How Do You Get a Medical Cannabis Card in Jersey City?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC) runs the Medicinal Cannabis Program, which operates under state law, including the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act signed in 2019. Registration starts with a participating health care provider, according to the state’s<\/span> registration page<\/span><\/a>. You must be a New Jersey resident and keep a bona fide relationship with your provider, as the<\/span> program overview<\/span><\/a> explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the four steps to your card:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. See a participating provider:<\/b> A registered provider diagnoses a qualifying condition. If you both agree cannabis may help, they give you an Authorizing Healthcare Practitioner Statement. Read Veriheal’s guide on<\/span> telemedicine for medical cannabis in your state<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Collect your registry numbers:<\/b> The statement lists a reference ID number and a registry ID number. You need both to set up your account.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Register in the patient portal:<\/b> Create your account, upload your documents and photo, and name your dispensary.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Choose your card:<\/b> Pick a free digital ID card or a $10 physical card, then buy from a licensed dispensary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You’ll need these items to finish registration:<\/span><\/p>\n
