Who can apply for a Oregon medical marijuana card?

Most patients qualify by being a Oregon resident with a qualifying medical condition diagnosed and certified by a physician licensed in Oregon. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Medical Marijuana Program maintains the official list of qualifying conditions. Common conditions across most U.S. medical programs include cancer, severe chronic pain, PTSD, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, and certain other debilitating diseases. Always verify your specific condition on the official Oregon list before paying any fees.

How long does the Oregon application process take?

Oregon typically takes approximately 30 days from the time the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Medical Marijuana Program receives a complete application to the issuance of the card. Telehealth physician evaluations through MedicalMarijuanaCards.us usually take 15 to 30 minutes; the longer wait is the state's own review.

What does it cost?

Your costs come from three places: a physician evaluation fee (varies by provider), the Oregon state registration fee of $200 ($60 financial hardship), and dispensary pricing once you are certified. See our Oregon cost breakdown for detailed numbers.

What can Oregon card holders purchase?

Oregon permits the following product forms under its program: flower, edibles, concentrates, topicals; home cultivation permitted. Possession is capped at 24 ounces usable; 6 mature plants and 18 seedlings. Always carry your card when in possession.

When and how do I renew?

The Oregon program renews annually. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Medical Marijuana Program sends renewal reminders by email or mail. You will need a current physician certification at each renewal. See Oregon renewal details.
