The Significance of a
Medical Cannabis Card in Connecticut

Having a medical cannabis card is not solely about legal access; it represents “freedom of choice” in managing your healthcare. Gain peace of mind and legal protection with a medical card.

Enhanced Medical Marijuana Program in Connecticut

In June 2012, Connecticut made a significant stride in healthcare by legalizing medical marijuana, thanks to a Senate bill signed by Governor Dannel Molloy.
Connecticut’s law ensures that patients approved for medical marijuana are safeguarded from adverse legal actions, emphasizing the state’s commitment to their health rights.

Follow these specific guidelines to be compliant:

  • The usual allowance for patients is up to 5 ounces of medical marijuana per month.
  • Patients are required to obtain a medical marijuana card to purchase cannabis from dispensaries, ensuring a secure and regulated process.
  • The state prohibits personal cultivation of cannabis, allowing access to medical marijuana only through approved channels.
  • Connecticut permits medical cannabis use for most parolees and probationers.
The regulations surrounding the use of medical cannabis in Connecticut are designed to prevent misuse, with severe penalties in place for any legal violations.

Recent Enhancements to Connecticut's Medical Marijuana Program

Increased Monthly Allotment

In a recent update, as dictated by Section 28 (c) of RERACA, the Commissioner of Consumer Protection has raised the monthly allowance for medical marijuana for registered patients to 5.0 ounces. This increase aims to ensure patients have sufficient access to their prescribed cannabis. While the registration will continue to display the prior 2.5 ounces, patients can now acquire up to 5.0 ounces at dispensary facilities. It’s important to note that this change doesn’t affect patients whose allotment has been specifically adjusted by their certifying practitioner.

Save Money: CT Eliminates State Registration Fee

Starting from July 1, 2023, Connecticut will remove the state registration fee for both medical marijuana patients and caregivers. This decision is a significant step toward reducing the financial barriers for patients seeking medical cannabis, facilitating easier access to the medication necessary for their health and well-being.
