Schedule an Annual Physician Appointment: Meet with a West Virginia-registered physician, either online or in person, to review the patient’s current condition and determine whether continued certification is appropriate.

Receive Updated Certification: If the physician confirms continued eligibility, the renewed certification is submitted as part of the state renewal process.

Review Account Information: Patients should log into the application portal and make sure their personal details, address, contact information, and documents are current.

Submit the Renewal Application and Payment: Patients must create and submit a patient renewal application through the portal and provide payment by mail or online ACH unless a financial hardship waiver is requested and approved.

Continue Dispensary Access: Once renewal is approved, Martinsburg patients may continue purchasing medical cannabis from licensed West Virginia dispensaries with an active card and valid ID.

How Long Is Medical Cannabis Certification Valid in Martinsburg?

West Virginia medical cannabis cards are renewed annually. Patients may attend their annual physician appointment and submit a renewal application no earlier than 60 days before the card expires. Renewing before expiration helps prevent a lapse in dispensary access.
