Additional Helpful MMJ Renewal Information For Virginia Card Holders
What Happens After My Virginia MMJ Renewal Appointment?
- The state fee is separate from what you paid us for the doctor’s visit.
- The state sends your renewed card to your email address, which usually happens in just a few days.
- You can use the renewed card or the doctor’s new written certification when you shop at any dispensary.
What Legal Protections Do I Get With My Virginia Medical Marijuana Card?
Your Virginia medical marijuana card gives you real legal protections under state law. When you have a valid card, you’re protected from being penalized for using medical cannabis as your doctor recommends. Here’s what matters to you.
- Legal Possession and Higher Limits: Your card lets you possess a 60-day supply of cannabis recommended by your doctor, which is way more than the one ounce allowed for regular adult use in Virginia. You won’t face legal trouble for having what your doctor says you need.
- Workplace Protection: Your employer cannot fire you, punish you, or treat you differently just because you use medical cannabis off the job. Your job status is protected under Virginia law when you hold a valid card.
- Safe Dispensary Access: Your card gives you legal entry to Virginia dispensaries where you can buy regulated, tested products. You won’t worry about breaking the law when you purchase from a licensed store.
- Documentation and Proof: Your card serves as proof that you have medical authorization. If you ever get questioned about your cannabis use, your card shows you have legal permission from a licensed doctor in Virginia.
