New Jersey Medical Marijuana Card FAQ
Can Anyone Walk Into a Dispensary in NJ?
Adults 21 and older can shop at licensed recreational dispensaries without a medical card. For the medical menu, patients normally use their NJ medical ID. New patients with doctor authorization who have started state registration can shop at a medical dispensary with a government-issued ID while their application is under review.
Is medical marijuana tax free in New Jersey?
Yes, medical cannabis has been exempt from New Jersey's state sales tax since July 1, 2022, while adult-use purchases pay the 6.625% state sales tax. Some towns can add a local tax of up to 2%. On $200 a month, the state tax exemption saves you about $159 a year.
Can I get a New Jersey medical marijuana card online?
Yes, you can see a New Jersey-licensed doctor registered with the state program online from home. After your online visit, the doctor gives you a reference ID and a registry ID. You then register in the state patient portal and choose the free digital patient card.
When am I charged?
We place a temporary hold when you book, so you may see a pending charge. You're only charged if the doctor approves you. If you cancel or miss your appointment, the temporary hold expires in 5 days and you are not charged. New Jersey charges no state fee for your digital patient card, and HSA cards are accepted.
How much medical cannabis can I buy in New Jersey?
Registered patients can buy up to 3 ounces every 30 days, and the doctor sets the amount on your authorization. Patients with a terminal illness have no monthly limit. You buy at the dispensary you choose in the patient portal, and you can change that choice later.
Do medical patients get protected access at New Jersey dispensaries?
Yes. The Cannabis Regulatory Commission says dispensaries that sell medicinal cannabis must give patients priority service, and medical cannabis is prioritized over adult-use sales. How a store does that can vary, so ask your dispensary how it serves medical patients. Registered patients also shop the medical menu at 0% state sales tax.
