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 receiving a Florida medical marijuana card is to schedule an appointment with one of the Sanctuary’s medical marijuana doctors. You can call us or book online. Please note this initial consultation must take place in-person.
At your appointment, the medical marijuana doctor will evaluate your health and confirm you have one of the state’s qualifying conditions. Once you're confirmed for medical cannabis treatment, your information will be entered into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) by the doctor.
Once you're registered in the MMUR, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to log into your account. You can submit your application online or by mail, along with a one-time $75 fee to the state.
