What visitors should know before applying.

Adults visiting Puerto Rico who have a health condition and want to be evaluated by a clinician for medical cannabis. Requesting an evaluation does not mean you are eligible — eligibility is determined through clinical review and the program’s current rules.

• A valid government-issued photo ID.
• Existing medical cannabis documentation from another jurisdiction, if you have any.
• Relevant medical history — records, diagnoses or a current medication list.
• Trip information, such as approximate dates and where you’ll be staying.

Support can confirm which specific documents apply to you and the appropriate route for your situation. Contact

Some out-of-jurisdiction medical cannabis cards may be recognized in Puerto Rico, but recognition comes with conditions. There is no blanket reciprocity, and holding a card does not guarantee access to every dispensary. Check the current program rules and ask support about your specific card.

If a clinician recommends medical cannabis, that recommendation is a clinical document. It is not automatically a government-issued patient card. Any registration with Puerto Rico’s program follows its own requirements.

• Medical cannabis in Puerto Rico is a medical program, not a tourism or recreational entitlement.
• We don’t provide guidance on traveling with cannabis by air. Follow the laws that apply to your route and destination.
• We can’t promise eligibility, approval, timelines or access to specific dispensaries.

For current rules, consult the Puerto Rico Department of Health’s medical cannabis program information.
