Getting registered means certification from a physician first, then an application to the state. The<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/omc.wv.gov\/patientscaregivers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office of Medical Cannabis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lists what you need to apply:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A completed Physician&#8217;s Certification for Qualified Patients form from a registered physician.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A digital photo for your patient card.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A photo ID.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of West Virginia residency, such as a utility bill or voter registration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application is online.

To plan your timeline, read Veriheal&#8217;s guide on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-a-medical-card\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how long it takes to get a medical card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On your first visit, bring your approved West Virginia medical cannabis identification card. Only patients and caregivers who hold one can buy, according to the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/omc.wv.gov\/faq\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office of Medical Cannabis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Dispensaries also verify your information in the state&#8217;s tracking system before they dispense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Does a West Virginia Card Cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The state charges a $50 application fee for the patient card, and it is paid to the state, not to Veriheal. You can request a fee waiver for financial hardship if your household income is below 200% of the federal poverty level, according to the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/omc.wv.gov\/faq\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">state&#8217;s frequently asked questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your physician&#8217;s evaluation is a separate cost. Veriheal&#8217;s evaluation costs $149, and you can split the fee into interest-free installments. Every Veriheal evaluation comes with a &#8220;get approved or your money back&#8221; policy. Insurance does not cover cannabis because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The state lists them as pills, oils, topical forms such as gels, creams, and ointments, a form suitable for vaporization or nebulization, dry leaf or plant form, tinctures, liquids, and dermal patches. Patients are not permitted to smoke medical cannabis. Ask each dispensary which of these it carries before you travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Can Qualify for a West Virginia Card?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/code.wvlegislature.gov\/16A-2-1\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Virginia&#8217;s Medical Cannabis Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lists 15 serious medical conditions. They include cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson&#8217;s disease, and multiple sclerosis. Epilepsy, Crohn&#8217;s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sickle cell anemia, severe chronic pain, and terminal illness also qualify. Glaucoma and anxiety are not on the list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your physician confirms whether your condition qualifies. Physicians must register with the state and finish a four-hour course before they can certify patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Much Can You Buy at a West Virginia Dispensary?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State law limits how much a patient or caregiver can receive.
