Question 1

Who qualifies for medical cannabis in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Program is open to adults 21 and older who have one of several qualifying medical conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, migraines, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, and several others. Patients under 21 may qualify if certified as a terminal patient. A Florida-licensed physician makes the formal determination.

Question 2

How long does it take to get a Florida medical cannabis card?

Accepted Answer

Most patients are approved and able to use a temporary ID within 24–72 hours of completing the telehealth physician consultation. The official ID card from the Florida Department of Health typically arrives by mail within two to three weeks. The eligibility check itself takes 60 seconds.

Question 3

Do I need to live in Florida to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Florida's program is restricted to Florida residents and seasonal residents (defined as people who live in Florida for at least 31 consecutive days each year). Visiting patients from other states are not eligible to purchase from a Florida dispensary, but Cannabis Miami can route out-of-state patients to a telehealth physician licensed in their home state.

Question 4

How much does it cost to get a Florida medical cannabis card?

Accepted Answer

The state ID card application fee is $75 per year. The physician consultation fee varies by provider and is typically separate. Cannabis Miami's eligibility check is free; if you qualify, we route you to a partner physician with transparent pricing.

Question 5

Can I use medical cannabis from another state in Florida?

Accepted Answer

No. Florida does not currently recognize medical cannabis cards issued by other states. Patients moving to or visiting Florida must establish residency and apply through the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry to purchase from a licensed dispensary.
