Can my employer still administer a drug screening for marijuana if I am a legal medical patient in New Jersey?
Yes. With New Jersey being an at-will state and there not currently being any legislation in place that protects medical marijuana patients in the workplace, medical cardholders can still be administered drug screenings and receive disciplinary action regarding the results of drug screenings. For this reason, we recommend making sure you are fully aware of your employer’s policy regarding drug screenings and medical marijuana before moving forward with the process.

Do New Jersey dispensaries recognize other state medical marijuana ID cards?
No. You must be certified in New Jersey by a registered medical marijuana doctor to legally access and purchase from dispensaries in the state.
Can I use my New Jersey medical marijuana card in another state?

Can I renew with Green Health Docs if I was seen by a different doctor last year?
