Cheap Maryland Medical Marijuana Card Cost
A Maryland medical marijuana card is just $74.99 for the telehealth certification with code 75off (paid only if approved). Maryland's digital state ID card is free, so that $74.99 is effectively the whole cost - and registered patients then buy tax-free at the dispensary.
Maryland medical marijuana card cost, broken down
Maryland is one of the cheapest states to get a medical card: the state digital ID card is free, so the only cost to get certified is the telehealth visit. With code 75off that's just $74.99, and you pay it only if an MCA-registered provider certifies you.
| Cost | Paid to | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Telehealth certification fee (with code 75off) | Telehealth provider | $74.99 |
| Digital patient ID card | Maryland Cannabis Administration | $0 |
| Optional physical ID card | Maryland Cannabis Administration | $25 |
| Total to get certified | $74.99 |
How a Maryland medical card saves on cannabis taxes
The savings don't stop at the free card. Registered medical patients buy tax-free at Maryland dispensaries, while adult-use (recreational) buyers pay a 9% cannabis sales and use tax. The exemption covers purchases up to the amount your provider certifies, so for anyone who buys regularly that tax break can quickly outweigh the $74.99 certification.
| Item | Medical patient | Adult-use buyer |
|---|---|---|
| State cannabis sales tax (9%) | Exempt | Applies |
| Minimum age | 18 | 21 |
| Higher-potency / medical-only products | Yes | Limited |
Registered patients also get higher purchase amounts and priority access. Dispensaries set their own product prices; the tax exemption applies up to your certified amount.
How to get your Maryland medical marijuana card
Frequently asked questions
What is the total cost of a Maryland medical marijuana card?
Just $74.99 for the telehealth certification with code 75off (paid only if approved). Maryland's digital patient ID card is free, so unless you order the optional $25 physical card, $74.99 is the whole cost.
Is there a state fee for a Maryland medical card?
The digital card is free. The only state charge is an optional $25 fee for a physical MCA ID card - hospice patients have even that waived. Most patients just use the free digital card.
Do medical patients save on taxes in Maryland?
Yes. Adult-use cannabis carries a 9% sales and use tax, but medical cannabis is tax-exempt for registered patients (up to the amount your provider certifies) - so the card pays for itself for regular buyers.
Is the Maryland fee paid to the doctor or the state?
The $74.99 with code 75off is the telehealth certification, paid to the provider only if you're approved. Maryland's optional $25 physical card fee, if you want one, is paid to the MCA.
Does a Maryland medical card cost recur each year?
Your registration lasts six years, but you recertify with a provider annually - so your recurring cost is the $74.99 certification with code 75off, not a new state fee.
