The Benefits of a med card in New York

The peace of mind of being legal & compliant
Never worry about getting pulled over or searched again. With an MMJ card, you have the full protection of the law. Tip: even if you’re state has legal recreational use, a medical card grants you stronger legal protections.

A Larger Selection of Safe, Lab-Tested Products
Medical dispensaries often have the biggest and best selection of flowers, concentrates, edibles, and more. Plus, medical cannabis is guaranteed to be thoroughly tested for purity and potency–so you always know what you're getting.

purchase Medical Cannabis When You Travel Out of State
Most medical cannabis states have reciprocity laws that grant card-holders access to shop at dispensaries and the same legal protections that in-state residents have.

Higher Purchase Limits For Cannabis
In states with both medical and recreational cannabis, card holders are able to buy cannabis in much larger quantities, saving you time and money on transportation costs.

Savings On Sales Tax, Every Time You Buy
In states where both medical and recreational cannabis are legal, taxes on medical cannabis are often much lower. Lower taxes = more savings for you.

Other Special Perks & Discounts
With a cannabis card, you're an instant VIP. Many dispensaries have discounts, coupons, special deals, reward programs, and store credit bonuses for their medical MMJ customers.

Excellent service. I was initially was going to see a doc referred by my pcp under large & well known hospital - said office was all over the place and had me wait a week to see a doctor for this. So I sought to find my own doctor and I was so glad I found this place! The entire process with NuggMD took less than 24 hours!!! Fast, efficient, and super professional. HIGHLY recommend.

As someone with chronic pain, and little to no experience with applying for a medical card, I can confidently say this company and its doctors really care. It was so easy to get signed up and all I needed was a brief medical history. I will absolutely be using their services in the future and I 100% recommend to anyone trying to get their medical card in NY state!
