Washington, D.C. Medical Marijuana Card: Common Questions (2026)
Your guide to the most common questions about the Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card.
How do I get a medical marijuana card in Washington D.C.?
To get a Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card, complete a secure online application with your personal details and D.C. ID. Applicants ages 18–20 must include a healthcare provider recommendation, while minors apply through a parent or guardian. After a telehealth consultation with a licensed physician, submit your application through the ABCA Medical Cannabis Patient Program. Once approved, you receive your District of Columbia MMJ card, granting legal access to licensed dispensaries, higher possession limits, tax benefits, and home cultivation rights if eligible.
How much does a Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card cost?
There is no state fee to apply for a Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card, as digital registration fees are currently waived by the ABCA. A physical card costs $10 if requested. Patients ages 18–20 must complete a medical evaluation with a licensed physician, which costs $99 at My MMJ Doctor. Once approved, you receive a digital or physical card for legal access to licensed dispensaries.
Can I grow cannabis at home with a Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card?
Yes. Washington, D.C. medical marijuana patients are legally allowed to grow cannabis at home within the city’s plant limits. Adults 21 and older, including cardholders, may cultivate up to 6 plants per person (maximum 3 mature/flowering plants at a time), with a household limit of 12 plants if multiple adults reside together. For patients aged 18–20, home cultivation is an exclusive benefit, as non-patients under 21 are not permitted to grow cannabis. All cultivation must occur in a secure, private location, out of public view, and for personal medical use only.
How long is a Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card valid?
A Washington, D.C. medical marijuana card is valid for two years from the date of issuance. Cardholders must renew through the ABCA portal before expiration to maintain legal access to licensed dispensaries and medical cannabis.
Can I use an out-of-state medical marijuana card in Washington, D.C.?
Washington D.C. does not offer reciprocity for out-of-state medical marijuana cards, so only patients registered with the Washington, D.C. Medical Cannabis Registry can access medical dispensaries and receive specific benefits.
Can you buy marijuana in Washington, D.C., without a medical card?
Not legally. Recreational marijuana cannot be purchased from dispensaries in D.C. Instead, adults 21+ often rely on gifting cannabis from friends, as allowed under Initiative 71.
How long will it take to process my Washington, D.C. medical marijuana application?
Washington, D.C. medical marijuana applications are typically processed within 15–20 business days after submission through the ABCA Medical Cannabis Patient Registration portal. Expedited approvals may be available in certain cases.
