If eligible, they’ll issue a Patient Certification form, often uploaded directly to the OMC. Telemedicine appointments are available.

Step 2

Consult with a doctor specializing in MMJ

Meet with the registered physician, either in-person or via telemedicine. The doctor will review your medical history and evaluate whether your condition qualifies for medical cannabis under West Virginia’s guidelines.

If the physician determines you’re eligible, they’ll issue a Patient Certification form. They may upload this directly to the OMC’s MyComplia portal or provide it to you for submission with your application.

Step 3

Get approval

After receiving a copy of your physician’s healthcare professional certification form, you must complete the online patient registration form and register with the state online once you receive the copy. When submitting your application, West Virginia has imposed an additional $100 state fee, which you must pay when submitting your application.

The healthcare professional’s certification form must also be included. Patients who receive federal assistance or are experiencing financial hardship and can provide documentation of such hardship as part of the application process will be eligible for a $25 reduction in the state fee.

The State will process and approve your completed application within three to five business days of receiving it. Once you receive your card, you can pick it up at the DMV or the courthouse in your area of residence. residencia.

About cannabis in West Virginia

The Medical Cannabis Act of 2017, signed by Governor Jim Justice, laid the foundation for qualifying patients in West Virginia to obtain state-approved cannabis products through licensed dispensaries. As Marijuana Business Daily notes, some dispensaries and processors have struggled or closed since the program’s rollout, citing limited product selection, a ban on edibles, and the absence of home cultivation as factors reducing patient engagement. As COVID-19 impacted the Mountain State’s economy, West Virginia’s medical cannabis market has also faced slower growth compared to neighboring states, according to The Charleston Gazette-Mail. One licensed company, Trulieve WV, initially produced oils, tinctures, capsules, and dry flower with THC levels compliant with state law, supplying all products exclusively to licensed dispensaries.

West Virginia Caregiver Registry

Families caring for an adult or minor medical cannabis cardholder in West Virginia are encouraged to complete caregiver applications online through the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis to ensure efficient screening and faster approval. The patient must first be certified by a registered healthcare provider using the official Physician Certification form before designating a caregiver.

As part of the process, caregivers must provide a valid photo ID or driver’s license from West Virginia or an approved neighboring state such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Maryland, or Virginia. Caregiver registration with the Office of Medical Cannabis requires a $50 fee, payable to the state, although this fee may be waived for those who qualify for financial hardship. Once approved, a caregiver will receive a West Virginia medical cannabis caregiver card, which must be presented when purchasing products from licensed dispensaries on behalf of their patient.
