STEP 1
Patients must first be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition.
​
Patients must visit and be treated by a physician who has completed the required training (a "qualified physician") and be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition to qualify for medical marijuana.
​
The OMMU provides a PDF list of qualified physicians in Florida. Patients and caregivers can also use the Qualified Physician Search tool (linked above) to find a qualified physician by location and specialty.
It is the responsibility of the qualified physician to follow Florida law, diagnose patients with a qualifying medical condition and determine if medical marijuana is an appropriate treatment.
​
The OMMU recommends speaking to your health care professional to determine if medical marijuana products are right for you or your loved one.
Step 2
Patients and their Caregivers will then be entered into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry by their Qualified Physician
​
Be sure to provide your physician with your current email address so that you receive your login credentials to the Registry. Once you've been entered into the Registry, you will receive two emails from the Office of Medical Marijuana Use: one containing your Username and one containing a temporary password.
Use the link above to be directed to the Registry
Step 3
Patients and their Caregivers will then apply for their Registry Identification Card
​
Patients and caregivers may complete an electronic or paper application. For information on how to apply for an ID card and other resources, please visit our Registry Identification Cards page or view our helpful Instructional Guides for step-by-step instructions.
Step 4
Fill your order at one of the licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.
​
Once your Identification Card application has been approved, you will be able to contact a licensed medical marijuana treatment center (MMTC) and fill an order placed by your qualified physician.
​
Patients and caregivers may only purchase medical marijuana from a state-approved medical marijuana treatment center. Medical marijuana treatment centers may deliver medical marijuana to qualified patients and caregivers. If you do not have an MMTC in your city, you can still fill your order by contacting a medical marijuana treatment center and arranging for a delivery.
