Here is a brief overview of the history of medical marijuana laws and legislation in Minnesota:
How to Qualify
It is only possible to renew an existing Minnesota medical marijuana card online. If you already have a card, you can renew with a certificate from a Leafwell physician.
To apply for a Medical Marijuana Certificate in Minnesota, you must be a legal resident of Minnesota.
Patients must be 18 to apply for a medical marijuana card, and minors can have caregivers apply on their behalf.
Registration to the Minnesota Department of Health’s medical marijuana program is mandatory, but this is not a public database, and your details are not visible to the general public.
According to Minnesota law, the following debilitating conditions may qualify you for a medical marijuana certificate in Minnesota:
As an MMJ certificate holder in Minnesota, you are permitted to possess a 90 day supply, with the amount determined by the physician.
Note that there are limits to the products available in Minnesota for medical patients. Oils, tinctures, pills, pre-rolled joints, flower, gummies, and chews are available.
Caregivers
Some patients may be eligible for an MMJ Certificate but unable to apply for one themselves. For example, should the patient be a minor under 18, or if the patient needs assistance accessing medical cannabis, a caregiver can be assigned to complete the process on their behalf.
01
Caregivers must be 21. Caregivers can assist with registration or the purchase/pickup of medical cannabis.
02
Minors can allocate a parent or legal guardian as their caregiver. The parents/guardians must meet with the physician (via telemedicine) ahead of the certification.
03
A spouse can be a caregiver. The spouse must meet with the physician (via telemedicine), and you’ll be asked to upload a copy of your marriage certificate to the state.
04
Caregivers can also be anyone who has been designated to assist a registered patient by a physician. So if you have a friend, flatmate, carer, or nurse who you want to be your caregiver, this is possible.
05
Patients can have more than one caregiver.
There isn’t an MMJ ID card system in Minnesota, so certificates alone may not be enough for states with a medical marijuana identification card system, except for states like Hawaii and Illinois, where medical marijuana patients from other states can apply and provide an identification number.
Minnesota does not recognize other states’ medical marijuana cards.
Telehealth services like Leafwell make it easy to get a medical marijuana card, but meeting with a cannabis doctor is only the first part of the process.
