North DakotaVisitors with home-state marijuana cards may apply for North Dakota registration
Visitors with a valid home-state medical marijuana card may apply for North Dakota registration using that card and a matching state ID.
What it does
Nonresidents with a valid medical marijuana card from home may apply using that card and an ID from the same state, instead of a written certification. The department decides whether to approve the application.
Argument forVisitors with a valid home-state card could apply without getting a written certification from a North Dakota provider.
Argument againstA 60-day card may not cover a longer visit, so some visitors could lose access before they leave North Dakota.
More detail
The department may use a visitor’s home-state ID and medical marijuana card instead of a written certification to decide an application. This process is for a nonresident with a valid medical marijuana card from the state where the person lives. The applicant must live in the state that issued both the ID and medical marijuana card. The department may approve or deny the application using those documents. After approving an application, the department must issue the North Dakota card within 30 calendar days. The card is valid for 60 days.
