Apply For Your New Jersey Medical Marijuana Card Online Today

New Jersey has gotten rid of its registration fee, so certification is now free except for your provider’s evaluation, and registered individuals don’t pay any tax for their cannabis use compared to over 6.625% that adults have to pay when purchasing adult-use cannabis. Get a secure evaluation by a New Jersey licensed provider, and if you become certified, register with the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC).

The Medical Cannabis Program of New Jersey has received substantial development in 2019 with the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act, while adult-use cannabis appeared in 2021, and the retail sale began in April 2022. Despite the existence of a legal adult-use market, the benefits of being a registered patient in New Jersey are still considerable, including tax exemption and higher possession limits.

Three Simple Steps to Get Your New Jersey Medical Marijuana Card

Getting certified in New Jersey is a fast, largely online process.

Step 1: Get Certified by a New Jersey-Licensed Provider

Have a telemedicine evaluation with a doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who is a part of the New Jersey Medicinal Cannabis Program. Many providers certify on the same day.

Step 2: Register With the CRC

After being certified, you will receive a reference number for the patient and register for the program by filling out the forms on the website with the documents proving your residency in New Jersey and having a photo ID.

Step 3: Get Your Digital ID and Start Shopping

After you have been authorized, your free digital ID card is issued in your account and is now ready for use at any ATC or NJ dispensary.

New Jersey’s Medical Cannabis Program at a Glance

The Medical Cannabis Program of New Jersey is regulated by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission. This program operates on two different schedules: the expiration date of your certification from your doctor occurs once per year, whereas the expiration of your state identification card will happen every two years. Both of them should be kept updated to have full access.

There are no longer any registration fees for the state of New Jersey, which means that your only cost of registering is your provider’s evaluation. If you want to have a physical ID card alongside your complimentary digital ID card, you can pay an optional fee of $10.
