How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Jacksonville

A clear step-by-step process for Jacksonville patients.

Here is what the process looks like from start to finish. Most patients complete everything in a single visit.

Step 1: Determine Eligibility

You must be a Florida resident with a valid Florida ID or driver's license, and you must have a qualifying medical condition. Not sure if you qualify? Our team can help you figure that out before you book.

Step 2: Schedule Your Appointment

When you are ready, schedule your appointment online in just a few minutes. You will also complete a short intake form about your medical history so the physician has the full picture before you arrive.

Step 3: Meet With a Qualified Florida Physician

You will meet face to face with Dr. Patel at our Jacksonville office. He will review your history, talk with you about your symptoms, and decide whether medical marijuana may be a good option for you. This is a genuine medical visit, and your questions are always welcome.

Step 4: Complete the Florida State Registration Process

If the physician approves you, your certification goes into the state's Medical Marijuana Use Registry right away. You then complete your state ID card application online and pay the $77.75 state fee.

Step 5: Receive Approval and Visit a Licensed Florida Dispensary

Once the state processes your application, you can visit any licensed Florida dispensary. Your physician's orders determine which products you are able to purchase.

Medical Marijuana Card Renewal Jacksonville

Staying active in the program takes two separate steps, and patients mix them up all the time. First, a Florida physician must recertify you, usually about every seven months. Second, you renew your state medical marijuana ID card directly with the state.

When it is time for your medical marijuana card renewal in Jacksonville, we handle the physician side. You come in, meet with the doctor, and we take care of the certification. If you have been searching for Jacksonville marijuana card renewal and feeling confused about the two steps, you are not alone, and we will make sure neither one lapses.
