Conditions that qualify...
How do I know if I qualify for medical marijuana?
Medical cannabis became legal in Florida in 2016, with the passing of the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative, also known as Amendment 2. Rules for use and administration were outlined several months later by Senate Bill 8A. According to Florida state law, patients suffering from the following conditions may qualify for medical marijuana treatment:
ALS (Lou Gehrig's)
Cancer
Crohn's Disease
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV/Aids
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Parkinson's Disease
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Terminal Conditions
Chronic Nonmalignant Pain
What are my options?
Medical marijuana may be administered via a vaporizer or as an oil, spray, tincture, or edible food product. Smoking remains prohibited.
What is the cost to see if I qualify for a card?
You will start by scheduling a consultation to see Dr. Richard C. Smith. The fee is $250.00 for the initial consultation, and follow up visits are $150.00. These visits are cash only, since they are not currently approved through health insurance.
