Medical cannabis cards and recommendations in Jamaica
Visitors often search for a “Jamaica medical marijuana card” or “medical cannabis card for tourists”. These terms can refer to different documents, so it is important to understand what a service actually provides.
A doctor’s recommendation records a clinical decision about medical cannabis. It should not be confused with a government-issued visitor permit. Jamaica’s published government guidance describes a permit route for visitors using cannabis for medical or therapeutic purposes. Ask which documentation applies to your circumstances.
Why book a medical assessment with MDLink
An online assessment gives you an opportunity to ask questions and discuss your health from the privacy of your hotel, villa, resort or Airbnb.
A doctor will review your symptoms, current treatment, medical history and whether cannabis could create particular risks for you. Approval is a medical decision, and another treatment may be recommended instead.
If you already use medical cannabis, share your existing recommendation and treatment history. This helps the doctor understand your care needs while you are away from home.
How to get started
1. Visit MDLink’s medical cannabis assessment page. Tell the team you are a visitor and provide your travel dates and current country.
2. Complete the health questionnaire accurately. Include your medical conditions, medicines, mental health history and previous cannabis use.
3. Attend a consultation if required. Your doctor may request additional information before reaching a decision.
4. Review the outcome. If a recommendation is issued, confirm its validity period and whether any separate visitor documentation is required.
Check eligibility and start your assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Can tourists apply for a medical cannabis card in Jamaica
Visitors can seek medical advice about cannabis treatment. Government guidance also describes a visitor permit process. Confirm eligibility and the precise document you need rather than assuming every card or recommendation serves the same purpose.
Can I complete the assessment online
MDLink offers an online assessment process. Confirm the consultation requirements and visitor arrangements when booking.
Is approval guaranteed
No. The doctor must decide whether a recommendation is clinically appropriate after reviewing your information.
How much does it cost and how long does it take
Check the current assessment fee and expected review time with MDLink before paying. Ask what the fee includes and whether any separate permit charges apply.
Does a medical recommendation let me travel internationally with cannabis
A medical recommendation is not an import or export permit. Do not bring cannabis into Jamaica or take it home based on a medical card alone. Check the relevant authorities’ requirements before travelling.
Can I use cannabis at my hotel or resort
A medical recommendation does not override public smoking rules or accommodation policies. Check the rules at your property and follow local requirements.
