Medical Marijuana Certification in Melbourne, FL

How medical marijuana works in Florida

Medical marijuana is legal in Florida, but before you can buy from a dispensary you need to be certified by a qualified physician and entered into the state's Medical Marijuana Use Registry. Once you are in the registry, you apply for your registry ID card online through the Florida Department of Health's Office of Medical Marijuana Use, which charges its own fee for the card.

Florida's qualifying conditions
