We’re here to make the process of getting your medical marijuana card as easy and stress-free as possible. Check out the answers to common questions below to learn more about how we can help.

  • Q: How long does it take to receive my medical cannabis card?
    A: After submitting your completed application, the state typically processes and issues cards within 5–10 business days.
  • Q: Can I legally own a gun if I have a medical marijuana card?
    Yes under state law, but not under federal law. While Mississippi allows medical marijuana patients to own and carry firearms, federal law still prohibits any cannabis user from owning or purchasing guns, even if the use is legal under state law.
  • Q: Do I need to bring anything to my appointment?
    A: Yes, please bring a valid Mississippi photo ID and any relevant medical records. If you're applying for a military discount, be sure to bring proof of service.
  • Q: How do I get my medical cannabis card?
    A: The process includes three steps: Schedule an evaluation with a certified medical provider. If approved, you’ll receive a recommendation to apply for your card. Submit your application to the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program and pay the state fee.
  • Q: Will getting a medical marijuana card in Mississippi affect my concealed carry permit?
    No, not under Mississippi law. Having a medical cannabis card will not impact your ability to obtain or keep a state-issued concealed carry permit. Mississippi law does not prohibit firearm ownership or carry for registered medical cannabis patients.
  • Q: Who qualifies for a medical cannabis card in Mississippi?
    A: To qualify, you must be a Mississippi resident with a qualifying medical condition certified by a licensed practitioner. Conditions include chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, and others approved by the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program.
  • Q: Can I use telehealth for my evaluation or renewal?
    A: Yes! We offer telehealth appointments for 6-month reevaluations. Initial exams may require an in-person visit depending on state guidelines and your condition.
