Effective January 1, 2015, the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act was amended to provide registration identification cards for qualifying patients under 18 years of age, enabling them access to medical cannabis-infused food products for treating or alleviating symptoms associated with one or more debilitating condition. Applicants under 18 years of age must obtain certification from a physician with whom they have a bona-fide relationship and from a reviewing physician. Additionally, parent/custodial parent or legal guardian of the qualifying patient under 18 years of age must serve as the caregiver for the patient.

A designated caregiver is a person who is selected by a qualifying patient as the person authorized on the qualifying patient’s behalf to obtain medical cannabis from a certified medical cannabis dispensary and to dispense and assist in the administration of medical cannabis. Caregivers must enroll in the program. A designated caregiver is issued a medical cannabis registry identification card that allows him/her to possess up to 2.5 ounces of medical cannabis on behalf of their patient. It is not legal for caregivers to consume, by any means, medical cannabis that has been dispensed on behalf of a registered qualifying patient. All necessary application forms may be submitted online or through the mail and can be found on the Forms page of our website and on the medical cannabis program website.
