Get Your North Dakota Medical Marijuana Card in Minutes

As a medical marijuana cardholder in North Dakota, you are permitted to possess up to 3 oz of cannabis flower per month.

Here’s some more detailed information for patients:

• Your physician may increase the possession limit to 6 oz if you’re a cancer patient.
• Patients may possess up to 4,000 mg of THC in the form of cannabis concentrates per month. This includes edibles, tinctures, oils, pills/capsules, and other forms of concentrated cannabis.

Minor patients (under 19) cannot use dried leaves and flowers, nor can they use products with more than 6% THC.

Patients must have a specific certification from their physician to consume herbal cannabis formulations via combustion. Otherwise, patients can only obtain cannabis-infused tinctures, capsules, patches, or topical.

You cannot cultivate marijuana in North Dakota even if you have an MMJ card. This provision was removed by lawmakers by the passage of SB 2344.

Medical marijuana patients in North Dakota can have a caregiver, and caregivers must be at least 21 years old.

Caregivers are responsible for the day-to-day care of their respective medical marijuana patients and must have a clean criminal record.

To become a caregiver in North Dakota:

1. Sign up on the state website.
   Complete and apply on the BioTrackTHC system. You will be asked for your name, address, date of birth, phone number, and email address. You must also upload a passport-style photograph, driver’s license, or ND state ID card in .pdf, .jpeg, or .png format.
2. Provide the patient’s unique medical marijuana barcode.
   An applicant must enter the patient’s 10-digit alphanumeric barcode number and click the “verify” button to match the appropriate patient to the designated caregiver. Once there is a correct match, the patient’s name, date of birth, and email address will populate in the fields. The patient barcode number is generated and assigned when patients complete and submit their application, and this means that the patient must complete their initial application first.
3. Pass a criminal records check.
   All designated caregivers must pass a criminal history record check with their initial application and every other year after that. Per NDCC Chapter 19-24.1, anybody who applies as a designated caregiver must not have been convicted of a drug misdemeanor within the five years preceding the date of application or a felony offense in their lifetime.
