Medical cannabis was legalized in New Jersey in 2010 by Gov. Jon S. Corzine, leading to the development of an efficient medical cannabis program over the past 13 years. Recreational cannabis sales began in April 2022, and the laws are continually being revised and updated.
Legalizing cannabis in New Jersey is significant, as the state has historically been tough on marijuana crimes, with Black users being three and a half times more likely to be arrested than white users.
Recently, Assembly Bill 5323 was passed, allowing certain tax deductions related to the sale, production, or distribution of cannabis products to offset the increased tax burdens placed upon dispensaries by Section 280E of the federal tax code.
New Jersey has a list of qualifying conditions that make residents eligible for a medical cannabis card, including:
Along with having a qualified condition, residents must be at least 18 years old and prove a New Jersey residency.
Begin by scheduling an appointment with a doctor in the FadeMD network. Upon approval by the state-certified physician, you will receive your NJMMP Registry ID and Reference Number. Use these credentials to register with the state of New Jersey at https://njmmp.nj.gov/njmmp/.
On your state application you must upload the following to prove your residency:
Within 30 days, the NJ DOH will contact you via email with your approval information. Upon approval, pay the $50 state registration fee, and your card will arrive by mail in 7-10 business days. Once you have your card, you can legally purchase medical marijuana from local NJ dispensaries.
Elected caregivers must be at least 18 years old, a resident of New Jersey, and agree to help a qualified person use marijuana for medical purposes. Caregivers must submit fingerprints to undergo a background check. Once the caregiver has started internet registration, the fingerprinting forms will be accessible.
Caregivers are required to include:
Caregivers can’t be the physician of the patient. Up to two caregivers can be designated by patients.
New Jersey patients have separate expiration dates for their doctor's certification and state-issued medical marijuana card. The doctor's certification is valid for one year and must be renewed annually, while the state card is valid for two years and is renewed every other year.
To renew your New Jersey medical marijuana certification through FadeMD, schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians. They'll confirm your need for medical cannabis and guide you through the process. We'll remind you when it's time for renewal, or contact our Customer Service Department for assistance and a renewal discount.
Patients and caregivers are now permitted to purchase a maximum of 3 ounces per month for 18 months. Terminally ill patients are exempted from the maximum limits.
Cultivation of cannabis by patients or caregivers is prohibited.
The Justice Department proposed a new rule to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug, which would ease federal restrictions on cannabis if approved. This reclassification would not legalize or decriminalize marijuana nationwide but would place it on the same regulatory level as ketamine and anabolic steroids. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse." The proposed change would recognize marijuana as having "a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence."
The proposal initiates a months-long comment and administrative period before any changes take effect. This follows President Biden's 2022 request for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Justice Department to review marijuana's classification. HHS found credible scientific evidence supporting marijuana's medical use. The notice of proposed rulemaking reflects the attorney general's agreement with HHS's recommendation. President Biden hailed the move as "monumental," emphasizing marijuana policy as a priority of his administration, which has also worked to pardon those convicted of simple possession.
