I love this place. They are professional, polite, and fast. They stay in contact and guide you through the whole process, from start to finish. I won't go anywhere else. 
Very stress-free process you all have done for me. Highly recommend. I'll be renewing my card through y'all in the future. I appreciate all the work done from your end I'm not tech savvy 😆 
Great Experience! Times for Doctor visit was convenient and had a wide range suitable to my schedule. Doctor visit was short and to the point. I opted for the extra fee to do the state's application and was impressed by how fast they were able to get my application submitted. Thanks for your service. 
First-time user. Much easier than the previous company used... Doing it all online and FaceTime is so much more convenient... Not to mention about half the price of the previous company. I highly recommend this company... if they could walk me through it, just about anyone can use this site.

Medical Marijuana Benefits in Norfolk
Your Norfolk medical card saves you the state’s 21% recreational tax every time you shop for cannabis products. You’ll enjoy patient-only hours when dispensaries are peaceful, use convenient parking spots near the entrance, and choose from new inventory before recreational customers arrive. Medical marijuana reduces inflammation naturally, and your card protects you legally while you work on feeling better.
| Benefit | Explanation and Regulatory Detail | MMJ Card | No MMJ Card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tax Exemption on Purchases | Medical cannabis is exempt from Virginia's planned 21% excise tax, leading to substantial cost savings. Patients only pay standard sales tax at licensed dispensaries serving Norfolk. | ✓ | 21% Excise Tax |
| Higher Purchase and Possession Limits | Patients can purchase up to a 90-day supply, which significantly exceeds the 1-ounce recreational possession limit. This ensures a consistent medication supply near areas like Ghent. | ✓ | 1 oz Possession Limit |
| Stronger Legal Protection for Possession | A patient certification offers explicit state-level legal protection for lawful possession and use. Recreational users in Norfolk lack this specific legal shield under the medical program rules. | ✓ | ✗ |
| Access for Patients Under 21 | Minors and young adults below age 21 can legally access medical cannabis via a registered caregiver. Recreational use is strictly prohibited for individuals under 21, even in neighborhoods like Larchmont. | ✓ | 21+ Only |
| Exclusive Access to Retail Sales | Since recreational retail sales remain illegal, certified patients have sole legal access to all regulated, tested, and safe products from Virginia's licensed processors. | ✓ | ✗ |
| Access to Specialized Formulations | Licensed dispensaries offer high-potency concentrates, tinctures, and specific oils unavailable to general consumers. These advanced products are designed to meet complex patient needs in Norfolk. | ✓ | ✗ |
| Employment Discrimination Protection | Virginia law protects registered patients from adverse job action due to a positive cannabis test, unless impaired at work. This aids employees near Downtown and the Freemason District. | ✓ | ✗ |

How to Renew Your Med Card in Norfolk
Renewing your medical marijuana certification in Norfolk is required every year to stay legal. Here’s what you need versus what’s optional.
- Annual doctor renewal is required: Your written certification expires one year from the issue date. Without a current one, you can’t legally possess or buy medical marijuana.
- What to bring: You need your state ID. Your current written certification helps if you have it. Medical records are useful but not required. Our Norfolk doctors can renew you based on your current symptoms if treatment is working.
- The appointment takes 5 minutes: Your practitioner asks how treatment is going, reviews your condition, and answers questions. You’ll get a new written certification valid for another year.
- The state registry card costs extra and isn’t necessary: The written certification from your doctor is what dispensaries check. The state registry card through the state’s Medical Cannabis Program portal costs $50 ($25 for caregivers) and is optional. Many Norfolk patients skip it.
- Book 2-3 weeks before expiration: This prevents any gap in your legal access. If your certification expires before you renew, you can’t legally purchase during that time.
- Same-day appointments available: If you’re running close to expiration, call us. We can usually see you within 24 hours.
What Legal Protections Do I Get With a Medical Marijuana Card in Norfolk?
Having a medical marijuana card in Norfolk means you can legally possess and use cannabis for your health needs under state law. Understanding your rights helps you use your medicine confidently and stay protected.
- Always carry your card: Keep your valid medical marijuana certification with you whenever you have cannabis products. If law enforcement asks, calmly show your card and explain you’re a registered patient.
- Your card confirms your legal right: Your certification proves you can legally possess and use medical marijuana in Norfolk as long as it’s current and from a licensed doctor.
- Stay within possession limits: State law allows up to a 90-day supply as determined by your doctor. Use your medicine only in private spaces, not in public places or vehicles.
- Keep your certification current: An expired card offers no legal protection. Schedule your renewal before it expires to maintain continuous legal coverage.
Do I need a doctor's referral to apply?
No. You do not need a referral from your primary care physician. You can book directly with Elevate Holistics, and our licensed PA physicians will evaluate you themselves.
Can I use my card in other states?
Pennsylvania does not currently offer reciprocity, meaning your PA card will not be accepted at dispensaries in other states. Some states do accept out-of-state cards, so check the laws of your destination before traveling with medical cannabis.
What if I have more than one qualifying condition?
That is fine. You only need one qualifying condition to be certified. However, mentioning all relevant conditions to the physician can be helpful for your overall treatment discussion.
Is my information private?
Yes. All Elevate Holistics telehealth appointments are 100% HIPAA-compliant. Your medical information is protected and is not shared beyond what is required for the state registration process.
What happens after my card expires?
Pennsylvania medical marijuana cards are valid for one year. When your card approaches expiration, you will need to renew your physician certification and update your state registration. Already have a card? Renew your PA MMJ card here.
