Medical Marijuana Card in Huntington, WV

A Huntington-based practice, fully online

MedCardMD’s office is right here in Huntington, at 2828 1st Ave, Suite 204. Even so, every certification visit happens by telehealth. That means patients anywhere in Cabell County or neighboring Wayne County can complete the whole process from home, whether you live near Marshall University, out toward Barboursville, or down in Kenova or Ceredo.

Having a local office matters for a few practical reasons. You are working with a West Virginia physician who knows the state program, and when you call 234-380-0410 during business hours, Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, you reach people who handle West Virginia certifications every day.

How the process works for Huntington residents

The West Virginia medical cannabis program is run at the state level, so the rules are the same whether you live on the Southside or in Guyandotte. Here is what the path looks like:

• Gather records. MedCardMD requires records showing a prior diagnosis of a qualifying condition. Many Huntington patients get these from their primary care office, a specialist, or a hospital patient portal.
• Book a video visit. Choose a time on our scheduling page and join from your phone or computer.
• Meet with Dr. Arora. He reviews your history and records and decides whether certification is appropriate.
• Finish with the state. If approved, you complete your profile with the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis and pay the $50 state fee. Cards typically arrive in 10 to 15 days.

Why many Huntington patients choose a virtual visit

Traffic across town, parking near the hospitals, and taking an afternoon off work all add up. A telehealth certification removes most of that. You can join from your kitchen table on a lunch break, and there is no waiting room. For people living with chronic pain, neuropathy, or a condition that makes travel hard, that difference is real.

A virtual visit is still a real medical evaluation. Dr. Arora is board-certified in internal medicine, nephrology and addiction medicine, and he looks at your full picture, including other medications and health conditions, before making a decision.

Qualifying conditions under West Virginia law

Living in Huntington does not change which conditions qualify. West Virginia law lists a specific set, including cancer, HIV or AIDS, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord nerve tissue damage with intractable spasticity, epilepsy, neuropathies, Huntington’s disease, Crohn’s disease, PTSD, intractable seizures, sickle cell anemia, severe chronic or intractable pain, and terminal illness.

A note on names: Huntington’s disease is a genetic neurological condition and has nothing to do with the city. We mention it because people searching from Huntington sometimes ask. Conditions outside the state list, such as anxiety on its own, do not qualify.

What to have ready

• A valid West Virginia ID showing your current address
• Medical records that show your qualifying diagnosis
• A list of your current medications
• A quiet, private spot with a good connection for the video call

Cost for Huntington patients

The certification is $150 and you only pay if you are approved. The state charges its own $50 registration fee through your OMC profile. There are no extra local fees for Huntington residents. Our cost breakdown explains every piece.

Certification is never guaranteed, and nothing on this page is medical or legal advice. State rules can change, so check the OMC website for current requirements.

After you have your card

Once your card arrives, you can purchase from licensed dispensaries anywhere in West Virginia, not only in the Tri-State area. Keep your card with you, store products securely and out of reach of children, and remember that West Virginia’s program does not extend across the river into Ohio or Kentucky. Crossing state lines with cannabis can create legal problems, so keep your use within West Virginia.

Mark your expiration date as soon as your card arrives. You can renew no sooner than 30 days before it expires, and the renewal certification is $100, charged only if you are approved. Our renewal page covers the details. If you have questions at any point, the Huntington office is a phone call away.
