Would I be able to add or become a caregiver for a medical marijuana patient in Maryland?

Yes, patients in Maryland have the option to appoint a caregiver. Caregivers are required to be at least 21 years old. Here’s how to apply as a caregiver:

1. Complete the Caregiver Application: You will need to fill out the specific caregiver form tailored for either adults or minors who need a caregiver. The caregiver registration process for Maryland can be viewed here.
2. Designation by the Patient: Once both the caregiver and the patient are registered, the patient must log into their account to officially designate their chosen caregiver. Note that minors are allowed to have up to two caregivers.
3. Submit the Application: The caregiver registration must be completed online in one sitting, as the system does not allow you to save your progress to complete later.
4. Payment and ID Card: After paying the application fee and upon approval, you will receive your medical marijuana caregiver identification card.

This streamlined process ensures that all necessary steps are completed efficiently online.
