How to get a West Virginia medical marijuana card
In order to obtain a West Virginia medical marijuana card, prospective patients must consult with a state-certified medical marijuana doctor and obtain a completed “Physician’s Certification for Qualified Patients” form.
Physicians must complete an approved 4-hour course to be authorized to certify medical cannabis patients.
Once a patient is approved by the physician they need to complete an application and submit payment (unless financial hardship waiver is requested and approved). Patients are required to upload a copy of the form as well as a state-issued I.D. and proof of residence into the documents section of the online application.
A fee of $50 must be remitted along with the application.
30-60 days after the application and payment are received, the patient application will be reviewed. The patient will receive an email regarding the status of their application upon review.
If an application is denied, the patient will be informed of the reason. If the application needs a correction, it will be rejected and sent back to be corrected and resubmitted.
If an application is approved, a WV Medical Cannabis card will be issued.
Cards will expire after one year.
