• Individuals suffering from the following medical conditions are eligible to receive medical cannabis within the state of Florida

• To begin the process, a patient must have an in-person visit with a Florida-licensed

physician who is certified in compassionate use. In order to provide certifications to

patients, a doctor must have an active, unrestricted medical license and must

complete a course issued by the Florida Medical Association.

• Once the physician has examined the patient, he or she can qualify (or “certify”)

them to be able to purchase medical marijuana. After a patient is certified by a

physician they must complete a medical marijuana ID card application with the

Department of Health. When the Department approves the patient’s ID card

application, the patient is legally then able to visit any of the state’s dispensaries or

call a Medical Marijuana Treatment Center to arrange for delivery.

• The law requires patients to be re-certified each 210 days, and the physician can certify up to a 70-day supply of cannabis at a time at a maximum daily dose that is yet to be determined by the Department of Health
