NO. Unfortunately, Florida does not currently accept medical marijuana cards from out-of-state. While many states offer a reciprocity program, Florida is not one of them. If you have a medical marijuana card from another state, you won’t be able to use it to purchase or use medical marijuana in Florida.
If you are a permanent or seasonal resident in Florida, you must apply and qualify for your Florida medical card. To findu want more information on how to get an MMJ card in Florida, please call KindHealth at 786.953.6838.
Florida does, however, offer limited reciprocity for certain out-of-state patients. If you are a visitor to Florida and need medical cannabis, you can apply for a temporary card. It’s important to follow these specific steps to ensure a smooth application process:
- Complete a Visiting Patient Form: Florida requires a valid government-issued ID and proof of your out-of-state medical marijuana card.
- Submit Medical Records: Provide up-to-date medical records from a qualified physician in your home state detailing your qualifying condition.
- Consult a Florida Licensed Physician: Schedule an appointment with a licensed physician in Florida who can verify your medical condition.
- Pay Application Fees: Application fees are associated with obtaining a temporary medical cannabis visitor card.
- Receive Temporary Card: Upon approval, you’ll receive a temporary card that allows you to purchase medical marijuana products from a Florida-licensed medical marijuana treatment center.
KindHealth does not advocate carrying cannabis products across state lines. Intrastate transport is still a federal offense; getting caught falls under federal jurisdiction. It’s crucial to have your documentation and be extremely cautious when transporting cannabis products across state lines to avoid any legal complications. The Florida Department of Health MMJ program is available for more information.
