Mississippi requires an in-person assessment by an MSDH-registered practitioner for a first certification, except for some homebound patients, and Dr. Green Relief has no practitioner registered in Mississippi, so booking online cannot get you a Mississippi certification; start on the MMCP patient page.
How Do You Get a Medical Cannabis Card in Gulfport, MS?
Facts on this page were checked by the Dr. Green Relief editorial team against official sources. The card fees, the Medicaid rate and the fee waiver are from the MMCP fee answer and MSDH Medical Cannabis Rules 2.1.3, 2.1.4 and 2.4.2, the 12 month certification limit from Senate Bill 2748 (2025), and the program rules from the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program and the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act (SB 2095, 2022). Last reviewed November 4, 2026.
The Mississippi State Department of Health, not a clinic, issues your Gulfport medical marijuana card. A registered practitioner certifies your condition, and you apply online.

Getting a Gulfport Medical Marijuana Card takes three steps. A practitioner registered with MSDH examines you in person, unless another practitioner has certified you as homebound or bedbound, and submits your certification. You then apply in the MSDH portal within six months, upload a photo and your Mississippi ID, and pay the $25 fee ($15 with Medicaid). Once approved, your electronic card works at any licensed Mississippi dispensary, and a follow-up visit is due no sooner than six months after certification.

How Do Cannabis Doctors in Gulfport Certify Patients?
Mississippi law sets the same bar for every practitioner who certifies Gulfport patients. The practitioner must hold an unrestricted Mississippi license as a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner or optometrist, register with MSDH every year and finish 8 hours of approved training first. The first exam happens in person in Mississippi, unless another practitioner has certified the patient as homebound or bedbound, and the practitioner must check the state Prescription Monitoring Program before certifying.
Mississippi’s qualifying conditions are set in Miss. Code 41-137-3: cancer, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, muscular dystrophy, glaucoma, spastic quadriplegia, HIV positive status, AIDS, hepatitis, ALS, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, sickle cell anemia, Alzheimer’s, agitation of dementia, PTSD, autism, pain refractory to appropriate opioid management, diabetic or peripheral neuropathy, and spinal cord disease or severe injury, or the treatment of these. A chronic, terminal or debilitating condition, or its treatment, that causes cachexia or wasting syndrome, chronic pain, severe or intractable nausea, seizures or severe and persistent muscle spasms also qualifies. MSDH can add a condition by petition and decides a petition within 60 days. MSDH posts the same list, with the petition form, on its qualifying medical conditions page.
