Steps to Treatment
A Qualified Patient Must:
- Be a permanent or seasonal Florida resident
- Be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition by a qualified physician
- Be entered into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry
- Obtain a Medical Marijuana Use Registry Identification Card
Step 1
Patients must first be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition.
It is the responsibility of the qualified ordering physician to follow Florida law,
diagnose patients with a qualifying medical condition
and determine if medical marijuana is an appropriate treatment.
The department recommends speaking to your health care professional
to determine if medical marijuana products are right for you or your loved one.
The OMMU provides a list of the physicians who have completed the required training

- Cancer
