Renew

Concord residents do not renew a North Carolina medical marijuana card because the state does not issue one. Continued access depends on the rules of the pathway being used, such as North Carolina’s limited low-THC allowance or the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians program.

Do Concord Residents Need to Renew Cannabis Access?

For North Carolina’s limited state-level low-THC allowance, continued access depends on ongoing medical oversight and, when applicable, caregiver participation.

For individuals participating in the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians program, authorization must be renewed regularly to remain active.

How Can Concord Residents Keep EBCI Access Active?

To maintain access through the EBCI system, individuals generally need to:

• Submit a renewal request through the Cannabis Control Board
• Provide updated documentation showing a qualifying condition
• Pay the required renewal fee

 

After approval, access continues through authorized dispensaries located on tribal lands.

How Long Does EBCI Authorization Last?

Authorization through the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians program is typically valid for one year. Starting the renewal process before expiration can help avoid interruptions in access.

What Does Renewal Cost for Concord Residents?

Standard renewal fees generally include:

• $100 for North Carolina residents
• $25 for enrolled tribal members

 

Additional costs may apply if updated medical documentation is required.
