Patients also must have a qualifying condition and a written certification by a health-care practitioner with whom they have a bona fide relationship.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A dispensary may not dispense more than 3 ounces, or 85 grams, of dried cannabis per patient within a 14-day period.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"patient-license-fees\">\n\tPatient license fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The OCR is authorized to establish a sliding scale of patient application and renewal fees based upon a qualifying patient's household income.

Measurements of THC and metabolites above 150 nanograms per milliliter of blood or urine are the legal definition of impairment.
