If you’re interested in trying medical marijuana but aren’t sure how to go about getting a card in Florida, Iona Cannabis Clinic is here to help. The process is simpler than you might think, and we’re going to outline it in this article.

Qualifying Conditions to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Florida

If you have a condition qualified for medical marijuana treatment, it’s up to your primary care physician to diagnose it. A diagnosis qualifies you for a medical marijuana card.

Here are a number of the qualifying conditions:

• Cancer
• Extreme nausea
• Epilepsy
• HIV/AIDS
• Glaucoma
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Crohn’s Disease
• Parkinson’s Disease
• ALS
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Medical conditions with symptoms similar to those listed
• Terminal conditions of varying types
• Chronic pain

Book an Appointment with a Medical Marijuana Doctor

After you’ve been diagnosed by your primary care physician, it’s time to book an appointment with a medical marijuana doctor like Dr. Sonn here at Iona Cannabis Clinic. In order to qualify for a card, you must come in and see the doctor face-to-face.

Fill Out Your Application

After Dr. Sonn has registered you online, you’ll receive communication from the Medical Marijuana Use Registry – and remember to check your junk/spam folder! These emails contain login credentials, and that’s how you’ll acquire access to your registry profile.

You can either apply online through your registry profile or through the mail in order to receive your ID card – if you do it online, the approval time tends to be much quicker. There is a five-day processing wait for online payments, and once your payment is accepted, your application will be processed in about five more days.

After You’ve Been Approved

After you’ve been approved, you’ll receive an email that contains a temporary ID card to have until your actual card comes through the mail in 2-4 weeks. Use this card for the purchase of medical marijuana at any Medical Marijuana Treatment Center or dispensary.

Understanding Your Medical Marijuana Card

Your medical marijuana card is good for one year. Renewing it is as simple as logging onto your online profile and following the process there.

As you can see, obtaining a medical marijuana card doesn’t have to be intimidating. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us here at Iona Cannabis Clinic – we are here to help!
