It can sometimes be difficult for patients to find a doctor who will certify them. Our clinics will be open soon and we will also be offering online telemedicine evaluations for renewals, making the search for a physician easy for you.

If you believe that you have one of the qualifying medical conditions and have at least one type of proof, then you will most likely qualify. Our doctor can evaluate you, review any medical documentation you are able to provide, and issue your certification so that you can apply for your card.

Register Online and Get Your FL Medical Card

Once a Florida medical marijuana doctor approves you and enters your information into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry, your next step is to log in and apply for your registry ID card. You have the option to submit either an online or paper application; however, we highly recommend applying online due to faster processing times and an overall easier process. To apply online, you’ll need:

Entry into the state Medical Marijuana Use Registry by a qualified doctor.
Proof of Florida residency.
$75 processing fee.

Our doctor will enter you into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry upon your approval. Following your registry entry, you will receive follow-up emails from the state containing your username and temporary password, allowing you to log in and apply for your card.

The application process typically takes an average of 10 business days for approval or denial. Once approved, you will receive your registry ID card in the mail within 7-10 business days. With your card in hand, you can immediately access any dispensary in Florida to purchase medical marijuana products.

Can children become legal medical marijuana patients in Florida?

Yes. Children (under the age of 18) can become medical marijuana patients in Florida. However, the child must have a parent or guardian register as his/her caregiver.

What is a caregiver?

Caregivers provide a service for medical marijuana patients (including those under 18) who cannot or do not wish to go to a dispensary to purchase their medical marijuana. A caregiver is able to purchase medical marijuana on behalf of the patient as well as help administer the medication. Caregivers are only appointed by patients and must be 21 years or older and register with the state as a caregiver.

Will my insurance company cover the certification process, consultation, or medical marijuana application in Florida?

No. Insurance companies do not cover any costs associated with medical marijuana due to conflicts with federal law.

How much medical marijuana can a qualifying patient possess at one time?

The maximum amount a patient can purchase is 2.5 ounces every 35 days per Florida state law.

What forms of marijuana will be available to purchase in Florida?

Virtually all types of medical marijuana will be available at dispensaries in Florida including raw flower, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, topicals, transdermal patches, and more.

Can I grow my own medical marijuana or can my caregiver grow it?

Not at this time, unfortunately.

Will anyone be able to find out that I am a Florida medical marijuana patient?

No, as a medical patient you are protected by HIPAA. Green Health Docs makes the privacy and security of our patients’ confidential information a top priority. No one will be able to find out your status as a medical marijuana patient unless you openly tell them or if you are administered a drug test for marijuana.

Can my employer still administer a drug screening for marijuana if I am a legal medical patient in Florida?

Yes. With Florida being an at-will state and there not currently being any legislation in place that protects medical marijuana patients in the workplace, medical cardholders can still be administered drug screenings and receive disciplinary action regarding the results of drug screenings. For this reason, we recommend making sure you are fully aware of your employer’s policy regarding drug screenings and medical marijuana before moving forward with the process.

Can I renew with Green Health Docs if I was seen by a different doctor last year?

Yes! You do not have to be seen by the same doctor each year. If you were certified by another medical marijuana doctor last year and would like to switch to Green Health Docs, we will be happy to take care of you!
