Dispensaries in North Dakota

Every Medical Marijuana Dispensary in North Dakota

The state's whole retail market is 8 storefronts, one in each of 8 cities. They sit in 8 of North Dakota's 53 counties. The table runs from west to east.

North Dakota does not have separate city pages in our directory. Open any listing for its map and phone number, and check the store's own site for current stock.

Why There Are Exactly Eight

State law calls these stores compassion centers. Under NDCC 19-24.1-12, HHS may register no more than eight dispensaries and two manufacturing facilities, unless it finds that more are needed to give patients access. The state's list shows eight dispensaries, so every slot the law sets out is in use. HHS tells cardholders they may buy only from one of these registered stores.

Each store must check your card in the state's verification system before a sale. It also tracks what it sells with a bar-code inventory system and reports patient purchases to HHS.

North Dakota Dispensaries by Region

West: Williston and Dickinson

Pure Dakota Health Williston is on 26th Street East in Williston, in Williams County. It is the westernmost store on the list. Curaleaf Dickinson is on 24th Street East in Dickinson, in Stark County. The state's list shows Dickinson's hours in Mountain Time, the only store marked that way.

Central: Minot and Bismarck

Curaleaf Minot is on 16th Street SW in Minot, in Ward County. Pure Dakota Health Bismarck is on Memorial Highway in Bismarck, the capital, in Burleigh County.

Pure Dakota Health Fargo is on 13th Avenue South in Fargo, in Cass County, and is the easternmost store on the list.

Of the state's 53 counties, 45 have no store, so many patients drive a long way. A patient may have up to five designated caregivers, and a caregiver can make the trip for you.

Store Hours

The HHS dispensary list shows hours for every store. When we last checked, all eight stores were closed on Sunday and Monday and open Tuesday through Saturday. Closing times run from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. depending on the store and day, and the Dickinson store lists a midday break. Check before a long drive.

Who Can Buy at a North Dakota Dispensary

• Registered patients: North Dakota residents 19 or older with a registry card. Applicants upload a North Dakota ID or driver's license.
• Minor patients: patients under 19 buy through a designated caregiver, and may receive only pediatric medical marijuana. A store may not sell to a minor.
• Designated caregivers: carded adults who buy for a patient. Caregivers pass a criminal history check.
• Visiting patients: people who live in another state, Washington, D.C. or a U.S. territory and hold a medical card from home can apply for a 60-day nonresident card under NDCC 19-24.1-03.3. HHS charges $40, and applicants must be 19 or older. Both the home-state ID and card must stay valid for the full 60 days.

Adults without a card cannot buy anywhere in North Dakota.

How to Get a North Dakota Registry Card

1. Get a written certification from a health care provider licensed in North Dakota, signed within 90 days before you apply. Hospice patients and veterans who get care through the VA have other approval paths.
2. Apply online through the HHS Medical Marijuana Program portal, with a photo and your North Dakota ID.
3. Pay the fee. State law caps it at $40, and HHS charges $40.
4. Keep it current. A card is valid for two years from the date it is issued.

The list of qualifying conditions is in our North Dakota marijuana law guide.

What You Can Buy, and How Much

• Dried flower: up to 2.5 ounces in any 30-day period, with no more than 3 ounces on hand at any time.
• Edibles: square lozenges only, with no more than 5 milligrams of THC per serving and 50 milligrams per package. A patient may have no more than 500 milligrams of edibles at a time.
• Other products: solutions, capsules, transdermal patches, topicals and concentrates. A concentrate container may hold no more than 1 gram.
• Enhanced amount: for one listed condition, a provider may authorize up to 6 ounces of flower per 30 days and 7.5 ounces on hand.

The 30-day flower limit follows the patient. A purchase by your caregiver counts toward it.

Where Patients Can Use It

• Not everywhere: The program does not protect use on school grounds or school buses, at correctional or child care facilities, where the state smoke-free law bans smoking, or where smoke or vapor would reach a minor.
• Not behind the wheel: The card is no defense to driving under the influence, under NDCC 19-24.1-33.
• No home grow: Neither adults nor patients may grow cannabis in North Dakota.

Crossing the State Line

Minnesota and Montana border North Dakota, and both have licensed stores that sell to adults 21 and older. Buying there is legal under those states' laws. Bringing it back is not. HHS says state law gives no protection for marijuana not bought from a registered North Dakota dispensary, and carrying cannabis across a state line breaks federal law. Without a card, less than half an ounce is an infraction with a fine of up to $1,000.

Before You Visit a North Dakota Dispensary

• Bring your card: Staff must check it in the state system before every sale.
• Skip Sunday and Monday: No store on the state's list opens on those days.
• Track your 30 days: Keep a note of what you bought and when, so a sale is not declined.
• Visiting? Apply for your nonresident card before the trip, and keep your home card valid the whole time.

North Dakota Dispensary FAQ

Does your dispensary need more visibility? North Dakota patients use The Weed Street Journal to compare stores, read strain guides and check the law before they buy. Advertise with us · Spotted a wrong address, phone number or hours? Tell us and we will fix it free.

How we build this directory: Store names, addresses and phone numbers come from the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services list of dispensary locations, which we last pulled in October 2026. That list does not include license numbers or ZIP codes, so our North Dakota listings do not show license numbers. We assign each store to a county by its city, check it against map data and refresh the list as stores open and close. For the rules in every state, see our state-by-state cannabis law guides.
