How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Florida
Schedule an Appointment with a Medical Marijuana Doctor
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.
Meet with a Florida Medical Marijuana Doctor
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) overseen by the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU).
Apply for a Florida Medical Marijuana Card
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.
Florida Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions
The following are Florida state-approved conditions that qualify patients:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Cancer
- Chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying medical condition or that originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that qualifying medical condition.
- Crohn's disease
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- HIV/AIDS
- Multiple sclerosis
- Medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to the others listed.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Parkinson's disease
- Terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the physician certification.

How to Renew Your Card in Florida
Florida medical marijuana cards expire after one year from their date of issuance. Patients can apply to renew their cards up to 45 days before they expire. Failure to do so will result in the state marking the card as delinquent, rendering it null and void. You can renew your card online or by mail.
Per state law, Florida patients are also required to see a medical marijuana doctor every seven months or 210 days for a recertification appointment. These appointments can be conducted in-person or online.
Follow these steps to renew your Florida medical marijuana card:
- 1: Schedule a recertification appointment with one of the Sanctuary’s medical marijuana doctors
- 2: Submit a renewal application through the MMUR online portal or by mail
- 3: Pay the state’s $75 renewal fee
The OMMU typically reviews online applications within 10 business days of receiving them.
