Health conditions that impact quality of life can be both disruptive and frustrating. While pharmaceuticals may offer temporary relief, they often come with side effects and the risk of addiction.
According to a recent survey of our patients, medical cannabis is being used to treat anxiety, pain, stress, insomnia, and for general relaxation and enjoyment, among other reasons, all without the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
Your Sanctuary Wellness Institute medical marijuana doctor has extensive experience with medical marijuana and will make sure you're well-informed and comfortable with the best treatment applications for your specific needs.
A Judgment Free & Simple Process
The first step to obtaining a Florida medical marijuana card is scheduling an appointment with one of the Sanctuary’s licensed medical marijuana doctors. You can call us or book online. This initial consultation must be conducted in-person.
At your appointment, the medical marijuana doctor will evaluate your health and confirm you have one of the state’s qualifying conditions. If they deem you eligible for medical cannabis treatment, they’ll enter your information into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR), which is overseen by the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU).
Every prospective patient added to the MMUR will receive an email from the state with instructions for logging into the MMUR online portal. You can submit your medical marijuana card application through that portal or by mail. You’ll need to provide proof of Florida residency and a passport-style photo, as well as pay a $75 fee.
