Virginia Medical Marijuana FAQs
Can I travel with my Virginia Medical Marijuana?
Marijuana is still illegal under federal law, which means it’s illegal to transport medical marijuana across state lines.
Can I use my Virginia medical marijuana card in other states?
Yes–there are some states that allow patients with Virginia medical marijuana cards to purchase medical marijuana products from their dispensaries. Currently, Washington D.C. is the only territory that allows Virginians to do so without any exceptions. The following states also offer reciprocity, though there are some exceptions:
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- California
- Maine
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- Oklahoma
- Rhode Island
- Utah
Since there are exceptions to those states’ reciprocity laws, make sure you do your research before trying to purchase medical marijuana in those states with your Virginia MMJ card.
Can I use a card from another state to purchase Virginia medical marijuana?
No, you cannot use a medical card from another state to purchase medical marijuana in Virginia. The state of Virginia does not currently have any reciprocity agreements with other states. Other states, however, may accept a Virginia certificate to allow access to their medical marijuana facilities.
Will my insurance cover the cost of my Virginia medical marijuana card?
Some insurance companies may cover the cost of a Virginia medical marijuana card, but it is not required by law. Patients should check with their insurance providers to see if they offer coverage for medical marijuana cards before applying for one. If your provider won’t cover the cost of your card, you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket for it.
Can I get fired for smoking medical marijuana at work?
Employers are not required to accommodate the use of medical marijuana in the workplace. So yes–you can get fired for consuming medical marijuana products at work, even if you obtained them legally. There are specific protections, however, against being terminated, disciplined or discriminated against as a result of an employment drug screen.
How do I become a caregiver in Virginia?
Caregivers purchase and possess medical marijuana products for medical marijuana patients who cannot do so on their own. Caregivers are often qualifying patients’ legal guardians.
If you’re interested in becoming a caregiver for a Virginia medical marijuana patient, there are a few things you need to know. First of all, caregivers must be at least 18 years old and must have not been convicted of a felony within the past five years. They must also be certified by a registered cannabis physician.
To register as a caregiver, you must meet with a ReThink-Rx doctor and receive a specific MMJ certificate that allows you to act on behalf of another patient. Since both the patient and the caregiver must be certified, we make the process easy by scheduling an extended doctor visit during which both the patient and caregiver meet with the doctor online. The card will allow you to purchase medical marijuana products from dispensaries on behalf of your patient.
