Schedule an appointment to see a medical marijuana doctor in NJ through Veriheal at a time that is most convenient for you. Provide basic medical history and book your appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor. If you have medical records for your condition(s) please provide them.
Do not hesitate to reach out if you need assistance with getting an appointment set, our team would be more than happy to help.
Consult with a doctor either online or in person for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your ailments and ask any questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. After the appointment is complete and if you are approved, the doctor will fill out a recommendation form for medical marijuana. Once you have this you can then apply to the state.
Every patient will need to prove New Jersey residency for their application to be accepted by the state of NJ.
Once you are approved, you’ll register with the state, pay the additional state fee ($50), and submit your application. The state will process your application and notify you of your approval and mail your card. Once you have your card in hand, you can begin purchasing from dispensaries.
In New Jersey, patients will need to re-certify their license every year by seeing a licensed physician again. Veriheal will get in touch with you when your certification is approaching its expiration to help you setup a renewal consultation.
Such an easy process to get set up and verified. Thank you!!
Extremely helpful staff !! Streamlined and expedited the process. I should have done this years ago but I was concerned about the whole process. They made it safe and confidential and now I don't have to live in fear for using a medication that is effective for ME!!

In recent New Jersey cannabis news, Assembly Bill 5323 was passed, permitting certain tax deductions related to the sale, production, or distribution of cannabis products in an effort to offset increased tax burdens placed upon dispensaries by Section 280E of the federal tax code.
Signed into law in 2010, by Gov. Jon S. Corzine, medical cannabis made the Garden State all that much greener. Over the past 13 years, New Jersey has developed an efficient medical cannabis program.
Legalization of any form of cannabis in New Jersey is a big step–mostly because the state is tougher on marijuana crimes than any other state. In particular, Black users are three and a half times more likely to be arrested than white cannabis users.
The sale of recreational cannabis in the Garden State began in April 2022. Since then, the laws are constantly being revised and updated.
First, you’ll book an appointment with a doctor in the Veriheal network. Once approved by the state-certified physician, you will receive your NJMMP Registry ID and Reference Number from the doctor which you will use to register with the state of New Jersey here: https://njmmp.nj.gov/njmmp/
On your state application you must upload the following to prove your residency:
Within 30 days, the NJ DOH will contact you via email with your approval information. If approved, you will be required to pay the $50 state registration fee and your card will come in the mail in 7-10 business days. Once you have your card in hand, you can begin purchasing medical marijuana legally from your local NJ dispensaries.
New Jersey has a list of qualifying conditions that make residents eligible for a medical cannabis card, including:
Along with having a qualified condition, a New Jersey resident must be at least 18 years old and prove they live in the Garden State with a current driver’s license or identification card, and another document proving a valid address. The medical cannabis card itself is valid for two years, but a patient must get re-certified from a licensed physician annually.
A person with medicinal marijuana certification may choose to have a caregiver if necessary. If the condition of a patient is too severe to the point where they can not physically go to their alternative therapy center (ATC) themselves, a caregiver can be used. Up to two caregivers can be designated by patients.
Without the presence of the patient a caregiver can buy medicinal marijuana from an ATC.
The licensed patient selects caregivers; generally a friend or family member. During registering, caregivers can be added at any moment and must go through the same process as patients in order to obtain a card.
Caregivers must submit fingerprints for an inquiry into a criminal background. Once the caregiver has started internet registration, the fingerprinting forms will be accessible. Elected caregivers must be at least 18 years old, a resident of New Jersey, and agree to help a qualified person use marijuana for medical purposes. Caregivers have to undergo a background check and can’t be the physician of the patient.
Caregivers are required to include:
Optional documents for reduced fees of $20:
No fee is charged for their cards to parents or legal guardians of minor patients.
Revamped in 2019, the medical cannabis program offered more provisions than before, especially when it came to possession laws. Medical cannabis patients and caregivers are now allowed to have a maximum of 3 ounces every month for 18 months, with a capped amount based on pending regulation, except for terminally ill patients who are not limited to the amount they possess.
Edibles infused with cannabis are only accessible for patients younger than 18 years of age. Medical marijuana is packaged in one-eighth ounce (0.125 oz.) or 3.54 grams and one-quarter ounce (0.25 oz.) or 7.1 grams, respectively. As mentioned by the CUMMA, the present ownership limit for medical marijuana in New Jersey is two ounces (2 oz.), or 56.7 grams, of marijuana product over a period of 30 days. CUMMA does not allow the cultivation of cannabis crops by medical marijuana patients or caregivers in New Jersey.
A physician shall submit written instructions to the Alternative Treatment Center (ATC) for a registered qualifying patient or caregiver regarding the total quantity of usable marijuana that a patient may dispense, by weight, over a period of 30 days, not exceeding two (2) ounces. If no amount is noted, there are two (2) ounces in the maximum amount that can be dispensed at one time.
‘Alternative Treatment Centers’ certify and dispense medicinal marijuana in increments of one-eighth and one-quarter of an ounce. If a doctor does not indicate a permitted quantity of 30 days, the program defaults to a maximum of 2 ounces for the patient.
The Medical Marijuana Compassionate Use Act does not allow a qualified person or primary caregiver to grow or develop marijuana or to own a marijuana plant. New Jersey legislation does not allow patients with medical marijuana to develop their own crops of marijuana.
The Health Department of New Jersey has given the following rules for patients and caregivers with medical marijuana.

The most densely populated state in the country, New Jersey boasts city and beach life in a unique way. Starting off with Weird NJ, a statewide tour of unique and frightening sites, the Garden State also offers Six Flags Great Adventure, a water and ride park that takes at least a day or two to enjoy. Of course, the Jersey Shore has miles of beach and boardwalks visited by millions annually. Needless to say southern Jersey’s Atlantic City is one of the most popular Garden State hangouts with some of the best food, entertainment and gambling available on the East Coast. There is no reason not to turn a trip to any statewide dispensary into an afternoon or evening at any one of the below best places in New Jersey.
It’s much easier to note what cannot be done in Hoboken, rather than what can. Right outside New York City, the northern Garden State town boasts Pier 13 and Sinatra Drive, two scenic sites of the Big Apple. Of course, music at Maxwell's, or getting a few drinks at Wicked Wolf bar is a good time had by locals and tourists alike. And in the case, Hoboken is not hot enough, simply take the Holland Tunnel or George Washington Bridge into the Big Apple, the city that never sleeps.
Simply take any of New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway shore exits for an unforgettable beach excursion. Between the dozens of starred restaurants, miles of Atlantic Ocean, boardwalks in Point Pleasant, Seaside Heights, and Wildwood, there is not enough time for all the fun to be had. Some of the most notable beach towns of Asbury Park and Long Beach Island keep visitors coming back year after year for some serious sun and fun.
This little Las Vegas in south Jersey boasts history and culture within a small region on the Atlantic coast. After sitting on the sands, walking the Atlantic Boardwalk for some shopping usually comes next before a big night in any of the top casinos including Borgata, which features A-lister entertainment all year through. For a quieter time, take a trip to Absecon lighthouse, or Cape May, another beach town boasting beach beauty, top fare, and bed and breakfast stops waiting to be enjoyed.
