Legal Topics

As a medical marijuana cardholder in Utah, you are permitted to possess cannabis. However, there are still strict restrictions in place. Here are some critical Utah medical marijuana laws to know:

Patients may possess a 30-day supply, defined as:

  • Up to 113 grams of unprocessed cannabis (flower).
  • Up to 20 grams of total composite THC in all other medicinal dosage forms.

Available product types include:

  • Aerosols
  • Tablets
  • Capsules
  • Concentrated oils
  • Liquid suspensions
  • Transdermals
  • Gelatinous cubes
  • Wax or resin
  • Medical cannabis devices such as vape pens
  • Unprocessed cannabis flower

Smoking cannabis is illegal in Utah, even for medical reasons. However, vaporizing is acceptable. The law also prohibits brownies, candies, cookies, or other edible products.

For the moment, you may not grow cannabis in Utah, even if you are a qualifying medical marijuana patient.

Caregivers

Caregivers are adults 21 years of age or older who care for patient cardholders who are unable to procure or consume medical cannabis on their own. Caregivers must be designated by the patient cardholders they will be assisting.

Minor patients and their parent or legal guardian must apply for a minor/guardian card.

Different cards available:

  • Guardian Cards: Parents or legal guardians of minors eligible to consume medical cannabis. These cards are issued in conjunction with provisional patient cards.
  • Provisional Patient Cards: Minors under the age of 18 who meet the eligibility requirements to consume medical cannabis. These are issued in conjunction with guardian cards. All provisional patient cards must have approval from the Compassionate Use Board.
  • Caregiver Cards: Adults 21 years of age and older who care for patient cardholders who are unable to procure or consume medical cannabis on their own. Caregivers must be designated by the patient cardholders they will be assisting.

Caregiver Requirements:

  • Minimum 21 years of age.
  • The patient must have an active medical cannabis card to register as their caregiver.
  • Must complete a background check (after application payment, the Department of Health will email the caregiver about how to begin the process).
  • Patients can have up to two caregivers.
Reciprocity

Utah recognizes some medical marijuana cards from patients visiting from another state. To be eligible, the visiting patient must have a Utah qualifying condition and register with the Utah Department of Health and Human Services for a non-Utah resident card.

Non-Utah Residents may request a card for up to two 21-day periods within a calendar year.

The following states and territories recognize Utah medical marijuana cards:

  8. Once a medical cannabis card is issued by the DHHS, a caregiver is ready to purchase product from a medical cannabis pharmacy. To purchase medical cannabis, a caregiver must bring their medical cannabis card and a valid form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license, with them to the pharmacy.
    1. Before the first purchase, a patient will need to consult with a medical cannabis pharmacist. Some pharmacies require an appointment made in advance for this consultation.
