Frequently asked questions

What conditions qualify for a medical card in Florida?

Florida's qualifying conditions include cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, PTSD, ALS, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying condition and terminal conditions also qualify. A licensed physician can certify comparable conditions of the same kind or class, so it's worth checking even if yours isn't listed.

How much does a Florida medical card cost?

With Leafwell, a Florida medical card is $51 for your full 7-month certificate, with your first 4 months free ($17/month for months 5–7). On top of that, Florida charges a $75 state application fee for your Medical Marijuana Use Registry ID card (plus a $2.75 online convenience fee), paid to the OMMU and renewed every year.

How do I get a medical marijuana card in Florida?

There are four steps: (1) sign up and book an appointment with a Leafwell physician, (2) get approved during your evaluation if you have a qualifying condition, (3) submit your application to Florida's Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), and (4) receive your card. Most patients complete the Leafwell portion the same day.

How long does it take to get a Florida medical card?

Most Leafwell physician evaluations are approved the same day, and your doctor enters your certification in Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry right away. If you have a Florida driver license or ID, the registry verifies your identity automatically with the FLHSMV and usually approves your Registry ID card application the same day, emailing you a temporary card you can use at a dispensary immediately. Patients proving residency with other documents — including seasonal residents — should allow about 10 business days for review. Your physical card arrives by mail afterward.

Can I get a Florida medical card online?

New Florida patients must complete their first physician evaluation in person at a Leafwell clinic — this is a state requirement. After that, renewals can be done 100% online.

Do I need my medical records to apply in Florida?

Having records that document your qualifying condition helps your physician make a certification decision, but they aren't always required. Your physician will confirm your eligibility during the evaluation.

Who is eligible for a medical card in Florida?

Any Florida resident diagnosed with one of the state's qualifying conditions is eligible, and seasonal residents who live in Florida at least 31 consecutive days a year can qualify with two proofs of a Florida address. Minors can qualify with a parent or legal guardian acting as caregiver. You'll need proof of Florida residency to apply through the OMMU.

What's the cheapest way to get a medical card in Florida?

The cheapest way to get a Florida medical marijuana card is to pay only what the law requires: a qualified-physician evaluation and the state's $75 Registry ID card fee. Leafwell's evaluation starts at $51 with your first 4 months free — in person at one of our Florida clinics for new patients, as Florida law requires. Any offer that skips the physician evaluation or the state fee isn't a valid card.

Is there a $20 medical card in Florida?

No — a genuine $20 Florida medical marijuana card doesn't exist. Florida requires a licensed physician evaluation plus a $75 state Registry ID card fee, so any "$20 card" offer skips a legal step. Leafwell's evaluation starts at $51 with the first 4 months free.

Can I get a Florida medical card online, or do I need to visit in person?

Florida law requires new patients to complete their first physician evaluation in person, so Leafwell offers five Florida clinic locations for initial certifications — two in Orlando, plus Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa. Once you're an established Leafwell patient, your renewals can be done online via telehealth. Either way, your physician adds your certification to Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry.

How long does a Florida medical card last?

Your Medical Marijuana Use Registry ID card is valid for one year from the date the OMMU approves it, and you can submit a renewal application up to 45 days before it expires (the renewal fee is $75). Separately, a physician certification covers at most 210 days — three 70-day supply periods — so you'll be recertified by a qualified physician about every 7 months. With Leafwell, established patients do their recertification online.
