Informative, Knowledgeable Doctors Committed to Your Wellbeing
Since 2019, the Sanctuary Wellness Institute has helped tens of thousands of people get medical marijuana cards and gain access to the treatment they need.
Our doctors have extensive experience in the medical marijuana space, and our phone team is ready to answer any questions you may have about Florida's program.
Call (239) 880-3457 or book online today to schedule an appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor in Florida.
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.
I love how knowledgeable the doctors are. They really seem to care about my concerns and making sure I get what is needed and why.
