How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Tallahassee, FL

What to Expect—Appointment & Approval Process

Step 1 is to book an appointment with your SWI medical marijuana doctor

Schedule Your Evaluation With a Medical Marijuana Doctor

Book an appointment with a Florida-licensed qualified physician. Your medical history will be reviewed, and the doctor will explain Florida’s medical marijuana requirements. (Note: Initial certifications require an in-person physical examination; subsequent certification renewals may be conducted through telehealth.)

Step 2 is to meet with your SWI medical marijuana doctor

Meet with a Florida Medical Marijuana Doctor

During your evaluation, the physician will determine whether you meet Florida’s requirements for a physician certification. If you qualify, the physician will enter your certification and order into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR).

Step three: Visit dispensary near you to obtain medical marijuana product

Get Approved and Receive Your Florida Medical Marijuana Card

After your physician enters your certification and order into the MMUR, submit your identification card application and pay the $75 state fee. As of July 27, 2026, you must have a current or scheduled certification with an open order to complete your application. Once approved, you can fill your physician’s order at a licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC).

Florida Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions

Understanding the Potential Side Effects of Medical Marijuana

Medical marijuana can be a helpful part of a treatment plan for qualifying medical conditions in Florida, but patients should be aware of potential side effects. Effects can vary depending on the method of use, frequency, and THC-to-CBD ratio.

  • Respiratory issues: Smoking cannabis can harm lung tissue and may cause coughing or bronchitis. Other methods of use have their own potential health risks.
  • Tolerance and dependence: Frequent use may lead to tolerance, meaning higher doses may be needed for the same effect. Some patients may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability or sleep disturbances, if use is reduced or stopped.
  • Cognitive impact: Long-term use, especially beginning at a young age, may affect memory, learning, and concentration.
  • Mental health considerations: Individuals with a history of anxiety, depression, or psychotic disorders should use caution, particularly with high-THC products.
  • Motivation or energy changes: Some users report changes in energy or motivation.

Understanding both benefits and potential effects helps patients make informed decisions. Medical marijuana should only be used under the guidance of a Florida-licensed qualified physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only a qualified Florida physician may issue a physician certification for medical marijuana. Qualified physicians must hold an active, unrestricted Florida medical license and meet the state’s medical marijuana physician education requirements. Call (850) 360-3467 to schedule an appointment with a licensed physician.

Your initial evaluation must be in person. Renewal evaluations may be done by telehealth only with the same physician who performed your in-person exam. If you switch physicians — even within the same practice — the new physician must examine you in person first.

Florida charges a $75 processing fee for a Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) identification card application. A $2.75 convenience fee applies to online payments. Physician evaluation fees are separate.

No. The OMMU states that online Medical Marijuana Use Registry identification card applications take an average of 10 business days for approval. Processing may take longer if additional information or corrections are required.

Anxiety is not one of the conditions listed by name in Florida law. However, a qualified physician may certify a patient under the "same kind or class" provision in section 381.986(2)(k), Florida Statutes, or for PTSD, which is a listed condition. Eligibility is decided by the physician at your evaluation.

To be a caregiver in Florida you must be 21 or older and a Florida resident, be designated by a qualified patient and entered into the MMUR, agree in writing to assist, complete the state caregiver certification course (renewed every two years, max $100), and pass a level 2 background screening unless the patient is a close relative. You then apply for a caregiver MMUR ID card and pay the $75 fee.

No, you cannot grow your own cannabis in Florida, even if you have an MMJ card.

Florida patients may receive up to a 70-day supply of medical marijuana. For marijuana in a form for smoking, the limit is generally 2.5 ounces within a 35-day period, unless the Department of Health approves an exception.

No, you cannot access a Florida dispensary without a valid medical card.

No, recreational marijuana is illegal in Florida.

No, Florida does not honor out-of-state medical cards.

Whether you can use your Florida medical card in another state will depend on that state’s reciprocity laws. Some states accept out-of-state cards, while others don’t.
