The Medical Marijuana Use Registry is a database collected by the government containing information about licensed medical marijuana patients. Licensed dispensaries use the database to verify a patient’s or caregiver’s legal status before shipping medical marijuana to a location. This step ensures that only people legally approved to receive medical marijuana are allowed to do so.
Requirements to apply as a medical marijuana patient.
Ensure that you have the most up-to-date and correct information about medical marijuana in Mississippi. A qualified patient is required to:
- Be a permanent resident of Mississippi.
- Be diagnosed by a qualified practitioner.
- Obtain an identification card from the Mississippi Department of Health.
- Renew the card annually after completion of at least a 6-month evaluation.
