Apply for your West Virginia Medical Marijuana Card

West Virginia’s Medical Cannabis Act recognizes the following qualifying conditions: cancer, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, spinal cord tissue damage with intractable spasticity, epilepsy, neuropathy, Huntington’s disease, Crohn’s disease, PTSD, intractable seizures, sickle cell anemia, intractable or chronic neuropathic pain, and terminal illness with a prognosis of one year or less.

You book a telehealth appointment with a Veriheal-affiliated West Virginia physician and meet with them for a 10 to 15 minute video call. If approved, you register with the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis through the WV online platform.

You submit a $50 fee, a digital photo for your card, a photo ID, proof of West Virginia residency, and proof of income or hardship-waiver eligibility if applicable. Cards typically arrive 30 to 60 days after the state approves your application and receives payment.

A patient must be a West Virginia resident with a valid driver’s license or state identification card. The state charges $50 for annual registration, which is separate from your Veriheal recommendation fee and must be renewed each year at the same price.

A caregiver must be a West Virginia resident, at least 21 years old, and prove state address with a valid driver’s license or ID. Caregivers submit an application online for a medical cannabis identification card and undergo a criminal history background check.

Possession limits are open-ended, with medical cannabis patients allowed to possess up to a 30-day supply based on the physician’s recommended amount. Physicians generally recommend no more than 6 ounces over a rolling 30-day period.

Cultivation of medical cannabis for personal use is illegal in West Virginia. Patients must purchase from licensed dispensaries.

To renew your West Virginia card through Veriheal, schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians who can confirm you still qualify. We remind you when renewal is near, and our Customer Service Department can apply a renewal discount.

A West Virginia medical marijuana card is valid for one year.
