About Medical Marijuana in Massachusetts

A voter referendum passed with 63% approval in 2013, resulting in the Massachusetts medical marijuana program becoming effective. It is worth mentioning that while medical cannabis retail sales began in 2016, recreational marijuana sales took place in the state in 2018, taking a vastly shorter time to get things underway.

In May 2020, MassLive reported that the Bay State made $122 million in tax revenue from the sale of marijuana, proving both non-patients and patients want legalization.

By streamlining the process of registering for medical cannabis cards online, the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) has simplified the process of getting marijuana cards. As reported in MassLive, the CCC proposed to allow caregivers to assist up to 10 patients at a time in August 2020.

There are also efforts underway to allow recreational delivery. Representatives of the CCC and the states regarding this matter are working on a third rule-making phase.

“It was approved that a delivery license structure for businesses would be available in the fall, and applications were made available in May, but the commission has not yet licensed a business that is only capable of delivering food,” an August news report by MassLive explains.

The state of Massachusetts is likely to continue to create policies and procedures that will generate another $122 million in cannabis tax revenue from its sales, given that medicinal and recreational marijuana is now legal in the state. In both patient and non-patient settings, this is good news.

Qualifying Medical Conditions In Massachusetts

Residents of Massachusetts can use medical cannabis if they suffer from the following eight conditions:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease)
Anxiety
Cancer
Cachexia
Crohn’s disease
Glaucoma
Hepatitis C
HIV/AIDS
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson’s disease
PTSD

According to the state, medical marijuana doctors may also prescribe the drug if certain conditions severely restrict one or more major life functions. The Massachusetts Medical Cannabis Registry does not charge a registration fee for medical cannabis cards. An annual card fee of $50 was once required but has been lowered in 2019

Registering a Caregiver in Massachusetts

Providing proof of Massachusetts residency is one of the caregiver requirements. You can use two forms of identification:

An identification card or driver's license that is valid

A U.S. passport

A military identification card with a clear photograph

Nonetheless, a military ID must be accompanied by a document proving residency, such as a utility bill.

Furthermore, a personal caregiver must be a Massachusetts resident and be at least 21 years of age. MMJ cards must be renewed annually for them to remain valid. Caregiver registration numbers are given to patients' caregivers once the state approves them.
