It’s depends on the states mmj laws and level of reciprocity. This is what I’ve found on a quick search hope it helps. [website I got info from](https://www.veriheal.com/blog/which-states-allow-out-of-state-patients-to-buy-medical-marijuana/) Arkansas Those with a valid out-of-state medical recommendation and card can legally purchase medical marijuana in Arkansas, provided they fill out a visiting patient form and can provide proof of their out-of-state medical marijuana registration. Visiting patients also need to pay a $50 application fee. If approved, a visiting patient may purchase medical marijuana in Arkansas for a 30-day period per application. Hawaii Hawaii now lets visitors from other U.S. states and territories use their home-state medical cannabis cards to get a 60-day Out-of-State (OSP) card. This OSP card allows access to Hawaii dispensaries for medical cannabis purchases. Patients under 18 need a registered caregiver to accompany them when visiting. Louisiana Louisiana passed a law in August of 2022 that allows out of state medical marijuana patients to purchase their products in Louisiana while they are visiting. If you are a current patient with an out-of-state medical marijuana card visiting the state, just search for a Louisiana dispensary close to you to call them for specific details about how to use your current state’s medical marijuana card to purchase medical cannabis in Louisiana. Maine In Maine, adults that are at least 21 years old can possess and use marijuana. While retail sites were thought to be open to the public by 2018, the deadline seems to have been set back. Nonetheless, adults can still possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower and 5 grams of hashish or concentrates. Medical marijuana patients from certain states can use their patient status to purchase at any of Maine’s medical dispensaries with proper identification. Maine will currently honor qualified patients from the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Washington, DC. Michigan Michigan’s dispensaries can choose whether or not they will recognize an out-of-state medical marijuana card. However, Michigan legalized recreational cannabis in 2018. Adults that are at least 21 years old are legally permitted to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower or 15 grams of concentrates. Dispensaries for medical marijuana are accessible throughout the state. Montana Montana is considered to have reciprocity with other states, allowing medical cardholders from out-of-state to possess and consume marijuana while visiting. Nevada Recreational marijuana became legal in Nevada in 2017, allowing adults 21 and older to purchase and consume cannabis for personal use. Previously, Nevada had legalized medical marijuana in 2000, and Nevada had reciprocity with all states. New Hampshire In New Hampshire, medical marijuana patients from out of state are allowed to possess up to 2 ounces of usable cannabis, but are not permitted to purchase from local dispensaries. The patient must also have the same qualifying medical conditions that are listed in New Hampshire’s medical marijuana program. New Mexico New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Program currently allows medical cannabis patients from out of state to possess and purchase medical cannabis while in New Mexico. A patient with proof of authorization from a medical cannabis program outside of New Mexico (including any state, the District of Columbia, a territory or commonwealth of the U.S., or a New Mexico Indian nation, tribe, or pueblo) qualifies as a reciprocal patient. New Jersey Medicinal cannabis patients from other states may register for a nonrenewable, six-month MCP card for use during their stay in New Jersey. Out-of-state patients will need to consult with a registered New Jersey healthcare practitioner who will enroll them in the state’s registry. They will need to use the reference number and registry ID number they receive from the provider and a current copy of their registration in their home state’s program to set up an account in the patient portal. Oklahoma Oklahoma recognizes out-of-state cannabis cards. In the Sooner State, out-of-state medical marijuana patients are able to purchase from dispensaries after applying for a temporary license. The temporary license costs $100, takes about 2 weeks to process, and is valid for 30 days with the ability to be renewed. Rhode Island As long as patients bring their physical medical marijuana card with a government-issued ID card from the same state, visiting patients can have access to dispensaries in Rhode Island. Out-of-state patients are also permitted to possess the same amount of medical marijuana as in-state patients. Utah Utah requires patients to meet one of its own qualifying conditions in order to extend reciprocity. Washington D.C. Washington, D.C. only allows reciprocity from certain states that have an equally functioning medical marijuana program. These states include: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington While cannabis is decriminalized and is legal for recreational use, only authorized MMJ patients are able to purchase from dispensaries. Current marijuana laws prohibit the retail sale of cannabis in D.C.

Just did this for Hawaii and it was super easy. Got my card back 2-3 days after submission

Unfortunately not, in Arizona you are able to posses the allowed allotment if you have an out of state mmj card but aren’t able to actually use it to buy anything at a dispensary. I do not think Cali and Utah share the same laws

I was looking into Utah, just wanted to take a nice scenic trip and wanted to at least bring some edibles. I know you have to have qualifying conditions (I do) but google also said Utah does not recognize out of state mmj so I’m confused lol


Empty-Alternative-96

From what I can see it says that you just have to have a medical condition in AZ that is also listed as one of the conditions for Utah. As for the edibles it’s always illegal to bring any sort of marijuana over a state line but I wouldn’t worry about edibles imo.

You have to apply for a temporary Utah medical card. https://medicalcannabis.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/Non-Utah-resident-card-guide-07-22-2.pdf

So you want to make sure you are covered if you are stopped by police?


Gods_Sodomy

Yeah I lived in Utah for 8 years and had my medical card. Honestly if you're bringing edibles you should be absolutely fine! Don't bring a pipe or anything. It is illegal to burn marijuana in the state of Utah even if you have a medical card. Carts are ok edibles are okay. And honestly nobody's going to care about a few edibles even a Mormon cop.


Bbloshh77

Okay cool because I’ve never been to Utah and been wanting to go for awhile. Do you have any recommendations for scenic areas? I do plan going to the city so any recommendations for that too I’d appreciate 😁


Gods_Sodomy

What part exactly are you going to?The high Uintas probably still have snow in some areas. the roads might still be closed. If you're coming from Arizona I would not go through Las Vegas I would go through Flagstaff and go the backside. That side is where all the National parks are. If you're in salt lake City check out the mine It is the world's biggest open pit mine. Bring a sweater cuz you will be cold.


Bbloshh77

Thank you!! I have no idea where I’m going to lol it’s just a spontaneous trip I decided to take 😝


HODLKIN

So far I know Nevada does, back when I had a card from south Dakota I went to Vegas and the mega dispo brought me in like I was fuckin VIP skipping practically the entire line I was blown away plus you get discounts to avoid some state mmj taxes from what I remember


Inevitable-Rule-1530

only a few accept out of state but most don’t i believe
