How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Florida

step 1

Contact The Sanctuary to Arrange an Appointment with a Certified Doctor

In order to get approved for a Florida medical marijuana card, you will need to meet with a doctor first. Initiate the process by reaching out to The Sanctuary and scheduling a visit with one of our approved physicians near you. Our dedicated staff will assist you in securing an appointment and navigating the next steps.

step 2

Consult with a Florida Cannabis Doctor

During an initial consultation, your licensed medical marijuana doctor will assess whether you have any qualifying condition(s) that make you eligible for medical cannabis usage. If you are deemed eligible, your doctor will submit your information to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR), overseen by the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU).

step 3

Complete Your Registration Online or by Mail

Once your details are recorded in the MMUR by your medical marijuana provider, you may apply for a medical marijuana card with the Florida OMMU online or by mail. The Sanctuary can assist you with this process. Note that the application requires a $75 fee and a valid Driver’s License or state ID.
