Who Qualifies to Apply for Medical Marijuana in Miami?

Assessment of Qualifying Conditions when You Apply for Medical Marijuana
- When you apply for medical marijuana, our doctor will evaluate whether your health condition meets the criteria. If you qualify, the doctor will provide a recommendation for medical marijuana use.
- This recommendation is similar to a written prescription and allows you to apply for a medical cannabis card.
Application Process:
- Once you're medically qualified, our doctor submits your information to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (OMMU).
- The OMMU application instruction is here.
- We also assist you in applying for state fees.
- The OMMU then reviews your application.
Issuance and Benefits of Recommendation:
- Once the state receives your application fee, they will process your payment.
- After your application is reviewed, you'll receive an approval email.
- Patients may use the email as a temporary card to buy cannabis products from a licensed medical marijuana treatment center.
- This email is valid until you receive your actual ID card in the mail.
What is Medical Marijuana?
The State of Florida law has a strict definition of medical marijuana. It includes all parts of the plant in the genus Cannabis, including the seeds or extracted resins. This definition also includes any compound, salt, derivative, mixture, manufacture, or preparation of the plant, its seeds, resin, or low-THC cannabis. Any of these are dispensed from a medical marijuana treatment center and used by a qualified medical patient.
Medical Marijuana Offers Several Benefits
Pain Management
- The cannabinoids in marijuana can alter pain perception pathways in the brain, providing relief from chronic pain.
- Conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and migraines may benefit from medical marijuana.
- It can also help minimize the pain associated with cancer treatments and improve appetite.
Reduced Inflammation
- Cannabidiol (CBD) found in marijuana has anti-inflammatory effects on the central nervous system.
- This may benefit inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
Nausea Control
- Medical marijuana can help manage nausea, especially in people undergoing chemotherapy.
- FDA-approved drugs based on lab-made forms of THC (a compound in marijuana) are used for this purpose.
Neuroplasticity and Emotional Regulation:
- Some studies suggest that marijuana positively impacts neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to adapt) and emotional regulation.
- It may play a role in mood management and overall well-being.
Digestive Function and Vascular Health:
- Medical marijuana has been associated with improved digestive function and vascular health.
- However, further research is needed to understand these benefits fully.
Remember that individual responses to medical marijuana can vary, and it's important to talk with your Miami doctor before using it for your specific condition.
