The Benefits of New York’s Medical Cannabis Program

If you’re living in New York and exploring cannabis as part of your health and wellness routine, now is the perfect time to consider getting certified as a medical patient. With expanded access, cost-saving benefits, and exclusive perks, New York’s medical marijuana program offers patients more than ever before.

  • Who Can Qualify?

    Getting certified as a medical cannabis patient in New York is easier than ever. There are no specific qualifying conditions, any patient who a medical professional deems could benefit from cannabis can be approved.

    You can complete your certification online through a quick telemedicine appointment with trusted providers like:

    • Leafwell
    • Veriheal
    • NuggMD

    Once certified, you can start shopping immediately. Certifications are valid for up to one year, and some clinics even offer discounted renewals.

  • Save Big with a Medical Card

    One of the most compelling reasons to become a certified patient? Tax savings. Medical cannabis is tax-free, which means you save up to 13% on every purchase.

    Example:

    • Recreational Purchase: $200 + 13% tax = $226
    • Medical Purchase: $200 = $200 flat

    Over time, those savings add up, especially for regular consumers.

  • Discounts & Rewards

    As a medical patient, you’re eligible for even more savings and perks:

    Everyday Discounts:

    • 10% off for seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities, or those with financial hardship (Medicaid)
    • 15% off your first medical purchase
    • $10 birthday credit

    Ongoing Promos & Loyalty:

    • Access to exclusive monthly promotions and sales
    • Rewards Program: Earn 1 point for every $1 spent
      (Redeemable on both medical and recreational menus)

  • Age Access & Caregiver Support

    Unlike recreational use (21+), medical certification is available to:

    • Patients 18 and older
    • Minors with a designated caregiver (parent/guardian)

    Patients can also assign up to five caregivers to:

    • Purchase on their behalf
    • Accept deliveries
    • Transport medical cannabis

START YOUR HEALING JOURNEY!

What Are the Qualifying Conditions?

You may be eligible for the use of medical cannabis for any condition deemed clinically appropriate by your health care provider. Please talk to your health care provider about whether medical cannabis may help you. 

Speak with your physician

The first step is speaking with your treating health care provider about whether the medical use of cannabis is appropriate for your condition. Your health care provider may issue you a certification if medical cannabis is an appropriate treatment for you.

Fill Your Recommendation

Patients seeking access to medical cannabis should first go to their health care provider. If a patient’s health care provider does not already certify patients for the use of medical cannabis and would like to, they can find information on the OCM website.

NOTE: Patients under the age of 18 or incapable of consent are required to have one designated caregiver who will be auto-registered at the time of certification by the certifying health care provider.  The caregiver will be able to bring the patient’s certification, the caregiver registry ID and their government-issued photo ID to the dispensary. 

Schedule your delivery

Registered organizations may only manufacture medical cannabis products in forms approved by the Office of Cannabis Management. Some examples of medical cannabis products that are available are vape cartridge/pen, capsule/tablets, tincture, oral spray, oral powder, lozenges, metered ground plant preparation for vaporization, whole flower cannabis for vaporization and transdermal patches. Seeds and immature plants for home cultivation are also available for sale to certified patients or their designated caregivers at some registered organizations dispensing locations. Patients should contact registered organizations directly to learn what products they have available. More information about registered organizations can be found here.
