Medical marijuana can provide relief from a variety of health issues. However, in most states, you need to be at least 18 years old to get access to medical marijuana. With a medical marijuana card, you can get access to medical marijuana to treat your health condition. In this article, we will cover qualifying conditions and age requirements for medical marijuana.
A medical marijuana card is issued by your state’s Department of Public Health. It certifies you to possess certain amounts of low-THC products. Sometimes, it is referred to as medical marijuana (MMJ) or medical marijuana identification (MMIDU). However, you need to have a proper certification from a doctor to get a medical marijuana card. Qualifying conditions for medical marijuana cards include:
In most states, such as California, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan, the minimum age requirement for a medical marijuana card is 18 years old. Unlike alcohol, you are not required to be 21 for a medical marijuana card. Minors can get medical marijuana products if they have qualifying health issues, but only under certain conditions.
In Georgia, minors can get access to medical marijuana products. However, their caregiver must apply for the card and purchase products on their behalf. Here are some of the requirements for minors to get a medical marijuana card here in Georgia.
Here, we have listed some of the conditions that caregivers need to meet to be eligible for a medical marijuana card:
The Georgia Department of Public Health manages the low THC oil registry. This registry allows physicians to certify patients with qualifying conditions. If you are a qualified Georgia patient or caregiver, you will be provided with a personalized low THC Oil Card. This card allows patients with a qualifying medical condition to purchase and possess up to 20 fluid ounces of low THC oil.
The Low THC Oil Registry legally protects you and your caregiver and allows you to possess low THC oil without any fear of prosecution. However, you need to make sure to comply with Gerogia’s regulations. To apply for the registry, you must be 18 years of age or older and have a physician’s certification. If you are under 18, your legal guardian or parents must apply on your behalf.
Receiving a medical marijuana card is a regulated process with specific age requirements that can differ by state. You must be 18 years old to apply for an MM card, have a qualifying medical condition, and be approved by a licensed physician.
