If you’ve ever asked the question, “How do I get certified for medical marijuana?” here’s the answer. To obtain medical marijuana, patients need to follow these steps. First, they should visit a qualified physician for an evaluation. If the physician approves, they will enter the patient into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry. Next, the Florida Department of Health will send the patient a medical marijuana ID card. Finally, the patient or their legal representative can visit or contact one of the licensed medical marijuana treatment centers to fill the order. You can find a list of the Florida MMTCs in our office or at http://www.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/office-of-medical-marijuana-use/medical-marijuana-treatment-centers/index.html.
