I'm Qualified, Now What?
Once you are approved and have either your temporary or permanent MMID card, you or your legal representative will then be able to visit or contact one of the licensed medical marijuana treatment centers to fill the order. A list of the Florida MMTCs can be found in the KindHealth Marijuana Doctor’s office, at http://www.kindhealthflorida/medical-marijuana-treatment-centers-mmtc/ or http://www.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/office-of-medical-marijuana-use/medical-marijuana-treatment-centers/index.html.
Florida law allows for a prescription of only up to 70 days worth of cannabis medicine and patients must get 2 more refills for a total of 210 days to maintain their supply. When you call for a refill, our doctors will contact you to assess if your last prescription was effective and if there were any side effects, to determine the dosage and amount needed for your new refill. We recommend you call 4 weeks before your initial order expires to assure your refill is ordered in a timely manner. If you need a refill or have any questions about our doctors’ orders or recommendations, send us an email to info@kindhealthflorida.com and we will happily assist you.

YES. In June 2014, Florida’s ‘Charlotte’s Web’ bill was signed into law, legalizing the ability of certified physicians to order low-THC marijuana for medical use in a select group of qualified patients. In 2016 the Amendment 2 ballot initiative was approved by 71% of Florida voters. Amendment 2 became effective in January 2017 and widely expanded on the initial bill, granting the medical use of marijuana by any qualified Florida resident if deemed appropriate by a certifying physician. Medical cannabis orders, recommendations, certifications, or authorizations are not technically ‘prescriptions’ as the prescriptive authority for physicians, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), does not recognize marijuana as medicine.
Qualified medical marijuana patients are allowed to possess up to a 70-day supply of marijuana at any given time. Physicians are restricted to orders no longer than that duration. The patient’s physician may order a higher or lower quantity in relation to your 70-day supply, as determined by the medicinal amount you require. You must keep the original packaging of all marijuana products in your possession.
