Get Your VA Medical Marijuana Card in Virginia Beach with State-Licensed Doctors

To get your medical marijuana card in Virginia Beach, you need a valid photo ID and proof that you live in the state. We take care of the physician certification during your consultation, and then you pay the state fee when you submit everything online.

• Valid photo ID: Your driver’s license or state ID works. Just make sure it hasn’t expired and shows your current legal name.
• Proof you live in the state: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement with your Virginia Beach address does the job. The state wants something dated within the last 60 days.
• Medical history (helpful but not required): Old prescription bottles, doctor’s notes about your condition, or previous diagnoses make the process faster. Don’t have any of these? We can still evaluate you based on your symptoms alone.
• Physician certification form: This is what we fill out together after approving you in your video call. You don’t need to chase down your primary care doctor or get anything signed beforehand.
• State application fee: The state charges this separately when you submit your application to the state portal. This fee goes directly to the state, not to us.

You qualify for a medical marijuana card if you live in the state and a licensed practitioner decides cannabis could support your health. For most patients in Virginia Beach, the main step is meeting with a registered doctor who reviews your symptoms and confirms your eligibility.

• Residency: You must live in the state and show proof with a state ID, driver’s license, or another accepted document.
• Age: You must be 18 or older, and minors can qualify with a parent or legal guardian applying as their caregiver.
• Qualifying condition: The state does not limit conditions, so any diagnosed issue may qualify if your practitioner believes cannabis could help.
• Evaluation: A state-registered doctor, NP, or PA must review your symptoms and issue a written certification if appropriate.
• Registration: The optional state card is no longer required to shop, since your written certification and photo ID are enough.

You’ll find every product form the state allows at dispensaries in Virginia Beach. Here’s what you can buy when you visit.

• Dry flower: The most popular option among patients. You smoke or vaporize it, and potent strains like GMO Cookies are favorites for serious pain relief.
• Vape cartridges and oils: Convenient and discreet, which matters if you’re medicating at the Oceanfront or around town. Effects hit fast, usually within minutes.
• Tinctures: Drops under your tongue that work in 15 to 30 minutes. These are great if you want precise doses or don’t want to inhale anything.
• Edibles: Gummies and chocolates that last longer but take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Start with a low dose to find what works for you.
• Capsules: Swallow like a regular pill. No taste, no smell, predictable dosing every time.
• Topicals: Rub these creams and balms directly on sore joints or muscles. They provide localized relief without psychoactive effects.
• Beverages: Drinkable options for patients who prefer not to smoke. Effects similar to edibles.

Yes, you can grow marijuana at home with a medical cannabis card. The same home cultivation rules apply to medical patients as they do to adults 21 and older under state law.

• Eligibility: You must be 21 years of age or older, or be a registered medical cannabis patient, to legally cultivate cannabis at your primary residence.
• License: No license is required to grow for personal use, and there is no annual cultivation fee.
• Plant limits: You can grow up to four plants per household, with no distinction between stages of growth:
  • Mature: The household total is limited to four plants.
  • Immature: The household total is limited to four plants.
  • Clones/Seedlings: The household total is limited to four plants.
• Location: Plants must not be visible from a public way and must be secured to prevent access by anyone younger than 21.
• Household limits: The limit is four plants total per household, regardless of the number of adults or cardholders in the residence.
• Caregivers: Registered medical cannabis patients and caregivers may also grow up to four plants per household under the same rules.
• Personal use only: Any marijuana you grow is for personal use only. Adult sharing up to one ounce without payment is permitted. Selling is prohibited.
• Tagging requirement: You must attach a legible tag to each plant with your name, driver’s license or ID number, and a note that the plant is for personal use.
