How it works

A simpler path through the Florida process

We organize the process into clear steps so you know what happens next.

01

Review eligibility

Learn the basic Florida residency and medical eligibility considerations before scheduling.

02

Meet with a qualified physician

Your physician evaluates your history, condition and whether medical marijuana may be appropriate.

03

Complete the state steps

Eligible patients are entered in Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry and then complete the state ID process.

Do I qualify?

Eligibility starts with your medical history and Florida status.

Florida law identifies specific qualifying conditions and also includes certain comparable debilitating conditions, terminal conditions and chronic nonmalignant pain under defined circumstances. A qualified physician must determine eligibility.

Commonly listed qualifying conditions

This is not a self-diagnosis checklist. Final eligibility is determined by a qualified physician.
