Florida Medical Marijuana Eligibility
The first step in obtaining a Florida medical marijuana card is visiting the medical marijuana doctors at THC Physicians. During this “certification visit,” one of our physicians will provide you with a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine if medical marijuana is right for you. If your chronic condition meets the Florida Department of Health requirements for medical marijuana use, he or she will make a recommendation for medical marijuana use and establish a medical care plan on your behalf. This is similar to writing a prescription.
After this physician-based recommendation, you’ll be registered with the Florida Department of Health’s Compassionate Use database. This will allow you to obtain your medical marijuana from a dispensary licensed by the Florida Department of Health.
