MEDICAL CANNABIS: Develops policies, procedures, and regulations that ensure medical cannabis is available to qualifying patients in a safe and effective manner. Oversees all licensing, registration, inspection, and testing measures. Provides relevant program information to patients, providers, growers, dispensers, processors, testing laboratories and caregivers.

Any Maryland resident whose provider approves medical cannabis as a treatment option for a qualifying medical condition is eligible to register with the MMCC as a patient. Patients must register with the MMCC to obtain medical cannabis. Qualifying medical conditions include cachexia, anorexia, wasting syndrome, chronic or severe pain, severe nausea, seizures, severe or persistent muscle spasms, glaucoma, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

**At this time, the cost of medical cannabis is not reimbursable by any private or public insurance plan, Medicare or Medicaid, or through Veterans’ covered plans.**
