🌿 Step 1: Know If You Qualify
Florida’s medical marijuana program is condition-based. That means you must have a diagnosed qualifying medical condition — or a condition of similar severity — that can legally justify cannabis use under state law.
✅ Approved Conditions Include:
Cancer
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV/AIDS
PTSD
ALS
Crohn’s disease
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
Chronic nonmalignant pain
Terminal illness (with life expectancy under 1 year)
Medical conditions of the same kind or class
💡 Important: OMNI can recommend cannabis for “similar conditions” if they believe the benefits outweigh risks. That’s where working with a qualified OMNI physician really matters.
🩺 Step 2: Meet with a Certified Marijuana Doctor
You must be evaluated by a state-certified physician who is licensed to recommend medical marijuana in Florida. You can’t use just any doctor — only those registered with the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU).
Why Choose OMNI?
OMNI doctors are:
✔️ State-certified
✔️ Experienced in MMJ evaluations
✔️ Compassionate, professional, and 100% virtual (telehealth)
✔️ Fast: Same-day appointments available

💻 Step 3: Complete Your Florida Medical Marijuana Application
After your OMNI doctor approves you, they’ll enter your recommendation directly into Florida’s MMUR system (Medical Marijuana Use Registry).
Then it’s your turn:
You’ll receive an email link from the state.
Log in to the MMUR portal: https://mmuregistry.flhealth.gov
Upload:
Proof of Florida residency (license or utility bill)
Recent photo (passport-style)
Pay the state fee: $75 (credit or debit)
⏳ Approval Time: Usually 5–10 business days.
📬 Step 4: Get Your Email Approval (Then Your Card)
Once approved, you’ll receive an email from the OMMU confirming your temporary approval. That email acts as your official license until the physical card arrives by mail in 7–14 days.
With the email approval, you can immediately purchase cannabis from licensed Florida dispensaries.
🚨 Stay Legal: Florida Rules You Must Know
Even with your card, Florida MMJ laws are strict and specific. Here are the key things to remember:
🚫 You CANNOT:
Possess cannabis without a valid card
Share cannabis with others (even if they’re patients)
Use cannabis in public or on federal property
Cross state lines with medical marijuana
Grow your own cannabis at home (still illegal in FL)
✅ You CAN:
Purchase from any licensed dispensary
Choose from approved routes (inhalation, oral, topical, etc.)
Use your medicine in private settings
Renew your card annually via OMNI
🔁 Renewal: Don’t Let Your Card Expire
Your medical marijuana certification is only valid for 210 days (about 7 months) from the date your physician entered it into the MMUR system.
You must:
Get re-evaluated by your doctor before it expires
Submit a state renewal form and $75 fee annually
