Using Your West Virginia Medical Cannabis Card in Other States
West Virginia does not accept medical cannabis cards issued by other states, so out-of-state patients cannot purchase products within West Virginia’s program. However, a West Virginia medical marijuana card can be used in several other states and territories that recognize visiting patients. This means a registered West Virginia patient may purchase medical cannabis in certain legal markets while traveling, depending on local program rules.
Some states, such as Arkansas, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Utah, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, require visitors to complete a short “visiting patient” application before buying products.
Other locations, including Arizona, Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Washington D.C., and in some cases Michigan, allow access based on the validity of your West Virginia card and compliance with their local guidelines.
Because reciprocity rules can change, patients should review each state’s requirements before traveling to confirm what products they can legally purchase and possess.
