Get Your Virgin Islands Medical Marijuana Card With My MMJ Doctor

The marijuana laws in Virgin Islands permit residents to possess up to 4 ounces of marijuana and cultivate up to 12 cannabis plants. Non-residents are allowed up to three ounces.

For the medical card, patients must be diagnosed with a qualifying condition by a licensed healthcare professional and apply to the Office of Cannabis Regulation.

The bill also made provisions for the licensing and regulation of cultivation, distribution, and caregivers, intending to place the VI at the forefront of the Caribbean wellness industry.

If patients have registered for home cultivation, the allowable amounts of cannabis can be “any combination of 12 plants, mature or immature”. Home cultivation is permitted in one shared, enclosed, and locked space.

Virgin Islands is one of the most cannabis-friendly territories. Here you can access your medical marijuana dosages even if you are not a resident of the Virgin Islands.

Residents

To qualify as a resident of the medical marijuana program of VI, you must live in the territory for 45 days. For residents, VI medical marijuana card costs $50 for one year.

Nonresidents

If you have been in the VI for less than 45 days or plan on coming to the VI as a tourist, you can also get marijuana treatment. Nonresidents must pay $50 for a five-day card, $75 for a ten-day card, or $100 for a 30-day card.

Nonresident Outpatients

If you have been in the Virgin Islands for less than 45 days but are under the supervision of a doctor, you can qualify as an Outpatient. The doctor must be licensed in the USVI. This is for patients wishing to come to the Virgin Islands for marijuana treatment that may not be accessible in their state or country. The cost is the same as the nonresidents.

To be qualified as a patient’s caregiver must:

• Be 21 years old or older;
• Agree to undertake responsibility for managing the treatment plans and well-being of the patient.
