Utah Medical Cannabis Qualifying Conditions Explained (2025 Update)
Wondering if you qualify for a Utah medical cannabis card? You’re not alone. Thousands of Utahns now use medical cannabis to manage chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, and other conditions through the Utah Medical Cannabis Program.
At Evergreen Mind & Medicine, we help patients understand exactly which conditions qualify — and what to expect during your evaluation — so you can move forward confidently and legally.
What Are Utah’s Medical Cannabis“Qualifying Conditions”?
In Utah, medical cannabis can only be recommended by a Qualified Medical Provider (QMP) for specific, state-approved medical conditions. These are conditions that have shown clinical benefit or relief with cannabis-based treatment.
Your provider must evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and goals to determine if you meet these criteria.
2025 List of Utah’s Approved Conditions
Below are the official conditions recognized by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services.
For the official list of qualifying conditions, visit the Utah Medical Cannabis Program site.
✅ Chronic Pain: lasting longer than two weeks or resistant to standard treatment
✅ PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder): diagnosed by a licensed mental health provider
✅ Cancer: where symptoms or treatments cause pain, nausea, or appetite loss
✅ Epilepsy or Seizure Disorders: to reduce frequency or severity
✅ Multiple Sclerosis (MS): for nerve pain or spasticity
✅ Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis (IBD): for inflammation and pain relief
✅ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
✅ Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS, Cachexia, HIV/AIDS, Terminal Illness
✅ Other Rare Conditions: may qualify via Utah’s Compassionate Use Board
What If My Condition Isn’t on the List?
If your diagnosis doesn’t appear above, you may still qualify. Utah’s Compassionate Use Board reviews cases that fall outside of the approved list — such as severe anxiety, depression, or other chronic conditions that haven’t responded to standard treatment.
At Evergreen Mind & Medicine, Chandler Reed, PMHNP, can help prepare the necessary documentation and submit your case for review if appropriate.
What to Expect During Your Evaluation
Your appointment includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. We’ll discuss whether medical cannabis could safely and effectively fit into your care plan — and provide education on dosing, product types, and Utah’s legal requirements.
