HOW TO GET
A Nevada Medical
Marijuana Card

Here, in four steps, is how to

Get a Nevada Medical Marijuana Card.
Residents only, 14 conditions, a $50 or $100 state fee.

To get a medical marijuana card in Nevada, you must be a Nevada resident with one of 14 qualifying conditions. A provider licensed in Nevada must sign your application, and you apply on the state’s online portal with the state fee of $50 for 1 year or $100 for 2 years. The provider can sign only when your condition is on the state list. Dr. Green Relief has a Las Vegas office, and our staff help Nevada patients fill in the application on the Division’s cardholder portal.

Step one, before the state portal:

Schedule your appointment with a Marijuana Doctor licensed in Nevada to receive your initial certification.

After a Nevada-licensed provider signs your Attending Healthcare Provider Statement, we help you fill in your application on the state’s cardholder portal to obtain your State issued medical card. Once the Division approves it, you may legally buy, possess and use medical cannabis within Nevada’s limits. Money-back guarantee: if the physician does not certify you at an in-person evaluation at our Las Vegas office, your evaluation fee is refunded. The Nevada registry card fee ($50 for 1 year or $100 for 2 years) is paid to the state and is not part of this refund.

GET EVALUATED
BY A NEVADA-LICENSED DOCTOR

Your Nevada application starts with a provider who confirms that your condition is one of the 14 on the state list and signs your Attending Healthcare Provider Statement. Nevada issues medical cannabis cards to Nevada residents only. Nevada medical dispensaries may serve visitors who show proof that they are authorized under the medical cannabis law of their home state (NRS 678C.470).

NEVADA MARIJUANA CARD REGISTRY APPLICATION

The next step is the Nevada registry application, which needs your provider’s signed Attending Healthcare Provider Statement. You upload the packet and pay the state fee on the Division’s portal, or mail it. We help you fill in your state application before you submit it.

MARIJUANA CARD

Patients holding a valid Nevada Medical Marijuana Card will be able to legally obtain their medical marijuana at licensed dispensaries. Card holding patients may legally possess and use medical cannabis in Nevada, and may grow it only in limited cases set by state law. In a state where adults 21 and older can buy cannabis, a card still matters: it skips the 10% retail excise tax at dual licensed stores and gives residents under 21 with a qualifying condition, who cannot buy at adult-use stores, a legal path to medical cannabis (under age 10, Nevada issues a letter of approval instead of a card).

Qualifying Medical Conditions

AIDS / HIV
Seizures
Cancer
Severe Or Chronic Pain
Glaucoma
Nausea
Anorexia Or Cachexia
Anxiety Disorder
Muscle Spasms

Nevada’s list has 14 conditions in all. It also includes autism spectrum disorder, autoimmune disease, dependence upon or addiction to opioids and neuropathic conditions, and the Division can add more by regulation or petition (NRS 678C.030).
Las Vegas office visits: evaluation fee refunded if the doctor does not certify you.

Scheduling Your Nevada Medical Marijuana Card Evaluation:

To schedule your Nevada medical marijuana card evaluation, call (702) 707-2414; staff can answer questions and set up your appointment. You may schedule your appointment online 24/7.

Gather Your Medical Records:

Bring along any medical records you have that relate to your condition. The Las Vegas medical marijuana doctor who evaluates you will review your medical history at your visit, and records help most when they include:

Clear diagnosis of a chronic condition
Progress notes/treatment history
List of medications prescribed

Bring Along A Valid Nevada Photo ID Or Drivers License

The Nevada Marijuana Card Program is only available to Nevada Residents. A valid Nevada License or ID is required when submitting your completed Nevada Marijuana Card application to the state for processing.

Get Evaluated By The Doctor

Nevada requires the provider who signs your application to hold a Nevada license in good standing. A provider who sees you by telehealth must also be licensed in Nevada (NRS 629.515). The Nevada license rule applies to every Nevada medical marijuana card evaluation, in person or by video (NRS 678C.220).

What To Expect After Your Nevada Medical Marijuana Card Evaluation

After a Las Vegas Marijuana Doctor licensed in Nevada recommends medical marijuana for you, you will begin the process of enrolling in the Nevada Marijuana Card Registry Program. To begin, you create a profile on the state’s online cardholder portal, and we help you complete the application. The doctor will sign the “Attending Healthcare Provider Statement” for either a 1 year or 2 year card after recommending it. The next step is to submit the packet to the state of Nevada for processing with the state fee for the card term your provider chose. Processing time varies with the state’s volume, and after approval your card should arrive by mail within 7 to 10 business days. Once approved, you will receive an approval letter good for 60 days. This state approval letter can be used at the dispensary immediately.

90 Day Verifiable Physician’s Statement

Your Las Vegas Marijuana Doctor can give you a 90-day verifiable physician’s statement for your records. This statement is for your records and can not be used to obtain your medication at the Las Vegas dispensaries. Las Vegas medical dispensaries may serve you on a registry card, the state’s 60 day approval letter, or the copy of your pending application that the state returns to you. The statement records that you were evaluated and that the provider recommended medical cannabis for your condition. It does not replace the state application. Once you have applied, Nevada treats you as a cardholder until the Division decides, and the copy of your application it returns to you is your proof (NRS 678C.220).

Temporary Nevada Medical Marijuana Approval Letter

Once approved, the State of Nevada can issue patients an approval letter good for 60 days. The approval letter issued by the state will be accepted by Las Vegas Dispensaries and you will be able to obtain your medication once you receive the approval letter from the state while you are waiting for your state issued Nevada Medical Marijuana Card. You will receive your Nevada State-issued Medical Marijuana Card in the mail to your home address.

Purchasing Medical Marijuana In Las Vegas, Nevada

A Nevada card is for use in Nevada: the state has no agreements with other states to honor it elsewhere. Each state has different laws. Nevada treats a gift differently from a sale. In Nevada, selling cannabis without a license is illegal, though an adult 21 or older may give another adult up to 2.5 ounces for free if the gift is not advertised. Patients who buy medical marijuana must buy it at state-approved and licensed Las Vegas Marijuana dispensaries. By using illegal delivery services, patients risk prosecution and may receive product that never went through state lab testing. Unlicensed delivery services operate outside Nevada’s licensing rules, so no state standard governs how they handle what they sell. Licensed Las Vegas dispensaries sell product that falls under Nevada’s lab testing rules. A lot that fails a microbial, residual solvent, pH, water activity or homogeneity test may be remediated with Board approval, but it must then pass every required test or be destroyed (NCCR 11.075).

State Registry

The Nevada Medical Marijuana Card Registry Program

The Nevada Marijuana Card Registry is a confidential state database used to verify your status as a medical marijuana patient in Nevada. To be eligible, you must be a Nevada resident with a condition on the state list and have the signature of an attending provider who is licensed in Nevada and responsible for your care. Dr. Green Relief staff help patients fill in their Nevada Marijuana Card Registry application. The Division, not Dr. Green Relief, decides whether to approve it.

How To Enroll In The Nevada Marijuana Card Registry Program

Initial Evaluation: A Las Vegas Marijuana Doctor licensed in Nevada will evaluate you and review your medical history. At that time the doctor will discuss the risks and benefits associated with using medical marijuana for your condition and make a recommendation for the use of cannabis accordingly.
Nevada Marijuana Registry Card Application: Next comes your application to the Nevada medical marijuana registry, which the Division of Public and Behavioral Health runs. This process now starts online. You scan the back of your Nevada driver’s license or ID to register on the state’s cardholder portal, then download and print your application. The packet is simple and consists of the following pages:
- Applicant Information
- Attending Healthcare Provider Statement
- Waiver Of Liability Release
- Acknowledgement
Submit Completed Packet To State For Processing: After your packet is complete, you upload it on the state’s portal, or mail it, with the state fee of either $50 for a 1-year card or $100 for a 2-year card.
Receive State Approval Letter: Once your Nevada Marijuana Card Registry packet is successfully processed and approved by the State, you will receive your State approval letter good for 60 days. You will now be able to access the dispensaries to obtain your medical marijuana. Your Nevada Medical Marijuana Card issued by the State will arrive at your home address and will be valid for either 1 or 2 years depending on the term your provider certified.

Nevada Medical Marijuana Card Processing Time:

The state does not publish a processing time, and its approval letter can be used at dispensaries right away and for 60 days. The amount of time it takes to process your Nevada Marijuana Card application can vary based on the amount of volume the state is processing at the time your application is received.

Contacting The Nevada Division Of Public & Behavioral Health:

If you need to ask the state about your application status or a general question, you can reach the Registry by phone, mail or fax. If you are unable to get ahold of someone at the state office by phone, please be sure to leave them a voicemail with your information. The Registry also takes email at [email protected], and changes to your information must be sent in writing, not by phone.

Reasons For Application Denial

Providing false or incomplete information on your application
Leaving out the Attending Healthcare Provider Statement signed by your provider
Leaving out the signed Waiver and Acknowledgment pages
If the physician backing your application is not licensed or not in good standing
If you are under eighteen (18) and your parent or guardian did not sign the required statement for your application
If you or your designated primary caregiver previously had a card revoked for giving false information
If you do not provide proof that you are a Nevada resident
If you have failed to follow any regulations mandated by the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health
If the Division of Public and Behavioral Health has previously prohibited you from obtaining a Registry Identification Card.

Reapplying If You Are Denied

If your application for your Nevada Medical Marijuana Card is denied, you can reapply after six (6) months have passed since the date your application was denied. The Division or a court can allow you to reapply sooner. (NRS 678C.220) If you are accepted and receive your Nevada Medical Marijuana Card but your membership is later revoked, then you may not reapply for another twelve (12) months. (NRS 678C.240) Check that your application is complete before you submit it, because missing information is a ground for denial (NRS 678C.220).

Confidentiality

The Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health maintains the confidentiality of all applicants to the Nevada Medical Marijuana Program, including the identity of the medical marijuana user, the user’s designated primary caregiver, and the user’s physician. The law names two exceptions (NRS 678C.800): police may ask the Division only whether your card is valid, and an applicant on parole or probation is reported to the Division of Parole and Probation.
