Yes, you likely qualify for a medical marijuana card if you have any diagnosed medical condition and a registered practitioner believes cannabis could help you. The state does not limit eligibility to a list of conditions, making access possible for many patients.

• Residency: You must be a permanent or temporary resident of Alexandria and provide proof such as a state-issued ID or driver’s license.
• Age: You must be 18 years or older. Patients under 18 may qualify through a designated parent or legal guardian.
• Qualifying Condition: The state has no list of qualifying conditions. Any diagnosed condition or disease may qualify if the practitioner determines that cannabis could benefit your health.
• Practitioner Requirement: You must be evaluated by a state-registered Physician, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant who can issue written certification.
• Registration Card: The state-issued registration card is now optional for purchasing at dispensaries.

Medical marijuana comes in more forms than most patients expect, and dispensaries in Alexandria carry every option the state allows. You get to pick how you want to medicate based on what works for your lifestyle and condition.

• Flower (the most popular choice): Smokable cannabis buds you can use in a pipe, roll, or vaporizer. Effects kick in within minutes. Patients dealing with headaches often ask for strains like Headband for pressure relief and relaxation.
• Vape cartridges and oils: Pre-filled cartridges that attach to a small battery. You get fast effects with less smell than flower, which is why patients who medicate on the go prefer them.
• Tinctures: Liquid drops placed under your tongue that absorb in 15 to 30 minutes. Patients who want precise control over their dose tend to reach for tinctures first.
• Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, baked goods, and candies. Effects take longer (30 minutes to 2 hours) but last much longer than inhaled products.
• Capsules: Cannabis in pill form with pre-measured doses. Patients who already take daily medications find capsules fit naturally into their routine.
• Topicals: Creams, balms, and lotions applied directly to skin. No psychoactive effects, just targeted relief where you need it.
• Beverages: Infused teas, sodas, and syrups. A newer category that dispensaries are stocking more of each month.

Yes, residents can grow marijuana at home. The state’s home cultivation law applies to any adult 21 or older, including medical patients.

• Four plants per household, period: This limit applies to your entire residence regardless of how many adults live there or whether the plants are seedlings, clones, or fully mature.
• No license or fees: The state does not require residents to register or pay anything to grow at home for personal use.
• Keep plants hidden and secured: Your plants cannot be visible from King Street, Mount Vernon Avenue, or any public sidewalk. They must also be secured so no one under 21 can access them.
• Tag every plant: Each plant needs a legible tag showing your name, state ID number, and a note that it’s for personal use. Police can check compliance, so don’t skip this step.
• Personal use only: You cannot sell what you grow. The state does allow gifting up to one ounce to another adult as long as no money changes hands.
• Apartment and condo considerations: Many rental properties and HOAs prohibit cultivation in lease agreements. Check your housing contract before starting a home grow.
• Medical patients follow the same rules: Your MMJ card doesn’t give you extra plants or different guidelines. Patients and adult-use growers operate under identical regulations.

Patients who want to grow their own medicine have every legal right to do so, as long as they follow these state guidelines.
