FAQS

General

Where do I find a Florida Medical Marijuana Doctor?

Dr. Green Relief’s Florida offices see new patients in person, and you can renew by telehealth with the doctor who examined you. Our locations page lists each office, and the state publishes a weekly list of qualified physicians at knowthefactsmmj.com.

What are the qualifying conditions to apply for a Florida Medical Marijuana Card?

Florida law (section 381.986(2), Florida Statutes) lists these qualifying medical conditions:

Cancer
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV (positive status)
AIDS
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Crohn’s disease
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
A terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the one who certifies you
Chronic nonmalignant pain caused by, or originating from, a qualifying medical condition and lasting beyond its usual course

A qualified physician may also certify a condition of the same kind or class as, or comparable to, those listed, such as some cases of anxiety, depression, migraines or neuropathy, at the physician’s discretion after examining you; certification is never promised. Remember that the certification is issued upon the doctor’s recommendation. It is based on medical expertise. You may want to schedule your appointment with us to talk with one of our doctors. Section 381.986(2) of the Florida Statutes sets out the qualifying conditions and the comparable-condition rule.

I have a qualifying condition. Does it make me automatically qualified for the Florida Medical Marijuana Card Program?

No. You won’t automatically qualify even if you have a qualifying condition because you must still have a certification from a Florida Marijuana Doctor before applying for it.

Why should I apply and obtain a medical marijuana card?

With a physician certification and an active state ID card, you are protected from state criminal penalties for possession and use of medical marijuana that follows state law. By being a medical marijuana cardholder, you can buy cannabis products from state licensed dispensaries.

Where do I purchase medical marijuana once I have my MMJ card?

Once certified for the program and having your cannabis ID card, you’ll be able to buy cannabis products from a licensed dispensary in Florida.

Can anyone purchase medical cannabis in the state?

No, not anyone can purchase medical marijuana in Florida unless he or she has a valid and current doctor’s certification and Florida Medical Marijuana Card. We certify patients for qualifying conditions.

Can I obtain prescription for medical marijuana?

No. Florida doctors enter a certification in the state registry instead of writing a prescription, and a local pharmacy cannot fill it because only licensed medical marijuana treatment centers may sell medical marijuana. Marijuana is also still a federally controlled substance.
Once your ID card application is approved, you buy your supply at a licensed dispensary, which checks your certification in the registry.

Doctor’s Certification

What’s a Florida Cannabis Card Certification?

It is the record a qualified Florida physician enters in the state registry, and you need it before you can join the program.
This certification will indicate that you’re suffering from a condition that can benefit from medical marijuana use. We have our qualified Medical Marijuana Doctors in Florida that can provide you with needed certification to apply for a medical marijuana card.

Can any doctor issue a certification?

No, not all doctors can issue a certification. To certify, a Florida Marijuana Doctor should have completed his or her coursework and become certified by Florida. The state listed 2,032 qualified physicians on October 2, 2026.

What is the card’s validity period?

Two periods apply. Florida law requires a physician evaluation at least once every 30 weeks (210 days) before a new certification, even if your Florida Cannabis Identification Card is valid for 12 months. Renewal visits are $99 at our Tampa and Sarasota offices and $75 at our Fort Myers office.

When should I renew the certification?

We recommend renewing at least one and a half month before it expires because it is not only the medical marijuana card but also the certification that you need to buy, possess and use medical cannabis. It is for the same reason you should not let this certification expire in order to stay protected.

Marijuana Id Card

What’s the validity of the Florida Cannabis Identification Card?

The card is valid for one year from its issuance date of the state’s health department.

Is it optional to have the cannabis ID card?

No, this is not optional. You should apply to the Florida Office Of Medical Marijuana Use to obtain an ID card before you attempt to purchase medical Marijuana at the dispensary. Licensed treatment centers fill orders only after the state approves your ID card application.

What is the fee for this identification card?

The Florida Department of Health requires an annual fee of $75 to issue the MMJ card.

Is it okay to use medical cannabis while waiting for my Florida Marijuana Card?

Yes, once the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use approves your ID card application. The state says its approval email can be used to fill an order while your card is printed and mailed.

I lost my Florida Medical Marijuana Card. What should I do?

Send the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use a Change, Replacement or Surrender Request form with a copy of your Florida ID and the $15 replacement fee. The phone number for the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use is (800) 808-9580.

What’s the process of renewal?

Call our team to book a renewal visit, and we’ll help with your certification and medical marijuana card renewal. The state ID card renewal fee is $75, paid directly to the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use.

How far in advance should I renew?

We suggest renewing the medical cannabis card as soon as the 45-day renewal window opens.

What kind of life change should I report to the health division?

Some of the things to report include medical marijuana card lost, change of home address or if you don’t want to use the MMJ card anymore.

If I obtained my Florida Medical Marijuana Card, who would know about it?

Know that the registry is a confidential program, unavailable for access by the general public, including your employer. Only dispensaries, law enforcement, qualified physicians and licensed prescribers have the access to your information for verification of your status in the cannabis program.

Registry Application

What documents do I need to apply for my Florida Cannabis Card?

That depends on your residency status.

If you are a Florida resident you will need your Florida State issued ID or Drivers License and a doctor’s certification for the use of medical marijuana. Your information will be entered into the state registry and you will need to pay your state fee to the office of medical marijuana use. If you are a seasonal resident you will need to show proof of residency and a passport photo.

What are the state fees for the Florida Medical Marijuana Card?

The Florida Medical Marijuana ID Card costs $75 as an annual state fee for its issuance. Online applications also carry a $2.75 convenience fee.

Why would my Florida Marijuana Card be denied?

Applications lacking processing fees and incomplete application requirements are reasons for denied applications. The Florida Office Of Medical Marijuana Use doesn’t make an assessment relating to the physician’s certification. If you need assistance in the application, we’d gladly help for any concerns or questions you have.

What should I do if my application is denied?

Denied applications are not common. We’re going to review your application to ensure it will be complete before you submit for reapplication.

Can a minor apply for the Florida Medical Marijuana Card Program?

Yes, they may apply for the Florida Cannabis Identification Card in accordance to state laws and at the discretion of a medical marijuana doctor. However, a parent or legal guardian must give the state written consent, and the minor needs a registered caregiver, the only person who may buy for them. Finally, a second physician must agree that the benefits likely outweigh the risks, and that agreement is recorded in the minor’s medical record.

How long will my application take to process?

Online applications take an average of 10 business days to approve. Mailed applications take 3 to 5 days longer. It can take longer for seasonal residents or incomplete applications.

Is it possible to expedite the application?

No matter how soon you see one of our doctors for your certification, the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use takes an average of 10 business days to process online applications. Expediting the application is not possible.

How would I know that my application has been approved?

The state tells you by email. After one of our doctors certifies you, the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use sends you an email with instructions. Once you complete your state application and your $75 state fee clears, the state reviews it and emails you as soon as it approves your application.

State Program

What is the benefit of the Florida Medical Marijuana Program?

It is a state organized program designed to protect patients with a doctor’s certification from criminal charges for possession, purchase and consumption of cannabis. With it, you will be exempt from state level prosecution provided you follow the outlined regulations and laws by Florida.

How can I participate in the program?

You should obtain certification from a Medical Marijuana Doctor in Florida, and then enroll in the registry program.

Is medical cannabis program participation publicly known?

Your participation to the program is confidential, not open to your employer or your landlord. Each user Florida law lets into the registry may look only for a set purpose, such as a treatment center checking your certification before it fills an order. Your information isn’t accessible by the general public.

Who is the regulating office or agency for the program?

The Office Of Medical Marijuana Use regulates the Florida Medical Cannabis Card program. It is within the state’s department of health. This office does not issue a certification, but a certified doctor.

Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry, what is it?

It is a confidential and exclusive database referred to by the law enforcement and by dispensaries that will verify your status as a medical cannabis patient. Your ID card along with this database will protect you from state prosecution for purchase, possession and use of cannabis provided you follow the regulations and laws set by the state.

Will there be more qualifying conditions to be added to the program?

Yes, there can be more qualifying conditions to be added by lawmakers or by a voter-approved amendment. Until then, a qualified physician may certify a condition of the same kind or class as, or comparable to, cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, PTSD, ALS, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis.

Who can be a legal representative or caregiver?

According to the Florida Medical Marijuana Card Program, he or she must be a Florida resident aged 21 or older who completes the state caregiver course and is registered as your caregiver in the Medical Marijuana Use Registry.

What is the Amendment 2 of the Florida Constitution?

Voters approved this amendment on November 8, 2016. It also expands the former Low THC program of the state. In addition, this amendment allows individuals to qualify for use of medical marijuana under a list of qualified conditions but with a doctor’s approval.
This new state program also allows for high THC level for dispensing and consumed for medical purposes. For the card program, it took effect on January 3, 2017.
