Our Process
Evaluation
This includes making an in-person visit to Dr. Memon’s office. Once you are there you’ll be required to fill out a few standard forms that will be made part of your medical record. Dr. Memon will then complete a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine if medical marijuana may benefit you.
Recommendation
Once Dr. Memon determines that your chronic condition meets the Florida Department of Health requirements for medical marijuana use he will make a recommendation for medical marijuana use and establish a medical care plan on your behalf. This is similar to writing a prescription
Registration
Now that you have been recommended for medical marijuana use Dr. Memon must register your name and information with the Florida Department of Health’s Compassionate Use database. This will allow you to obtain your medical marijuana from a dispensary licensed by the Florida Department of Health.
-
- Once approved into the State registry, you will receive your login information
- Once logged into the State registry, you will be able to complete the card process.
- Once your ID card is approved by the State (14-30 days), you can visit the Dispensary.
THE LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN FLORIDA
COMPASSIONATE MEDICAL CANNABIS ACT OF 2014
The Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act was signed into law on June 16, 2014 (Chapter 381.986, Florida Statutes) allowing physicians licensed under Chapter 458 and 459 of the Florida Statutes to recommend the use of non-smoked low-THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) cannabis to qualified patients. The Florida Department of Health required patients to meet specific requirements in order to qualify for the use of low-THC cannabis. This law allowed limited medical marijuana use in the state of Florida; it did not fully legalize it. Medical Marijuana Is Now Legal In Florida.
FLORIDA’S CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 2 OF 2016
Amendment 2 went on the November 2016 ballot and was approved by an overwhelming 70% of the Florida voters. The passing of Amendment 2 legalized medical marijuana use in the State of Florida. The new law became effective January 3, 2017, and vastly expanded the list of chronic conditions approved for medical marijuana use in the state of Florida. Amendment 2 requires the Florida Department of Health to set regulations for the issuance of identification cards, qualifications, and standards of caregivers, and rules for the registration of medical marijuana treatment centers within six months of the effective date.
