• Go to the Medical Cannabis Data Management System (MCDMS) link.
• Selecting “Start New Registration,” you will begin the registration process.
• To register, follow these steps.
• The Department will issue a temporary registry identification card (ID card) through the My.NY.gov account after the approval of applicant’s registration. The temporary identification card may be used with a government-issued photo identification to purchase cannabis until the applicant receives his/her permanent registry identification card (ID card).
• When a practitioner’s certification expires, their registration expires.
• It is necessary to re-register patients and caregivers every time they receive a new certification number.
• Once a new certification number is issued, the patient and caregiver must re-register with the certification program. Medical marijuana products must be purchased at a registered organization’s dispensing facility by patients with their registry ID cards and certifications to obtain approved medical marijuana products from that organization. When caregivers purchase approved medical marijuana products for their patients, they must bring their registry ID cards and patient certifications.

Medical Marijuana in New York: How to Become a Patient

As a medical marijuana patient in New York, you must follow three basic steps. First, you will schedule an appointment with a NY doctor to review your condition(s) and ailment(s). The second step is to receive a medical cannabis recommendation from a medical marijuana doctor licensed in New York and register with the Department of Health once you are evaluated and approved. Once you receive a medical cannabis recommendation, you can submit your NY medical marijuana card application online with the New York Department of Health. The medical marijuana card you will receive in a week will allow you to purchase cannabis from New York dispensaries.

Registry ID card renewal

It is based on the patient’s certification that determines the caregiver’s registry ID card length. Therefore, a caregiver’s and a patient’s registry cards will expire simultaneously. Once a patient’s certification is renewed by their physician and the caregiver’s registry card is renewed, the caregiver can renew the caregiver’s card.

The following two expenses are permitted to be collected from a patient by a designated caregiver:

A patient’s medical marijuana product under the approval of the dispensary must be purchased at the cost of between $100 and $200;

There are also reasonable costs associated with transporting and delivering medical marijuana products to the patients that must be paid for by the patient.

There are also some requirements that each designated caregiver must meet:

• For each certified patient, an ID card must be obtained.
• A maximum of five certified patients may be treated.
• Each certified patient is not allowed to possess more than the allowed amount of medical cannabis at any given time.
• Patients must only possess medical marijuana forms that have been specifically prescribed for their use.
• To deliver medical cannabis to anyone who is not registered as a patient, the individual must not knowingly share, sell, trade, or otherwise deliver the drug.

There are the same reporting requirements for patients mentioned above for providers and returning registry ID cards issued in connection with patients who are no longer eligible for the registry.

Possession/Use Limits and Cultivation

Cannabis may be possessed in various forms by patients and caregivers at home or out in public for up to three ounces. As opposed to the previous 30-day limit, you can now purchase medical cannabis for up to 60 days. The same places where you can smoke cigarettes are also permitted to smoke cannabis:

• At meals or in designated smoking areas in foodservice establishments.
• Federal property.
• The Clean Indoor Air Act prohibits smoking in certain places.
• Cigar bars.

Until the state issues regulations for growing cannabis at home later this year, certified medical marijuana patients could not grow cannabis at home. Cannabis won’t be legal for those over 21 without a medical card until late 2023. A maximum of six cannabis plants will be allowed to a person when they are permitted to grow cannabis, consisting of three immature plants and three mature plants. Furthermore, they will also be able to legally possess up to 5 pounds of cannabis at home. However, outside their homes, they will only be permitted to possess 3 ounces of cannabis.
