How to Get a Virginia Medical Marijuana Card
Be a part of the countless individuals who rely on Bluebird Wellness for their medical marijuana card recommendations. Rest assured that if your application is not approved, you will receive a guaranteed refund.
To apply for a medical marijuana card in Virginia, you must be at least 18 years old and have a medical cannabis certification from an approved practitioner. After obtaining the certification, visit the Virginia Board of Pharmacy Initial Application Site to start the application process. You will need various documents, including the written medical cannabis certification, proof of residency, proof of identity, and proof of age. In Virginia, healthcare providers, including physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, can issue medical cannabis certifications to qualified patients. Minors are not issued medical marijuana cards but can access medical cannabis with the help of designated caregivers. Individuals aged 21 and above can grow up to four marijuana plants per household for personal use, but selling or distributing home-grown marijuana is not allowed.
Patients visiting a medical marijuana dispensary in Virginia need a valid Virginia-issued identification, a medical marijuana card (although optional from July 1, 2022), and a printed copy of their active Virginia medical marijuana certification.

Can You Grow Medical Marijuana in Virginia?
Yes, individuals aged 21 or older in Virginia have the legal right to cultivate up to four marijuana plants at their primary residence. To ensure compliance with the law, growers must take measures to prevent visibility from public areas and restrict access to those under 21. Proper steps should be taken to manage the odor from the cultivation area. Each cultivated marijuana plant must be tagged with the grower’s details, including name, driver’s license or identification number, and a note indicating it’s for personal use.
Home-grown marijuana cannot be sold or distributed, and manufacturing marijuana concentrate from personally cultivated plants is not permitted in Virginia.
Does Virginia Allow Medical Marijuana Patients to Designate Caregivers?
Yes, Virginia permits minors and incapacitated adults to appoint caregivers, known as registered agents under the state’s medical marijuana program. A registered agent is an individual designated by a patient with a valid medical marijuana certification or, for minors or incapacitated adults, designated by their parent or legal guardian and approved by the Virginia Board of Pharmacy.
Registered agents can assist patients with purchasing, transporting, and administering medical marijuana. However, each registered agent is limited to serving a maximum of two patients. To act as a caregiver or registered agent, individuals must go through the registration process and obtain approval from the Virginia Board of Pharmacy.
