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.

This place has become garbage. It is 100% impossible to get an appointment that is not several weeks out. It's ridiculous because I have never spent more than 7 mins with a doctor. DocMJ is the highest price MMJ doctor in Florida and there are ZERO reasons to have such a astronomical price compared to other Fla MMJ Drs that do the say thing for less and can actually see you when you need them. I'm telling everyone I know to stay away from DocMJ. Garbage.
Response from the owner: Hello Stephen. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment and understand how frustrating scheduling delays can be. We strive to provide quality care and address any challenges promptly. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
