More than 90% of people will say pain is their primary complaint when seeking relief with Medical Marijuana. According to Utah law, pain is a qualifying condition if it lasts longer than two weeks and is not controlled with typical medication, like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, or physical therapy.

In 2022, lawmakers added acute pain as a qualifying condition. This is pain that is expected to last for two weeks or longer for an acute condition or surgical procedure in which a medical professional may generally prescribe opioids for a limited duration.

The next most common qualifying condition is PTSD, a condition that requires a formal PTSD diagnosis from the VA, a psychiatrist, a masters-level psychologist, a psychiatric APRN, or a masters-level LCSW aswell as concurrent treatment by a licensed health therapist. Our Canna-Therapy program offers integrated treatment for PTSD patients.

Persistent nasuea is also a qualifying condition, qualified medical providers will often prescribe Medical Marijuana to cancer patients to help them manage persistent nausea after chemotherapy. However, nausea related to pregnancy does not currently qualify a patient for a Medical Marijuana Card in Utah. As a medical community, we do not yet have enough information about how marijuana could possibly adversely affect the baby during gestation and beyond.

To get your Medical Marijuana Card evaluation, schedule an appointment with one of our experts today.

If you feel comfortable, we recommend contacting your primary care provider or existing pain specialist first to see if they are qualified to recommend Medical Marijuana for you. If your providers are unwilling, don’t know enough about it, or feel uncomfortable prescribing Medical Cannabis as part of your treatment plan, there are qualified medical providers who can help.

Even though it is legal, some providers might not be willing or able to recommend Medical Marijuana as a treatment option. You should look for a provider with in-depth knowledge about Medical Marijuana safety, benefits, delivery methods, and dosing to help with your particular condition.

Our team of Medical Marijuana experts can help you through every step of the process, from your initial consultation to finding relief through precise dosages, strains, and CBD to THC ratio.

First, you’ll need to reserve an appointment. Make sure to choose a qualified medical provider (QMP) in Utah willing to recommend Medical Marijuana, who carries the appropriate malpractice insurance, like KindlyMD.

Pro tip: ask if your clinic of choice accepts your insurance or if they require you to pay for your visit out of pocket. Most pain clinics, primary care providers, and Medical Marijuana specialists require you to pay out of pocket. Your first clinic visit allows the practitioner to establish a relationship, assess your condition and treatment goals, and write your recommendation. As of November 2023, KindlyMD can accept certain insurance plans for card visits — call for details.

Then, you will usually need to fill out an intake form. Depending on your qualifying condition, many providers require you to provide documentation showing that you have received, or are receiving, treatment for your condition.

Our team of Medical Marijuana experts makes it quick and easy. We are happy to walk you through every step of the process, from your initial visit to registering with the Utah Department of Health, through each of your renewals and beyond.

Many people use CBD-dominant marijuana strains that include a small amount of THC to help manage their anxiety and depression, but these medical conditions are not currently included in the Utah law as qualifying conditions. In these cases, you and your medical provider can petition the Compassionate Use Board for a Medical Marijuana Card.

Some patients who use Medical Cannabis to treat pain or persistent nausea find that their anxiety, depression, and insomnia improve as a side effect of their treatment.

We have been contacted by a lot of patients who can’t find a qualified medical provider willing to write them a recommendation for Medical Marijuana. If your provider is unable to recommend a card, they might not have the proper qualifications outlined in Utah law. Some providers may have limited knowledge of Medical Marijuana and its therapeutic benefits, or even not feel comfortable helping patients find their just-right dosage, strain, or CBD to THC ratio.

Yes. CBD is legal for anyone to purchase and possess as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. These plants are considered hemp because they have almost no THC in them.

Patients between the ages of 18 and 21 also get a patient card but need approval from the Compassionate Use Board before it is issued.

Anybody under the age of 18 who uses Medical Marijuana will receive a Provisional Patient Card. These are issued along with a Guardian Card for the parent or guardian of that patient.

The last type of card is a Caregiver Card, given to adults (21 years or older) who care for someone unable to use or buy Medical Marijuana on their own.

Medical Marijuana Cards in Utah expire on a 6-month or 1-year basis. Every first-time cardholder will need to schedule a follow-up appointment in order to renew the card after six months. This can seem inconvenient, but checking in again gives your provider the opportunity to adjust your dosages, strains, and even recommend different delivery methods if needed.

At KindlyMD, we walk you through every step, from the initial visit through each renewal.
