After Florida’s medical marijuana program arrived, the state’s alternative medicine options really opened up. Although at first things seemed very restrictive, this industry truly is flourishing – and spreading compassionate care throughout the Sunshine State. In today’s blog post we will discuss the core steps to get your medical marijuana card in Tampa, and how we’ve streamlined the process to make it easier for patients to gain access.
Get Started With A Medical Marijuana Doctor Appointment
The very first step to gaining access to medical marijuana in Florida is to book an appointment with a licensed and certified medical marijuana doctor. When we say we’ve streamlined the process, we really mean we have made it so you don’t have to dig on the web to find the next steps – we want to keep things easy for you and your wellness journey. Simply visit our site and use our ‘Book Appointment’ link in the top header part of Canna-doctors.com.
From our browser based appointment tool you can choose from one of our conveniently located offices in Clearwater, St. Pete, or Tampa. From this booking tool you can choose a same day appointment if available! However if you are requesting a specific doctor, you will need to call the general number to get the appointment by name. Give us a call at 855-949-2266 to choose your medical card certification time slot with a specific doctor.
Consult With a Florida Licensed Medical Marijuana Doctor
Your next step to getting your medical marijuana certification is to have a consultation with a doctor. This is pivotal to move on to getting your medical card, since a doctor must certify that you have a qualifying condition to justify the recommendation of medical cannabis. At Canna Doctors of America, we value your privacy, so you can feel comfortable discussing your ailments in private with us. We understand it can be sensitive to talk about, but our highly trained staff is here to help understand how medical marijuana may benefit you with your conditions. All of our doctors give thorough evaluations to ensure you get the best recommendations for your qualifying condition. If you’re approved by the doctor, they will submit your info to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry.
Getting Cleared By The Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry
Once your profile is approved and officially registered with the Medical Marijuana Use Registry your medical card is sent by mail. Florida medical marijuana cards typically take 2-3 weeks to arrive in the mail from the date of approval, but that’s just for the physical card itself.
For your convenience, you can actually get approved the same day at your initial appointment at Canna Doctors of America, and receive a temporary card via email to use in place of the actual medical card. This email with a government issued photo ID will grant you access to any Florida marijuana dispensary. That’s right, same day service from consultation to frequenting a dispensary to get your meds! To set up your initial medical marijuana consultation at Canna Doctors of America, use our appointment booking tool or call us at 855-949-2266.
