Can You Get a Medical Marijuana Card for Multiple Sclerosis in Maryland?

Yes. Multiple Sclerosis is explicitly listed as a qualifying condition in Maryland under the Maryland Cannabis Administration. A licensed Maryland physician can certify any patient with a documented Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.

Bring any records that document your Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis: provider notes, specialist reports, imaging, prior treatment summaries, or a current medication list. A Maryland-licensed physician must confirm the diagnosis during your evaluation, so the more complete your documentation, the smoother the certification.

Patients with Multiple Sclerosis commonly seek medical marijuana for symptoms including numbness, muscle weakness, vision problems, fatigue, coordination issues. The cannabinoid profile (THC, CBD, terpenes) that works best varies by patient; this is something your evaluating physician and your dispensary pharmacist will help you titrate.

The certifying physician confirms a documented Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, reviews relevant medical records, and issues the certification through the Maryland Cannabis Administration system. Because Multiple Sclerosis is explicitly listed, no additional symptom mapping is needed.

Yes. Maryland permits telehealth certifications for Multiple Sclerosis, so your evaluation with a Maryland-licensed physician can be completed by secure video or phone from home. The physician will confirm your Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis from your records and clinical interview.

Maryland medical marijuana certifications are valid for 6 years (annual certification required). Multiple Sclerosis patients renew on the same 6 years (annual certification required) cadence, regardless of which qualifying pathway initially supported the certification.
