A <\/span>Minnesota medical cannabis card<\/span><\/a> costs less than many online sources suggest. The state charges no enrollment fee. Your only cost is the practitioner evaluation that certifies your qualifying condition, so you can budget with confidence before you start.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does a Minnesota Medical Cannabis Card Actually Cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The cost question has a simple answer. Minnesota<\/span> eliminated its patient enrollment fee in July 2023<\/span><\/a>. Current law,<\/span> Minn. Stat. \u00a7342.52<\/span><\/a>, sets no charge to enroll. If you see an older source quoting a state registry fee, it describes the program before that change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the full breakdown:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Cost Component<\/b><\/td>\nAmount<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Practitioner evaluation fee (Veriheal)<\/span><\/td>\nSee Veriheal’s Minnesota pricing<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Re-enrollment<\/span><\/td>\nA new practitioner certification every three years; no state fee<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The practitioner evaluation fee covers your telehealth appointment with a Veriheal practitioner, who reviews your medical history and qualifying medical condition. After you are certified, you complete your enrollment application with the Office of Cannabis Management’s Division of Medical Cannabis at no cost. Your certification must be dated within 90 days before you submit that application.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding<\/span> how long it takes to get a medical card<\/span><\/a> helps you plan. You pay the evaluation fee when you book. After you’re certified and apply, the office has up to 30 days to approve or deny your free enrollment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Can Pay Even Less?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Because there is no state fee, there is no state fee reduction to apply for. However, a few groups can still lower their total cost further:<\/span><\/p>\n
