Everything Florida patients need to know about the state's medical marijuana program, from getting certified to understanding products.
Florida's medical marijuana program, established under Amendment 2 in 2016, allows patients with qualifying conditions to legally obtain cannabis products from state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs). The program is overseen by the Florida Department of Health's Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), which maintains the patient registry, licenses physicians, and regulates dispensary operations throughout the state.
To participate in the program, you need three things: a qualifying medical condition, certification from a qualified physician registered with the OMMU, and a state-issued medical marijuana card. Once registered, patients can purchase products from any licensed dispensary in Florida, with purchases tracked against physician-set limits in the state database. The program currently does not permit home cultivation, and all products must be purchased through licensed MMTCs.
Only physicians who have completed the required training course and registered with the OMMU can certify patients for medical marijuana in Florida. These qualified physicians evaluate whether you have a qualifying condition and, if so, enter your certification into the state registry. Many clinics specialize in MMJ evaluations, while some primary care physicians and specialists also offer certifications as part of their practice.
When choosing a physician, consider factors like appointment availability, telehealth options, pricing transparency, and patient reviews. Many doctors offer both in-person and virtual consultations, which can be particularly convenient for patients in rural areas or those with mobility challenges. Certification appointments typically cost between $150 and $300, though prices vary by provider and some offer discounts for veterans, seniors, or patients with financial hardship.
Come prepared to your physician certification appointment with valid Florida identification or proof of seasonal residency, relevant medical records documenting your qualifying condition, a list of current medications, and payment for the appointment. Records from specialists, hospital visits, or your primary care physician can help support your case, especially for conditions like chronic pain that may require documentation of ongoing treatment history.
First-time certification appointments typically last 30 to 45 minutes and include a medical history review, discussion of your qualifying condition, and education about medical marijuana options. Renewal appointments are usually shorter, around 15 to 20 minutes, focused on evaluating your treatment progress.
Florida dispensaries offer a range of product formats to suit different patient needs and preferences. Inhalation products include smokable flower (legal since 2019), pre-rolled joints, and vaporizer cartridges that provide relatively rapid onset of effects. Edibles encompass capsules, lozenges, chocolates, gummies, and other ingestible products that take longer to take effect but typically provide longer-lasting relief.
Tinctures and oral sprays are administered under the tongue for faster absorption than edibles, while oral syringes and RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) offer concentrated options for patients requiring higher doses. Topical products including creams, balms, and transdermal patches deliver cannabinoids through the skin for localized relief without significant psychoactive effects. Concentrates like rosin, distillate, and shatter are high-potency options intended for experienced patients. Your physician will specify which routes of administration you're approved for based on your condition and treatment goals.
Cannabis contains dozens of cannabinoids, each with distinct properties. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" associated with cannabis, but it also has therapeutic applications for pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, and other conditions. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, non-psychoactive form found in fresh cannabis that converts to THC when heated—a process called decarboxylation. Products labeled as high-THCA will produce THC effects when smoked or vaporized.
CBD (cannabidiol) is non-psychoactive and is often used for anxiety, inflammation, and seizure disorders. It may also help moderate some of THC's effects. Minor cannabinoids like CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol), and CBC (cannabichromene) are present in smaller amounts and are being studied for various therapeutic applications. Many patients find that products containing a combination of cannabinoids—sometimes called "full spectrum" or "whole plant" formulations—work better for them than isolated compounds, though individual responses vary significantly.
All products sold at Florida's licensed dispensaries must undergo third-party laboratory testing before reaching patients. These tests check for cannabinoid potency (THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids), terpene profiles, and contaminants including pesticides, heavy metals, microbial organisms, and residual solvents. Results are documented in a Certificate of Analysis (COA) that should be available for every product, often accessible via a QR code on the packaging.
Reviewing COAs helps you verify that products contain what they claim and are free from harmful contaminants. Look for potency that matches the label, absence of detected contaminants, and accreditation information for the testing laboratory. If a dispensary cannot provide COA information for a product, consider that a red flag. Always purchase medical marijuana only from state-licensed MMTCs to ensure product safety and compliance with Florida regulations.
The golden rule for medical marijuana dosing is "start low, go slow." Cannabis affects everyone differently based on factors including body weight, metabolism, tolerance, the specific product and consumption method, and individual endocannabinoid system variation. Beginning with a low dose and gradually increasing allows you to find the minimum effective dose for your symptoms while minimizing potential side effects.
For inhalation products, effects typically begin within minutes. For edibles and capsules, wait at least two hours before taking more—onset can be delayed and effects are often stronger and longer-lasting than inhalation. Keep a journal to track products, doses, and effects to help identify what works best for you.
Proper storage also matters for both safety and product quality. Keep cannabis products in their original child-resistant packaging, stored in a cool, dark place away from children and pets. Heat, light, and air exposure can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes over time, reducing effectiveness. Check expiration dates and follow any specific storage instructions on product labels.

Answers to the most common questions about Florida's medical marijuana program.
To obtain a Florida medical marijuana card, you must be a permanent or seasonal Florida resident with a qualifying medical condition. Schedule an appointment with a qualified physician who is registered with the Florida Department of Health's Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU). If approved, the physician enters your recommendation into the state registry, and you then apply online through the OMMU portal, pay the $75 state fee, and receive your card within approximately 10 business days.
Florida's qualifying conditions include cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, PTSD, ALS, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic nonmalignant pain, and terminal conditions diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the certification. Physicians may also certify patients with conditions of the same kind or class as those listed.
The state application fee for a Florida medical marijuana card is $75, which covers a 12-month period. Additionally, you will need to pay for your physician certification appointment, which typically ranges from $150 to $300 depending on the provider. Some physicians offer discounts for veterans, seniors, or patients with financial hardship.
Yes, many licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) in Florida offer delivery services directly to patients. Delivery is available statewide, though availability and delivery times vary by dispensary and location. You must be a registered patient with a valid MMJ card to receive delivery, and you'll need to verify your identity when the delivery arrives.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces the "high" effect. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor found in raw cannabis that converts to THC when heated through a process called decarboxylation. Florida's medical marijuana program regulates THC content, while THCA products sold through licensed dispensaries are subject to the same state oversight and testing requirements.
Florida MMJ cards are valid for one year from the date of issue. To renew, you need a new physician certification (typically required every 7 months) and must pay the $75 annual state renewal fee. Begin the renewal process at least 45 days before your card expires to avoid any gap in access. You can renew through the OMMU online registry.
Florida dispensaries offer various product categories including vaporizer cartridges and flower for inhalation, edibles (including capsules, chocolates, and gummies), tinctures and oral sprays, topical creams and lotions, concentrates like rosin and distillate, and suppositories. Smokable flower became legal in Florida in 2019. Your physician's recommendation will specify which routes of administration you're approved for.
Yes, most Florida MMTCs offer various discounts including first-time patient deals (often 20-50% off), veteran and military discounts, senior discounts (typically for patients 55-65+), financial hardship programs, referral bonuses, and rotating daily or weekly specials. Discounts vary by dispensary, so check with individual locations for current offers.
As of early 2026, recreational marijuana is not legal in Florida. Only medical marijuana is permitted for patients with qualifying conditions and a valid state-issued medical marijuana card. Ballot initiatives for recreational legalization have been proposed, and voters may see these measures in future elections. Check current Florida law and OMMU updates for the latest status.
Florida has licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) operating dispensary locations throughout the state. You can use our directory to search by city or ZIP code to find dispensaries in your area. Major metros like Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville have multiple options, while rural areas may be served primarily through delivery services.
Bring a valid Florida ID or proof of residency, medical records documenting your qualifying condition, a list of current medications, and payment for the appointment. If you have records from specialists related to your qualifying condition, these can help expedite the certification process. First-time patients typically have longer appointments (30-45 minutes) than renewal visits.
All products sold at licensed Florida MMTCs must undergo third-party laboratory testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, microbial contaminants, and residual solvents. Each product should have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available, often accessible via QR code on the packaging. Only purchase from state-licensed dispensaries to ensure product safety and compliance.
Florida does not currently have formal reciprocity agreements with other states. However, some states offer visiting patient programs that may accept out-of-state medical marijuana cards. Each state has different rules, so research the specific laws of your destination state before traveling. Never transport cannabis products across state lines, as this violates federal law.
Florida medical marijuana patients can possess up to a 70-day supply as determined by their physician, with smokable flower limited to 2.5 ounces per 35-day period. Your specific milligram limits are set by your certifying physician and recorded in the state registry. Dispensaries track purchases against these limits in the OMMU system.
