North Dakota Marijuana Law

In November 2016, voters in North Dakota passed a ballot initiative, Statutory Measure No. 5, legalizing the use of marijuana for specific medical conditions such as:

Cancer
AIDS
Hepatitis C
ALS
Glaucoma and
Epilepsy.

Under the law, North Dakota residents can use medical marijuana if they obtain identification cards and certificates of registration requiring approval by a physician. Once eligibility is established, patients can obtain up to 3 ounces of usable marijuana and, in some instances, could even grow the marijuana at their residence.
