Understanding Cannabis Legalization in Connecticut

The Marijuana Palliative Use Act, passed in 2012, legalized medical cannabis in Connecticut. Since then, the list of qualifying conditions has expanded, and access to the program has grown—most recently with the opening of a new dispensary in Groton. Today, the state has 18 licensed dispensaries, where patients and caregivers can conveniently purchase both flower and edibles, according to The Day.

While recreational cannabis remains prohibited, medical use is fully legal in the state, as reported by Benzinga. Data from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics shows that Connecticut’s healthcare spending on medical cannabis reached $83 million in 2018, but is projected to decline to $71 million by 2024. However, if adult-use legalization passes, revenues could rise sharply—potentially reaching $265 million by 2024.

Connecticut Cannabis Caregiver Program

To serve as a caregiver in Connecticut’s medical marijuana program, individuals must meet specific criteria. Caregivers are required to provide a valid email address, a primary phone number, and a state-issued ID card or driver’s license. They must also pay a $25 registration fee to obtain a medical cannabis caregiver card.

Additional requirements include:

Being at least 18 years of age
Agreeing to assist the qualifying patient with their medical cannabis use
Having no felony convictions
Not being a board-certified medical professional at the time of application

Under Connecticut law, a caregiver may only assist one patient at a time. Furthermore, primary caregiver registration is generally limited to individuals who have a parental, guardianship, conservatorship, or close familial relationship with the patient.
