If your doctor determines you’re a good candidate for medical cannabis, they’ll issue you a written certification, which can be hand-written or issued through the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority registration portal. You’ll then be able to use this certification to purchase medical marijuana from VA dispensaries.
To obtain a digital validation of your written certification (which is only required for parents/legal guardians and registered agents of a patient whose names don’t appear on that patient’s certification), you can submit a new patient application through the CCA portal. The state charges a $50 fee.
The state of Virginia doesn’t impose a set list of qualifying conditions. Rather, physicians can issue a written certification to any patient with a condition that would benefit from medical cannabis.
Awesome experience. The staff were fast, efficient, courteous, professional and friendly. Definitely the best customer service I’ve had in a long time.

As a registered patient or caregiver, you can purchase a variety of products, including edibles, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, and cannabis flower.

In Virginia, medical marijuana patients must renew their MMJ certifications annually. To renew yours, complete the following steps:
