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.

I would like to thank DocMJ for an excellent experience! I was not sure what to expect, but I was promptly greeted by Sharon who clearly keeps the office running smoothly. She was extremely friendly and a pleasure to talk to. Dr. Shaw was professional and courteous and kind.

Update 3/12/25
Having worked with Dr Charlene Shaw for a couple of years now, my impressions of her continue to grow.

She always remembers me and what we've spoken about in the past. She listens extremely well and offers insightful thoughts and ideas; her thinking is out of the box, especially compared to my brain.

Now that DocMJ offers televisits, I don't have to go into a building that is not safe for me. Extra bonus!

Original Review
Sharon at the front is a major help guiding you through the process and Dr. Shaw is smart, knowledgeable, and I felt heard.

If you have CIRS be sure to bring a good mask.
Response from the owner:Hello Deb! Thank you for your updated review! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Shaw continues to meet your expectations with her thoughtful approach and excellent care.

Response from the owner:Hello Joseph! We're so glad to hear that your prescription renewal was easy and comfortable! We strive to make the process as accommodating as possible, and we're happy we could assist with your needs. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
I have never in my life been met with such compassion and understanding and let me not forget the most amazing hug by Sharon E. in any doctors office in my entire life!! Sharon Edwards and Dr Squire unbeknownst to them saved my life today, because due to my current circumstances I had been contemplating suicide, because I didn't want to feel the pain anymore due to life on life's terms, leaving a bad situation and because of Sharon and Dr Squire, I know there is a better way to deal with and channel my emotions. Sharon should not of assisted me in any way , because I was upset with her over your call centers mistruths and yet she took me in her arms, gave me the biggest hug, a few Our Daily Bread Books, she then proceeded before she took her lunch break with my permission to text me and sent me the most beautiful words of encouragement and left her phone line open if I ever needed to talk... That to me is priceless!!! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for making not only my renewal process extremely easy, but giving me that light of hope and my faith of a mustard seed back to hang on and know it will get better in the short time our lives crossed today!!!
Response from the owner:Hello Melissa! Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience. We're truly moved by your words and so grateful that Sharon and Dr. Squire could be there for you in such a meaningful way.

Who is Eligible for Medical Marijuana in the State of Florida?

Speaking with our Florida medical marijuana doctors, you will discuss your particular situation and need, but there are two general requirements for any patient to be given a medical marijuana recommendation and obtain a card from the State: You must be either a permanent or temporary resident within the State of Florida to both receive and maintain your MMJ card from the state. This card is utilized at medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state, and will only work in Florida dispensaries. Cards issued in other states may not apply, nor may a card issued in Florida apply in other states. You must be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition by a certified doctor. Beyond the enumerated list below, the law allows a terminal condition diagnosed by a physician, or other debilitating conditions of like, kind, or class such as depression, anxiety, and migraines.

Will My Florida Medical Marijuana Card Work Anywhere in the State?

Florida patients who have received their Florida medical cannabis card may purchase at any state-licensed dispensary. Regardless if your card was issued by medical marijuana doctors in Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, or anywhere within the State of Florida, as a Florida resident you would qualify to purchase medical marijuana.

Can I Travel Across State Lines With Marijuana If I Have A Card?

As of now, No. Federal law prohibits carrying marijuana across state lines. It would be considered drug trafficking.

Can I Use My Florida Medical Marijuana Card in Other States?

While medical marijuana remains a Schedule I narcotic at the federal level it has been legalized for some states. Many have agreements between them to allow out-of-state medical marijuana cards. This is known as “reciprocity.” Florida does not yet offer reciprocity, that is, those with out-of-state medical marijuana cards cannot use them in Florida. However, Floridians can use a medical marijuana card in some other states with certain guidelines. Read on to learn which states allow the use of your Florida medical marijuana card. Read more here.

Are Medical Records for Medical Marijuana Private?

The Florida Department of Health branch known as the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) has strict power over the online registry, giving access only to your marijuana doctors, law enforcement, dispensary staff, and the Florida Department of Health itself.
