Even with recreational cannabis legal, a medical card provides significant advantages worth considering.
A medical marijuana card unlocks exclusive benefits that recreational users don't get. Here's how it makes a difference for you:
Pay only 3.5% tax on medical cannabis compared to 13% for recreational purchases—a 9.5% savings on every order.
As a medical cardholder aged 21+, you can grow up to 6 plants (3 mature) per person or 12 plants (6 mature) per household.
Medical patients can possess a 60-day supply as prescribed by their doctor, far exceeding the recreational limit.
Get specialized, high-potency cannabis products tailored for medical patients, often with higher THC or CBD levels.
You can apply for a medical card if you're 18 or older, unlike recreational cannabis, which is restricted to those 21+.
Enjoy workplace rights and housing security that recreational users don't have.

Since 2022, New York no longer requires specific qualifying conditions for medical cannabis. Doctors can now recommend cannabis for any condition they believe it will help—from chronic pain and anxiety to sleep disorders and more. You must be a New York resident and either 18+ to apply independently or have a designated caregiver if you're under 18.
We've designed a process that's quick, clear, and stress-free. Here's how it works:
Create your NYMarijuanaCard account in about 5 minutes. Share basic personal details and a brief summary of your health condition.
Schedule a virtual consultation with a New York-licensed doctor at a time that fits your schedule.
During a 15-minute video call, your doctor will evaluate your needs. If approved, you'll get a digital certification instantly.
