state registration only asks for basic identifying information you can provide in minutes.

You qualify for a medical marijuana card if you’re 18 or older, live in the state, and have a diagnosed condition that causes chronic symptoms. Most patients with ongoing pain, anxiety, PTSD, or other chronic conditions get approved.

• Residency – You need proof you live here like a state ID, driver’s license, or utility bill showing your current address.
• Age – You must be 18 or older, though minors can qualify with a caregiver.
• Qualifying Condition – The state approves chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, anxiety, and many other ongoing medical conditions that affect your daily life.

Our doctors evaluate your symptoms during your appointment and certify you if medical cannabis can help your condition.

No, you don’t need medical records to get approved for your medical marijuana card. Our doctors evaluate your current symptoms and condition during your video appointment, and an honest conversation about what you’re experiencing is enough for certification. If you have records from previous doctors or prescriptions, they can help support your application, but most patients get approved based on their symptoms alone without bringing any paperwork.

Dispensaries in Minnesota carry every major form of medical marijuana so you can find what works best for your condition and lifestyle. Medical patients can purchase all these product types with a valid card.

• Oils – Use these in vape cartridges or take them by mouth, depending on the product instructions.
• Capsules – Swallow these like regular pills for consistent, measured doses every time.
• Edibles – Gummies, baked goods, and candies that provide longer-lasting relief than smoking.
• Topicals – Lotions, balms, and creams you apply directly to sore joints or muscles without any psychoactive effects.
• Tinctures – Liquid drops you place under your tongue for faster absorption than edibles that can take up to two hours.
• Liquids – Drinkable cannabis beverages or syrups you can mix into your favorite drinks.
• Dry flower – The actual cannabis plant you can smoke or vaporize, which remains the most popular choice.

Yes, you can grow marijuana at home in Minnesota, but you need to follow the state’s home cultivation rules that apply to everyone 21 and older.

• Age requirement – You must be at least 21 years old to grow cannabis at your residence.
• Plant limits – You can grow up to 8 plants total per household, with only 4 being mature, flowering plants at once.
• Growing location – Plants must stay in an enclosed, locked space that the public can’t see from outside your property.
• Per household rule – The 8-plant limit applies to your entire residence, no matter how many adults live there.
• Personal use only – You can’t sell what you grow, but you can give cannabis to other adults 21+ within legal limits.
• Storage limits – Keep harvested cannabis over 2 ounces at your home only, up to 2 pounds maximum.

Minnesota does not have reciprocity agreements with other states, so your medical marijuana card only works at dispensaries within state borders. You cannot legally transport marijuana across state lines, even to states where it’s legal, because federal law still prohibits interstate cannabis transport. If you’re traveling to another state with medical marijuana laws, check if they accept out-of-state cards before your trip.
