How much does an Illinois medical marijuana card cost?

An Illinois medical marijuana card has two costs. With code 75off, you pay just $74.99 for the telehealth certification - and only if an Illinois-licensed physician approves you - plus the state registration fee paid to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). Illinois lets you pick a 1-, 2-, or 3-year card, so the state fee runs from $100 to $250.

Veterans and patients on SSDI or SSI pay a reduced state fee of about $50, $100, or $125. Because medical patients are exempt from Illinois's heavy recreational cannabis taxes, frequent buyers often save more than the card costs - see the full breakdown on our Illinois cost page.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Illinois medical marijuana card cost?

$74.99 with code 75off for the telehealth certification (paid only if approved), plus the IDPH state fee - $100, $200, or $250 for a 1-, 2-, or 3-year card. Veterans and people on SSDI or SSI pay about half that.

Can I get an Illinois medical cannabis card online?

Yes. Illinois allows telehealth, so an Illinois-licensed physician can certify you by video; you then apply on the IDPH medical cannabis registry and pick your card term. The whole process is online.

Is an Illinois medical card worth it now that recreational is legal?

For regular buyers, very much. Medical patients skip Illinois's steep recreational cannabis taxes (often 25 to 40 percent), can grow up to 5 plants at home, qualify at 18, and get higher purchase limits - so the card often pays for itself.

How long is an Illinois medical cannabis card valid?

You choose a 1-, 2-, or 3-year card. Your physician certification lasts 3 years, so if you pick a shorter card you can extend it with IDPH without a new doctor visit until the certification expires.

Can I grow my own cannabis with an Illinois medical card?

Yes. Registered Illinois medical patients aged 21 and over may grow up to 5 plants at home - recreational users cannot. The plants must be in a secure, private space out of public view.

Who runs Illinois's medical cannabis program?

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) runs the Medical Cannabis Patient Program under the Compassionate Use Act. A licensed Illinois physician certifies your condition and you register with IDPH.
