How to get your New Jersey medical marijuana card
Our knowledgeable staff members are available to answer your questions about applying for a medical marijuana card in New Jersey. We’ll book your appointment with a certified marijuana doctor so you can obtain the documentation you need to apply for your cannabis card.
New Jersey has strict rules regarding physician’s evaluations for medical marijuana. The Sanctuary will connect you with a cannabis doctor you can build this required relationship with.
Next, you will need to complete an application through the MMP registry. You will need to provide proof of residency, your physician certification, and other pieces of documentation. You will need to renew your I.D. every year.
To legally purchase cannabis in New Jersey, you will need to bring your medical marijuana card to an Alternative Treatment Center (ATC) near you. The MMP has licensed several ATCs throughout New Jersey, with locations in Atlantic City, Montclair, Woodbridge, and more.
New Jersey was the 14th U.S. state to legalize medical marijuana through the passage of the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act (CUMMA) in 2010. Stalled by Gov. Chris Christie and reopened in 2012, New Jersey’s Medical Marijuana Program (MMP) allows registered physicians to evaluate and certify their patients’ needs for medical cannabis, provided they have one of the predefined qualifying conditions. You can purchase medical marijuana at any of the Alternative Treatment Centers legally operating within the state.
