## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Nonresidents gain short-term medical marijuana cards: benefit, low. Nonresidents with a valid medical marijuana card from their home state can apply for a North Dakota card. They can submit that card and department-approved identification from the same state instead of a written medical certification. The department can approve or deny the application. After approv…
- Marijuana centers gain business information access: benefit, low. North Dakota's health department must respond to written requests from compassion centers or their designees for information provided to third parties. The information must be needed for the center's business operations. Registry records remain confidential, with allowed sharing for registration ch…
- Medical marijuana patients face quantity caps: cost, low. Patients or caregivers acting for them can possess up to 500 milligrams of edible product, even with enhanced dried-marijuana authorization. Edible purchases are capped at 310 milligrams of THC per 30 days. Concentrates and medical cannabinoid products have a combined 6,000-milligram THC cap per 30…

The maximum nonrefundable application fee rises from $25 to $40 for a two-year card; the actual charge can be lower. A minor can receive a fee waiver when a parent or guardian is…

Each serving can contain up to 5 milligrams of THC, and each package up to 50 milligrams. Other approved medical cannabinoid products include solutions, capsules, patches, and topicals. C…
- Remote marijuana evaluations require care records: mixed, low. Medical marijuana certification evaluations no longer have to take place in person. Providers must still review relevant records and fully assess the patient's medical history and current condition. They must keep records supporting certification, continue care for the qualifying condition, and exp…
