  • Will California honor my out-of-state (Non-CA) medical marijuana card?

    Short answer, No. Surprisingly, California does not offer reciprocity to out-of-state cardholders. 


    However, residency is not a requirement to apply for the state’s medical marijuana program, thus, visiting cardholders may obtain one while in the state.


    Getting a medical cannabis card is a quick and efficient process, that can be issued the same day as the appointment. Pro tip: you may be able to use telemedicine to obtain a California medical marijuana card in advance of your visit.
