There are 14 Medical Cannabis pharmacies are open and operating. For more information, check out our dispensary page.

A 15th pharmacy license has been awarded to Dragonfly Wellness, but that pharmacy is not yet operating. We will provide updates as they become available.

We do not take insurance. This is mostly due to the fact that cannabis use is not legal across the country. Insurance companies follow federal guidelines, so they will not cover the clinic visit or the marijuana itself. You can usually pay for your consultation with your FSA or HSA card, cash, or any major credit or debit card, but you must buy your Medical Marijuana at the dispensary with cash or with the mobile app Hypurs.

Our team of dedicated healthcareprofessionals and Utah Medical Marijuana Card experts can guide you through every step of the process. First, you’ll need to schedule a consultation. You can also give us a call at 801-851-5554 if you have any questions about qualifying conditions, or to schedule your consultation over the phone.

Smoking marijuana is not allowed in Utah, but patients may purchase a Medical Marijuana device that warms marijuana into a vapor without the use of a flame, delivering marijuana to an individual’s respiratory system (such as a vaporizer or an electric dabbing rig). Although smoking Medical Marijuana is prohibited in Utah, vaping it is legal.

The law prohibits purchasing candies, cookies, brownies, and other edible products.

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.

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. We will even speak to your primary care providers about drug interactions if needed. Our mission is to help patients reach their wellness goals. Let us know if we can help you reach yours.

First, you’ll need to make 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 Utah Therapeutic Health Center.

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.

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.

Our team of qualified medical providers can recommend a Medical Marijuana Card to qualified patients. To see if you qualify, schedule a consultation or call/text our UTHC experts at (801) 851-5554.

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. Marijuana or marijuana plants are plants that contain more than 0.3% THC and those products require you to have a Medical Marijuana Card in order to buy them in Utah dispensaries.

The initial clinic visit for a Medical Marijuana Card in Utah can cost anywhere from $150 – $350 out of pocket. Currently, insurance companies do not cover this visit because Medical Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level. Some providers will accept FSA and HSA cards to cover the costs of your initial visit.

The card itself costs $15, paid to the state of Utah.

Depending on your provider, you may be required to complete a visit for each of your card renewals. Take this cost into account when making your first appointment, and be sure to ask your provider how often you’ll need to be seen and how much those visits will cost.

We set our initial office consultation at $250. Six-month and 12-month renewal consultations are $190.

Important Note: Utah’s Medical Cannabis patients are no longer required to renew their cards after 90 days. This regulation from the Department of Health is in effect as of January 3, 2022. Although our complimentary 90-day visit is no longer mandatory, UTTHC still recommends one for new patients as it helps them dial in their cannabis therapy.

There are four different types of Medical Marijuana Cards in Utah. Adults (21 years of age and older) will get Patient Cards.

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 Utah Therapeutic Health Center, we walk you through every step, from the initial visit through each renewal.
