How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in St. Petersburg, Florida
Florida requires patients to have a qualifying medical condition and meet applicable residency requirements. Conditions may include PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions recognized under Florida law.
A qualified physician makes the final eligibility determination.
Schedule your evaluation with My Florida Green online. Complete the secure patient intake form and gather relevant medical documentation, such as prior diagnoses, treatment records, or medication history.
For initial certification, Florida requires an in-person physician examination. Your physician will review your medical history, symptoms, previous treatments, and whether medical cannabis may be appropriate.
Certification is based on the physician’s independent clinical judgment.
If your physician determines you qualify, your certification and applicable orders are entered into Florida’s Medical Marijuana Use Registry.
You must then complete the separate state medical marijuana identification card application and pay the applicable state fee.
Once your state application is approved and your physician orders are active, you can purchase authorized medical cannabis products from licensed Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.
