Medical Marijuana Certification

Florida’s medical marijuana program requires patients to meet specific eligibility criteria and follow all state guidelines to maintain certification. To qualify, individuals must:

• Be a Florida resident with valid identification
  (Seasonal residents who reside in the state for at least 31 consecutive days per calendar year and maintain a permanent residence elsewhere may also qualify.)
• Undergo an in-person evaluation with a qualified physician, such as Dr. Sikora
• Meet the state’s medical criteria or have symptoms comparable in severity
• Be entered into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) if approved
• Submit the state application and required fee to apply for a medical marijuana ID card
• Complete required follow-up visits every 210 days with the certifying physician
  (Follow-up visits may be completed via televisits when permitted.)

These safeguards ensure responsible use and compliance with Florida law.
