How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Florida

Book An Appointment

Schedule your appointment with DocMJ on a day and time that is convenient for you. This is a no-risk appointment, we provide a 100% money-back guarantee if you do not qualify.

Meet With a Doctor

The State of Florida requires that all patients visit a doctor in person to complete the health evaluation for the first time. We have thirty offices located across Florida. A friendly DocMJ doctor will consult with you and talk about your symptoms, medications, and wellness goals. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how mmj can improve your life.

Get Approved

When approved, you will receive a recommendation for mmj. The physician will upload the recommendation to the Florida Department of Health, OMMU. Recommendations are entered into the registry on the same day. Patients will then recieve an email from the state to apply and pay for the state card. In some cases, patients may be able to purchase mmj the same day following their appointment once the medical card process has been completed. Your medical card will arrive by mail approximately 10-15 days after you have been certified by the doctor and apply to the State.

Florida’s Medical Marijuana History


Florida’s medical marijuana journey started in 2014 with the passage of the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014. This was the first law in the state to allow for low-THC cannabis products for patients with certain medical conditions like cancer, chronic seizures, epilepsy, and muscle spasms. It was a big step forward for the state to offer an alternative treatment for those suffering from serious health issues.

Today, Florida has the largest medical marijuana program in the country, with more than 800,000 patients using cannabis as a treatment for various medical conditions. It’s evolving as new research comes out and as public opinion shifts towards more acceptance of cannabis as a viable and effective treatment.

This is a result of the medical marijuana movement in Florida and the state’s effort to make sure patients have access to this life-changing medicine safely and reliably.

Definition of Medical Marijuana in Florida


Medical marijuana in Florida refers to products purchased from licensed dispensaries by patients with a medical marijuana card. Cannabis from unapproved sources is not considered medical marijuana and is subject to federal, state, and local laws.

Residency Requirement for Medical Marijuana in FL


Permanent Florida residents can prove residency with state-approved identification. Seasonal residents must submit two forms of proof, such as a utility bill, lease agreement, or official mail from a financial institution or government agency dated within two months.

Purchasing Medical Marijuana in the State of Florida


Once approved for your Florida medical marijuana card by a certified physician and receiving your card from the State, you can legally purchase medical marijuana from licensed dispensaries. These dispensaries require your information to be submitted to the registry administered by the OMMU by a certified marijuana doctor. You are not required to buy from a specific dispensary, many directories are available to help you find a dispensary near you.

Renewing Your Florida Medical Marijuana Card


In Florida,  state-issued medical marijuana cards are valid for 12 months and must be renewed annually. Your required physician certification is valid for 7 months (210 days). To renew your physician certification, schedule a follow-up appointment with your DocMJ medical marijuana physician, who will assess your condition and determine if medical cannabis is still appropriate. After the consultation, your doctor will submit the renewal information to the OMMU’s registry.

You must then submit a renewal application annually and pay the required fee to the State. It's recommended to start the renewal process at least 30 days before your card expires to avoid any interruptions in access.

Book A Medical Marijuana Appointment With Our Physicians


A consultation with a physician licensed to practice in Florida is required to apply for a medical marijuana card. Florida residents can easily schedule a convenient appointment with DocMJ. Our physicians always take the time to address any questions you may have about Florida’s medical marijuana program and guide you through the process.
