How much medical marijuana can I possess?

In Florida, the rules about medical marijuana possession are clear and patient-focused. If you’re a registered patient, you may possess up to a 70-day supply of non-smokable cannabis products. Patients may carry up to 120 grams (4.2 ounces) unless the physician determines a patient needs more. Patients are allowed up to 36 grams (1.3 ounces) of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) per month in extract forms. For the smokable flower, patients may buy up to 2.5 oz. per 35 days. There is a 4 oz. limit for the total amount of flowers you can have at any given time. These limits ensure you have access to your medication while staying within the legal framework. Always carry your medical marijuana card to verify your patient status. You can purchase medical marijuana in these legal amounts.

How is the 70-day limit calculated?

In Florida, the calculation for a 70-day supply of medical marijuana is based on the daily dosage prescribed by your physician. Here’s how it works:

1. Daily Dose: Your physician determines a specific daily dose amount for your condition, which is entered into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry.

2. Dosage Limits: Each route of administration (such as vaporization, edibles, tinctures, etc.) has its own daily dose limit. There’s also an aggregate total dose limit across all routes.

3. 70-Day Calculation: Multiplying your daily dose by 70 calculates your 70-day supply. For example, if your daily dose is 50mg, your 70-day supply would be 50mg x 70 = 3500mg.

4. Purchase Limits: This calculation sets the maximum you can purchase from a dispensary over a 70-day period.

5. Exceptions: If necessary, your physician can request an exception to these limits for your treatment needs.

It’s important to note that these regulations are in place to ensure patients have consistent access to their medication while preventing misuse. Always consult with your healthcare provider to understand your specific dosage and supply requirements. Remember to stay updated with any changes in the law that might affect your medical marijuana use.
