Maryland Medical Cannabis Card

1. Create an Account and Submit Your State Application
   • Maryland’s medical cannabis program is now run by the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA), formerly the MMCC.
   • OneStop Portal
     • Go to the OneStop Maryland Portal
       • https://onestop.md.gov
     • Create a New Patient Account under “Patients”
       • • You’ll need a valid email address — you must verify it by clicking the link sent to you, or your application won’t be considered.
     • Complete the online demographic application and upload your documents.
2. Required Documents to Upload
   • Gather these documents and scan/photograph them clearly before starting your application:
     • State-Issued Photo ID
     • Passport-Style Digital Photo
       • Taken against a white or cream-colored wall, without glasses or head coverings.
3. Fees & Submission
   • Pay the $25 application fee through the OneStop Portal.
   • Once your account is approved, you’ll receive your MMCC/MCA Patient ID Number and Username — your physician will need these to submit your formal certification.
   • Your registration is valid for 3 years; your physician’s certification must be renewed annually.
4. Approval and Accessing Your Card
   • Wait for Approval
     • Applications are typically processed within 2–4 weeks (often faster).
   • Get Certified
     • Provide your Patient ID Number to your physician so they can certify you in the system.
   • Access Your Card
     • Once certified, log back into the OneStop Portal to access your digital patient ID for use at dispensaries.

Caregiver and Minor Requirements

1. If the patient is a minor (under 18)
   • A parent or legal guardian must register as the patient’s caregiver and receive a Caregiver ID Number before the minor can be certified.
2. If the patient is an adult using a caregiver
   • The caregiver completes a similar registration on the OneStop Portal. Once issued a Caregiver ID Number, the patient adds the caregiver to their account under Add/Remove Caregiver.
   • Both the Patient ID Number and Caregiver ID Number are required at dispensaries.
